Delaware & Massachusetts roll their dice?

MEETINGS and discussions about the potential of online gambling within Delaware and Massachusetts are taking place at the moment. Businessweek reports that state officials have recently taken their initiatives a step further, setting up a series of meetings with representatives of the state’s gambling industry.

State financial director Tom Cook attended some of these meetings on Tuesday, briefing Delaware’s Video Lottery Advisory Council at Dover Downs hotel & casino.

It was proposed last month by state officials that there should be an expansion of gambling, including the intrastate legalisation of online gambling, giving permission for more onsite venues for gambling, & giving financial breaks to Delaware’s three existing land casinos.

Officials are encouraging the land casino operators to support their efforts, holding out the carrot of money generated from expanded gambling, which they say would allow them to eliminate the $4 million in slot machine fees paid by the existing casinos & cut their table game fees from $6.75 million to $3 million.
