I believe this must go to a referendum in each county with a current casino. So it must wait until the next election.

Actually, I read where if the casino is willing to cover the costs, it can be done in a special election.

Each track would ask its county commission to add the question to the next primary or general election ballot. A track could request a special election, but could pay its costs. The bill would also allow a "recall" election after five years.

The lottery commission already has "rules" setup from where this tried to get passed 3 years ago. The state senate passed a similar bill 3 years ago so hopefully this slides through the senate quickly

The article that I ready on this "Lottery Commission ready to regulate table games" from the Daily Mail is no longer archived on their web site, but they still have work to do. They are not starting from scratch, but they will need to finalize some things. I think they would have plenty of time to do this from the time this potentially passes the WV Senate to when the actual local elections take place.
