Depending upon which part of the state you're in and if they pass table games outside of Charleston, WV on Saturday, you could be 4.5 hrs or so away (if you're in say Charlotte). Still not great but better than 12.
I hoping for it to pass so I'll only be about 2.5 hrs away. Though this is all assuming they end up running a good poker room and are able to spread mid-limit games (I don't play much no limit).

Very sorry to let you know that the referendum was voted down in June. It will be another two years before they can get it put back on the ballot. It passed in at least two other places in WV though, none close, but hopefully that will add pressure or influence in a couple years when they try again. I was really, really, really looking forward to a casino setting closer to me than the 3 hour AC drive. I was doing some research and apparently it took AC several tries on the referendums to pass gambling there back in the day too.

"Jefferson County - Charles Town (Charlestown Races & slots):
Failed 5,626 to 4,429.
Speculation is that the referendum failed mostly because of proposed budget allocations. Proponents have stated that they will revisit the budget and seek
another referendum."
