This has a decent chance of passing. I have been in touch with the CEO of Dover Downs the past two years. He even sent me the report that was presented to the state's legislation year's ago. It was an absolute joke. They quoted findings from Jimmy The Greek and Lenny Del Genio...not exactly the most valid consultants to have on your side. No wonder it didn't pass. I sent them revisions and thoughts last year on the report which I hope they updated.

They've consistently have had the majority vote with the upper brass (elected officials) however, the only dissenting voice has been the Governor, and she's been the final say.

The reason that it may go this time around is because Delaware has the "Racinos" that have been the only game in town in the northeast (besides Atlantic City) but news that neighboring state's such as Maryland, and I think Pennsylvania, not sure on that one, have passed legislation for slot machines. Now people won't necessarily be going to Delaware to play. They need something unique from the other state's to bring in more revenue. For sure, this would do it.

I'm in contact now with their offices and will report anything different from the general news if I hear something. Remember though, just because they pass it in one place in Delaware, it still has to pass the general vote as well. I don't see anything happening for a little while. Don't hold your collective breaths....yet!
