Less than two months after introducing poker, the center is now rolling out the rest of its table games. "We're going to have Blackjack, Three-card Poker, Four-card Poker, Let-it-ride, Craps and Roulette," said Richard Tesler, the center's Director of Casino Operations.

However, it remains to be seen whether concerns over the economy will keep people from placing their bets.

"The gaming industry has been hit just like every other small business in the area. There's not as much disposable cash for people to spend on entertainment," said Tesler.

But West Virginia lottery officials say statewide, table games are bringing in a steady $1.7 million a week and sales overall don't seem to be slowing down much.

"The video lottery side at race tracks may be down a bit maybe as much as five-percent for the first three months compared to last year but that could be competition from Pennsylvania as well as the economy and gas prices," said Nancy Bulla, a spokesperson for the West Virginia Lottery.

Still, Steve Burton, Director of the state's Problem Gambers Help Network says when times are tough, people can be tempted to try to make some quick cash.

"Sometimes when we're in crisis we think there's a short way of getting out of that crisis. What we always have to realize with gaming is it's a form of entertainment. It's for fun so we shouldn't be spending any more money going to machines or tables than we would in any other form of entertainment," said Burton.

Meanwhile, tri-state officials are hoping people have pinched enough pennies to play the odds.

"I believe Kanawha County voters have waited a long time for this. I think they'll come out and support us," said Tessler.
