Blackjack or Slots?
Can anyone tell me if the new Majestic Star Casino being built will be slot machines only, or will table games such as Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette be allowed?

I don't know why so many states are against table games. Rooms full of nothing but slot machines isn't really a casino to me so I won't be a face in that crowd. I think West Virginia approved them as soon as there was news we were getting a casino. Ohio isn't allowed casinos yet. They recently approved keno.

I think that the state legislature found it easier to pass a slots bill first, then the table games will come. The senior citizens love slot machines, and that's the bulk of the traffic at these places. Don't get me started on gambling as an engine of economic development.

Slots are the money makers of any casino, as there are tons of them and many people feel more comfortable playing slots over table games.

Yes this is true, but if Pittsburgh wants to make serious money and compete with WV casinos they will have to add table games.

The robotics experts at CMU and the doctors at UPMC will most likely disagree with your [SIZE=3]Stereotypical views of Pittsburgh people. [/SIZE] |
