Final table games open at Kanawha County track

October 09, 2008 @ 09:04 AM

NITRO, W.Va. -- Gamblers at Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center can now play blackjack, roulette, craps and other table games.

The West Virginia Lottery Commission gave its blessing Wednesday for the track to add the games beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Thereafter, the games can be played daily from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

The Nitro track started offering poker last month, more than a year after Kanawha County voters approved table games. Two Northern Panhandle racetracks have been offering table games since last October.
