Don't Bet The House: Bill To Expand Gambling Could Fold

The House is making plans to change a controversial slots bill passed by the Senate on Tuesday.

The measure allows a sixth casino to be located in Prince George's County. As a sweetener, the bill lets current slots operators keep more revenue, and it opens the door to table games.

WBAL-TV 11 News reporter David Collins said it appears that a majority in the House and Senate approve of the table games, but what some members of the House find troubling is adding a sixth gambling location before the other five approved locations are fully operational.

Some delegates said the odds on expanding gaming and adding a sixth gambling location to be located in Prince George's County are iffy.
