Dover Downs says it eliminated 48 jobs over the last three months – twice the number the company planned to make just three months ago.
The additional 24 job cuts resulted from a decline in business stemming from the casino's recent decision to close table game operations during early weekday mornings, according to CEO Denis McGlynn.
"When we cut those table games, it had a domino effect," he said Thursday. "We ended up not needing food and beverage workers, valet operators and other jobs that provided services during that same time period."
Dover Downs announced in late April it would stop offering table games between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. Monday through Thursday.

What???? The beginning of the end was not suppose to begin until October.
ReplyDeleteThey have been going down hill for years. Unless I am in Vegas gambling and getting free drinks and great food and shows everywhere else makes we feel like an addict. No free drinks , no great shows and basic food. The de casino industry is a joke and caters to addicts.
ReplyDeleteWell if they let you win once in awhile. Bet the harness races. My horse way out front then you can obviously see the jockey PULLING back the reins and lost. Since then haven't been back. Screw them.

ReplyDeleteMD's does too and once they sucked the addicts dry, we'll see these layoffs in MD. This is what happens when stupid people elect stupid politicians.
