The "casino" law was written to accomodate the Greenbrier Hotel, with a local option clause and a limit of only one casino in WV. The law limits gaming to residents of the hotel, so no one can gamble if they are not a guest of the hotel. If you can't pay the 100 or so per night to stay there, you can't vote.
Greenbrier County voted No, and then developers in Cabell Co. tried to make it happen at the old Frederick hotel, plus the 3rd Ave buildings for the Casino. Cabell Co. voted no, so now developers at the old Weston State Hospital are trying to place the one casino there. I read that Lewis county (I think) has opted for the local option vote soon, so if approved they may get it.
The current proposal by Wise, is to allow table games at the three already approved gaming tracks.
