Cuts Coming to Dover Downs Casino

Dover Downs Website

Dover Downs is set for another round of cuts.

Lawmakers in Dover this session turned aside a request by the company for more financial help.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that Dover Downs CEO Ed Sutor told reporters after a meeting of the Video Lottery Advisory Council that there would be adjustments.

But he declined to be more specific.

In May the casino said that it was eliminating table games along with around a dozen positions.

The casino had urged Delaware lawmakers to approve either new tax cuts or credit to prevent the layoffs.

Meanwhile, the News Journal reports that the company could be taken off the New York Stock Exchange if its price share does not get above a dollar.
