Dover Downs is looking at some tough times.
Regional casino competition has doubled over the last few years while the bank demanded the casino’s mortgage as collateral when the gambling outfit recently refinanced $42 million of debt.
Meanwhile, its stock price has dropped to 72 cents after hovering around 30 dollars a share.
And it has the largest tax burden in the region at 43.5 percent.
After spending $283 million to building the casino and expand the casino over the last 18 years the owners say they are now fighting for their financial lives.
