It doesn’t look like Delaware will be getting anymore new casinos for now.
Lawmakers in Dover tabled a measure yesterday that would have added two more including one in Sussex County and another in New Castle County.
The bill’s sponsor Representative Dennis Williams said the he was one vote short of what he needs to get the legislation to the floor of the House of Representatives.
The Talleyville Democrat told WBOC that he was in discussions with two other law makers, but time is running out.
The current session ends on June 30th and Wednesday was the last day set aside for for committee hearings.
Meanwhile, Dover Downs CEO Ed Sutor said he hopes it stays in committee adding that he believes additional casinos could put some of the three existing casinos out of business.
