twitterTrack to get 1,000 new slot machines
Friday, March 22, 2002 | 10:02 a.m.
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The number of slot machines at Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming would double under a proposal the Lottery Commission was expected to approve today.
As many as 1,000 new slot machines would be added under a $15 million expansion plan that includes a 57,000-square-foot addition. The Mardi Gras-themed building will be styled after vintage New Orleans, with brick and wrought iron accents, skylights and sweeping fountains.
The Nitro track currently has a 33,000-square-foot casino with about 1,000 machines and live dog racing six days a week. Construction of the addition began in October and will likely wrap up by late summer.
The new building will feature a restaurant, a simulcasting parlor and at least four bars, as well as an entertainment venue with a stage.
