Beginning in October 2007, Mountaineer and Wheeling installed poker table games, followed by<br />

a full spread of table games beginning in December. The host county referendum for Charles<br />

Town Races was defeated at that time, but Charles Town later installed tables in July 2010.<br />

Mountaineer had 109 tables, including 40 poker tables in 2010. Wheeling Island had 64 tables,<br />

including 20 poker tables and Charles Town had 134 tables, including 30 poker tables.<br />

Mountaineer and Wheeling have since decreased their offerings in 2011.<br />

The table games have performed well, though revenues have declined in 2009 and 2010 at<br />

Mountaineer and Wheeling. In 2010 daily win per table was $1,324 at Mountaineer, $1,135 at<br />

Wheeling Island and $1,436 at Charles Town. The performance of the poker tables has varied<br />

widely, due possibly to having an over-supply of tables, and the increasing competition from<br />

neighboring states. In 2011, each facility has seen win per poker table and win per other table<br />

increase during the first four months. The increase in these figures can largely be attributed to<br />

the fact that each facility has reduced the number of tables offered. Charles Town has been the<br />

clear leader with a win per poker table of $1,800 and a win per other table of almost $3,900.<br />

West Virginia’s table performance by property is shown below.<br />
