The state's slot machine venues have found a way to bypass the state's
prohibition on casino-style table games. They are about to introduce video
gambling that recreates the experience of playing blackjack or poker around
a table. The multi-player machines arrived this week at Delaware Park, Dover
Downs and Midway Slots at Harrington Raceway. They are expected to be put
into service in a few days. The new games allow up to six people to play at
the same time while seated in a semi-circle. The state's Lottery office says
the games enhance the social aspect of gambling, allowing players to
interact.
