Table Games: On The Verge...Sorta

The path of the racetrack table games bill took several twists and turns Wednesday.

The Associated Press has the (latest) latest.

The measure required a joint House-Senate committee to meet over a sticking point: delegates objected to language added by the Senate, arguing it could inadvertently remove a $5 betting cap on video lottery machines.

After Senate leaders seemed assured that they would relent on the language, they instead refused. But the conference committee members say the Senate will reconsider that refusal tomorrow.

So, will the bill be on its way to Gov. Joe Manchin by lunchtime Thursday? After today's to-and-fro, who can say...

I hope to link to the AP's glance of the bill's highlights.
