Table Games - Kanawha County

As both sides try to sway voters on the table games issue, the Charleston Daily Mail examines the question of increased crime linked to gambling.

"Metro 911 statistics indicate police are four times more likely to be called to the neighboring Wal-Mart than the Nitro track itself," the newspaper reports. "Since July 1, 2006, emergency responders have been dispatched to the track 89 times. Most of the calls involved accidents, vandalism and other minor disturbances. In comparison, Metro 911 took 375 calls from the Nitro Wal-Mart. Most of those involved reports of accidents and shoplifting."
