Gambling In The Mountain State

* VIDEO LOTTERY ADVERTISING: Since The Associated Press first reported Friday that a federal judge blocked the ad ban on video lottery parlors, The Charleston Gazette hears from club owners eager to act on it.

(Update: The judge's order is available online.)

* VIDEO POKER PARLORS: Kanawha County prepares to hold its first public hearing this week on video lottery, as MetroNews reports. But the move has spurred allegations of grandstanding from
West Virginia Amusement & Limited Video Lottery Association President Herk Sparachane, according to Public Broadcasting (with audio).

* TABLE GAMES: Public Broadcasting also reports that the state's two Northern Panhandle tracks should begin offering live poker by Nov. 1, once the Lottery Commission develops the regulations necessary for casino table games (also with audio).
