WV Introduces Roulette, Craps and Blackjack
WHEELING – Roulette, craps and blackjack will begin this week at Wheeling Island

racetracks become fully-operating casinos.
Both will host charity events Monday and Tuesday nights to introduce their new
games. Monday’s events are scheduled for 4-8 p.m. at both casinos.
If all goes as expected, the West Virginia Lottery Commission will grant
approval to officially kick off these games at 10 a.m. on Thursday.
Mountaineer plans a ribbon cutting on Thursday, and a customer will be selected
from a drawing to be the first to roll the dice at their craps tables. They have
added 50 new gaming tables including 27 blackjack tables, 6 craps tables, 4
roulette tables, and 13 assorted games. There is 21,800 square feet dedicated to
the new games and interspersed throughout in different areas. One roulette and
blackjack area will be on the second floor of the grandstand above the poker
tables. Four roulette and blackjack areas are distributed in the hotel casino
area.
