Del. Eyes Steps To Keep Md. Slots Patrons

DOVER, Del. (AP) ― The president of Delaware's Video Lottery Advisory Council wants the state to consider allowing table games or sports betting, now that Maryland has legalized slot machines.

Ed Sutor says Delaware could lose slots patrons from Maryland. He says 35 percent of customers at Dover Downs -- where he is president and CEO -- are from Maryland.

Sutor says Governor-elect Jack Markell's openness to table games and sports betting would give Delaware's casinos a competitive advantage over casinos authorized for nearby Maryland counties.

A January report from the state says sports betting could boost annual state revenues by $26 million.
