Hollywood Slots Hotel and Raceway in Bangor, Maine is looking to add more games to their gaming floor for their customers to enjoy. The racino is the only one in the state and they would like to offer their players more than just slots. Hollywood Slots is looking to add blackjack and poker as well as other table games if they can get legislative approval. Officials at Hollywood Slots believe if they had more to offer their customers than more people would come in. Jon Johnson the General Manager at Hollywood Slots commented: “To make this a full-service property, we really need to have table games. Right now people that are traveling to Connecticut to play table games, and people who are traveling to New Hampshire to play poker, they would much rather travel here than take their money out of state. We’re actually losing revenue and the state of Maine is losing tax revenue that they sorely need.”
Penn National Gaming owns Hollywood Slots and they are currently in talks with legislators to possibly add the table games. A table game bill is set to be introduced in the coming session. Officials of the city have stated that they are not making any efforts to get the table games but they are open to learning more about the games.
