Delaware Park Table Game Gambling Begins With Arrest
Table game gambling has arrived and just like opponents to expanded gambling have said all along, it came with increased criminal activity, sort of. One man was arrested at Delaware Park for placing illegal bets on one of the new tables at the casino.
Twenty-five year old Maurice Thomas has been arrested and charged with capping on four different occasions. Thomas was released on $1,000 bond for each of the charges, but he may no longer gamble at Delaware Park.
Capping is the formal term for when a bettor places a late bet on top of his original bet. Casinos are constantly on the look out for these type of gamblers, and it was clear that Delaware Park wanted everyone to be warned about how serious they would treat the offense in the future.
"There will be many instances when all the table games arrive at Pennsylvania and Delaware casinos where seasoned gamblers will try to take advantage of a new operation," said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz, "But if these gamblers are caught, expect the casinos to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. They do not want cheaters thinking this is the place to go to get away with their scams."
Delaware and Pennsylvania are both expecting to become major forces in the Northeast when it comes to casino gambling. Atlantic City casinos have been struggling, and New Jersey is ripe for other states to move in and become a worthy competitor.
Pennsylvania will have nine casinos offering table games within the next month. Pennsylvania lawmakers legalized the table games earlier this year, after the casinos had already surpassed AC casinos in slot revenue last December.
