One thousand new jobs and a tourist destination are things you've heard time and time again about the August 11 table games referendum vote in Kanawha County.

Take another look at a possible economic boost for the county if voters approve games like black jack and roulette coming to Tri-State. One county leader is trying to appeal to voters on either side of the issue.

No matter what side of the table games debate you are on, Kanawha County Commissioner Kent Carper said on issue is black and white.

“If gaming expansion at Tri-State passes, we will have more flights at Yeager, ticket prices will go down. We know that because it's happened everywhere else,” Commissioner Carper said.

Carper added that even if you don't gamble the benefits of a bigger gaming facility will reach your wallet.

Opponents of any expansion at the track say the savings isn't worth the social consequences.

“We are working as grassroots individuals on something that is not economic development for the Kanawha Valley or for West Virginia; we are working against a couple million dollars that benefits one person-- the casino owners,” table games opponent Fred Joseph said.

The last day for early voting on table games is August 8. The actual election happens Saturday, August 11.
