NITRO, W.Va. — The cards are finally being dealt at Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center, the last of three West Virginia tracks to implement voter-approved table games.

State Lottery spokeswoman Nancy Bulla says the agency has given the Nitro track the go-ahead to start offering poker on Thursday.

Wednesday’s decision followed two days of charity poker events that served as a test run for procedures and security measures while also giving the dealers practice.

Tri-State spokeswoman Kim Lawrence says the track has 24 poker tables in its Big Easy room and has another 16 reserve tables available for special tournaments.
