Dan Adkins, vice president of racetrack owner Hartman & Tyner Inc., sent Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper a letter on Monday explaining delays in the expansion of the gaming facility and laying out a timeline for table gaming.

County voters approved the addition of casino-style table games at Tri-State last August, but visitors have yet to see the first poker game at the facility.

    Mr. Adkins probably said everything with a poker face. The more he talks the less believeable he is. If you want to make a million dollar payment and someone tells you no and you accept it then should you really be in charge of anything.

    "I would have liked to have paid my fee back in March, but I was told no," Adkins said Monday.
