Tim Cope，Evitts Resort LLC的老总，跟国家老虎机委员会提出了这样一个陈述，公司希望在目前的设施的状况下，把500个老虎机放置在会议室内，同时也计划在三年内增加会议空间。

　　“现在，金融市场是艰难的，“Cope告诉记者。”我们每一天都看报纸是吧？这不仅是地方的，它还包括国际的，当然作为一个农村地区新启动的赌场还有一个问题，就是那个地区是否真的有足够的人来支持这越来越大的工程。”

　　国家的老虎机委员会需要批准这修订后的计划。

　　Cope说Evitts会为这新的观点写一份核对，这将花费25000000美元至30000000美元。该计划将尽快在星期五出来，如果委员会批准这个改变的话。

　　Cope说赌场可以扩大到拥有850台甚至更多的机器，前提是如果企业准备继续扩大发展的话。

　　Cope这样说道，该公司还计划保留现在在小屋内工作的所有员工。当那些老虎机到了的时候，将会增加大约100个工作左右。大约一半的新工作已经提前计划了，Cope说。

　　与此同时，插槽委员会在星期二的下午会做出一个决定，就是奖励一个老虎机许可证给巴尔的摩赌场。这是目前法律允许内的最后五个赌场网站，但是尚未有执照颁发给开发者。

　　巴尔的摩赌场将会有有3750台老虎机，这在洲里是第二大的。凯撒希望工程将在明年二季度开始施工，然后大概一年之后就可以开放。

　　赌场是位于巴尔的摩的市中心，距离园卡姆登码和并购银行球场不远。

　　Tim Cope, president of Evitts Resort LLC, told a state slot machine commission that the company wants to put 500 slot machines inside meeting space in the current facility, with plans to add on meeting space within three years.

　　"Well, financial markets are tough," Cope told reporters. "We read the paper every day right? It's not only local, it's international, and certainly as a start-up new casino in a somewhat rural area there was a question about if there's really enough people in that area to support the bigger project."The state's slot machine commission will need to approve the revised plan.

　　Cope said Evitts is ready to write a check for the new concept, which would cost between $25 and $30 million. The plan could be settled as soon as Friday, if the commission approves the changes.

　　Cope said the casino could ramp up to 850 machines or more if business dictates further expansion later.

　　The company still plans to keep all of the employees who now work at the lodge, Cope said. About 100 jobs would be added when the slot machines arrive, about half the new jobs previously planned, Cope said.

　　Meanwhile, the slots commission could make a decision Tuesday afternoon about awarding a slot machine license to Caesars Entertainment for a Baltimore casino. That is the last of the five casino sites currently allowed under the law that has yet to have a license awarded to a developer.

　　The Baltimore casino would have 3,750 slot machines, the second-largest in the state. Caesars hopes construction will begin in the second quarter of next year, with a projected opening about a year later.

　　The casino would be located in downtown Baltimore, not far from Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium.
