According to a report, Hollywood Slots general manager John Osborne has asked lawmakers to authorize table games for the racino in Bangor, Maine

An article by The Maine Public Broadcasting Network states that Hollywood Slots is having trouble competing with casinos in southern New England because it doesn't offer table games like poker and roulette.
"One of the difficulties we have in our environment is we really don't have a lot of people with a high household income," Osborne was quoted as saying. "So when you look at some of these other jurisdictions, you're sitting with several million people within 60 to 90 minutes of that location with household incomes that are 50 to 60 per cent higher than what we have in Bangor."
