Slots spending
More details about spending by pro-slots organizations leading up to the referndum vote that authorized more gambling are trickling out.
The state Board of Elections today released documents showing that Cloverleaf Enterprises, the owner of Rosecroft Raceway in Prince George's County, spent $41,500 as part of the multi-million dollar pro-slots campaign.
The Washington Post reported that the Cloverleaf money went to recorded phone messages backing the referendum.
As the Post said, Rosecroft would not be eligible for a slots license, but would benefit from a portion of slots proceeds going to racing purses. The track has suspended its live racing operations because of financial problems.
