Slot Machines Roll Into
St. Mary's
by the Truckload!
This new room full of slot machines is
one of a half dozen locations in St. Mary's County which
has people lining up to play. This scene was
Wednesday afternoon, on the first full day of slots
action at Boatman's Mini Mart, on Queentree Landing Road
at Rt. 235 in Oakville.

Maryland Senate President Mike Miller says emphatically
that the slot machines being trucked in every day to St.
Mary's are illegal; Sen. Roy Dyson is seeking a ruling
from the Attorney General. Sen. Miller says that
he has worked for years to be able to bring slot
machines back and that voters will be able to vote for
or against them on a referendum on this fall's ballot.
READER
FEEDBACK: Should the illegal
slot machines be allowed now, should they be tossed out,
do you favor slot machines being spread around the area
in every store and bar that wants them? Send your

READER FEEDBACK:
I am not a
supporter of slot machines in St. Mary’s County nor in
Maryland. I especially feel that slot machines
currently in the county are illegal. Hopefully, voters
will defeat this issue at the ballot box.

READER FEEDBACK:
Yes I believe the
slots should be allowed not only in the county but the
state. The revenue would ease some of these taxes and
put money in the schools coffers as well.

FEEDBACK:
We have slots and all money that we make off the
slots goes toward all our charities. The Brass Rail
cannot say this...I'm sure that some of the money, if
not all the money is going back to the bar....if they
are giving some of their money to charity's do they have
documentation to prove that.
