Jones tells KEEL listeners that "we knew that the 1,200 foot admissibility of moving gaming operations onto land would be attractive to first generation properties.I'm aware of a variety of different licensees who are looking at the concept and I know of three that plan, likely next year in the first or second quarter, to file petitions with the board to do that."
