In 1968.

We were rolling up until that time, Waldorf Md. was about to become the Las Vegas of the east. People driving down to Fla. from up north were stopping off and spending a fortune.

Montgomery County wa jealous and their preachers got together and told the old lie about indigent persons spending their welfare money in the slots and they ended it.
