Across the US, no region has expanded casino gambling at a faster rate than the Northeast. With dozens of new casinos being built, the Northeastern states are becoming the top destinations for gaming in the country.

Delaware lawmakers are considering a plan that would expand the region's gaming base even further. Representative Pete Schwartzkopf has proposed legislation that would bring two new casinos to the state.

Unlike in other states, the Delaware expansion could gain strong support being that Schwartzkopf is the majority leader of the House. opponents have pointed to the amount of casinos in the region as a reason that the two casino plan should be defeated in Delaware.

One of the goals of the new casino proposal is to bring jobs to Delaware residents. Thousands of residents have lost their employment during the economic recession, and lawmakers have been working on ways to put those people back to work. Casino gambling has been used in many states for the purpose of job creation in the past couple of years.

Gambling expansion in Delaware is nothing new. Several years ago, Delaware lawmakers approved sports gambling. The state joined Las Vegas as the only states in the country to offer sports betting. Delaware, however, was limited in what they could offer, as federal laws claim that only parlay bets can be made in Delaware.

Existing gaming facilities in Delaware are against the plan for new casinos. The casino owners claim that the new casinos would not add new jobs, they would just take jobs from other casinos. Legislators have a couple of months to discuss the casino proposal, as it is not expected to come up for a vote until the summer.
