PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Gamblers have been able to play slot machines in Maine for six years. In a matter of months, they’ll be placing bets on blackjack, poker and craps as casino table games arrive in Maine.

Hollywood Slots in Bangor plans to add 14 table games in the spring with six tables for blackjack, four for Texas Hold ’em poker and one each for let-it-ride poker, three-card poker, craps and roulette.

Hollywood Slots has had slot machines since it opened in 2005, but was prohibited from having table games until voters gave their approval in a referendum on Nov. 8.

A casino under construction in Oxford and slated for a June opening plans to have at least 10 table games, but the exact number and mix hasn’t been determined.
