About a year after Portland's poker clubs first came under state scrutiny, the state lottery has fired the latest round in the battle by informing Portland Meadows that its video lottery license will be pulled effective Oct. 30, Willamette Week reported Tuesday.
Portland Meadows currently operates the largest video lottery terminal offering in the state, with 10 terminals that produced $1.83 million in revenue for the state and $350,000 for Portland Meadows last year, Week reported. However, Oregon Lottery canceled that contract on the premise that the poker games offered at Portland Meadows violate state law.
