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.
I had forgotten all about that history (was too young to see it first hand) and it has been a while since I drove down 301 past the wigwam.
I was thinking it was more recent as I had seen what looked like slot machines in Chesapeake Beach in the past decade. I hadn’t actually used one of them so for all I know they may actually be electronic bingo machines or something similar.
