There were a lot of numbers being tossed around at Harrah’s yesterday.
There usually are. People go there to bet.
“21” is usually pretty popular, especially with gamblers who plunk themselves down at the new blackjack tables at the Chester casino.
But there was another number mentioned yesterday at the little shindig they held to officially introduce table games that I found most impressive.
1,500.
That’s how many people Harrah’s now employs at its Chester casino. Table games by themselves created 600 full-time jobs paying anywhere from $35,000 to $45,000 with full benefits.
Today is all about jobs, jobs and more jobs,” said Greg Fajt, the head of the state Gaming Control Board.
Sounds like a winning hand for Chester.
