A West Virginia Daily News historical roundup includes a brief gambling-related note tied to The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs.
In its July 29 “Echoes of the Past” feature, the newspaper said The Greenbrier had confirmed it would apply to the state for permission to operate “gray machines,” which the page described as video gambling devices. The item appears as one of several historical snippets on the page, which also includes entries from 1926, 1951, 1976, and 2001.
The source does not say whether that application was ultimately filed or approved. It also does not provide a date for the planned request beyond including it in the retrospective roundup.
That makes the item notable mainly as a historical reference point rather than a current regulatory update. For West Virginia gambling readers, the key verified takeaway is limited: at the time referenced by the roundup, The Greenbrier was planning to seek state permission to operate video gambling devices.
The same page is primarily centered on unrelated local history. Its main 2001 feature says Mark Bartos of Lewisburg received his solo wings at a Greenbrier County Airport Authority meeting after becoming the first cadet member of WV100, the Greenbrier Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, to solo in a Cessna 172 aircraft.
Because the gambling mention is brief and embedded in a broader non-gambling feature, there is no new action for West Virginia players or casino visitors reported in the source. The open question left by the roundup is whether the planned application for gray machines moved forward and what, if any, state decision followed.
