A new business has opened in Lovington for video gambling called the Panther Pride Parlor. The business has six machines that contain 10-15 games each. The machines were provided to the business by J&J Gaming.
The business provides free soda and water to those gambling, however there is a charge for alcoholic beverages. According to owner John Renfro, both bars in town also have video gambling but some people don’t like the bar atmosphere. “The people that come in here want to relax and gamble,” he said.
The Panther Pride Parlor is located at 117 W. State Street in Lovington. Their hours are Monday-Saturday 9am to 9 pm.
