As the Pennsylvania Gaming Board continues the hearings
to determine which applicants will in fact receive slot machine licenses in
the state, the early bird casinos have successfully won approval this past
week. The first to go before the Board were applicants proposing to add slot
machine casinos to existing racetracks—and now gamblers can rest assured
that five racetracks now hold slot machine licenses.
It seems that the applicants successfully assured the Board that they would
help the economy, tourism, and that they were of sound character. One of the
approved slot machine racetrack casinos is Pocono Downs—and the racetrack
doesn’t plan to waste any time. They anticipate that the slot machine parlor
will be up and running by November—which is great news for slot machine
gamblers awaiting news of when slot machine parlors will open near them.
With the hearings in their beginning stages, slot machine enthusiasts can
rest assured that slot casinos are coming soon. Next up before the
Gaming Board are all of the applicants seeking a slot machine license for
stand-alone casinos. These casinos will populate the towns and counties
without a racetrack, or with racetracks that don't need the boost adding
slot machines brings.
