Is the Meadows Slot Site Viable?

Pennsylvania’s new slot machine parlors and racetracks are getting close to being awarded their slot machine licenses. After the state decided to revitalize the local racetracks with slot machine revenue, plans have been underway to bring five more slot machine locations to Pennsylvania.

Of the five racetracks though, The Meadows encountered some issues with their slot machine revenue predictions. The developers of The Meadows agree that the if the predictions are off by one million dollars, then the project isn’t feasible at the projected costs. The developers however are looking at the location of the slot machine facility and at the amount of patrons who travel pretty far to play the slot machines in nearby Pittsburgh and Virginia—based on these numbers the developers are confident that the area can support the anticipated 1,800 slot machines.

The other locations look like they will have no issues receiving their slot machine licenses, and it is predicted that the facilities will begin opening in 2007.
