Pennsylvania Approves Slots
Pennsylvania's Gaming Control Board has approved 11 applications for slot-machine gaming licenses, including five for stand-alone casinos. Among the new properties will be two waterfront casinos in Philadelphia.
The five are:
The MOUNT AIRY CASINO at the Mount Airy Resort in the Poconos, which plans to open in November;
HSP Gaming's SUGARHOUSE CASINO, on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, expected to open in April 2008;
Philadelphia Entertainment's FOXWOODS CASINO PHILADELPHIA in south Philadelphia, which will be operated by Foxwoods Development, with plans to open in November 2008;
The PTIG GAMING CASINO in Pittsburgh, between Heinz Field (home of the Steelers) and the Carnegie Science Center, expected to open in March 2008; and
The SANDS BETHWORKS CASINO, opening in July 2008 at the former Bethlehem Steel Co. plant in Bethlehem.
State gambling regulators turned down several other casino proposals, including one for a casino just a mile from the border of Gettysburg National Military Park, and a bid by Donald Trump to build a casino in north Philadelphia.
