Casino Operators Hot to Trot for Phila.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced today that it received six applications for the available Category 2 Slot Machine Operator license prior to the close of the application period on Thursday. The Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act mandates that this license be awarded to an applicant that would place the facility in the City of Philadelphia.
A Category 2 stand-alone license enables the casino operator to have up to 5,000 slot machines and 250 tables games.
The agency will later announce when public versions of the applications will be available on the Board's web site.
