December 08, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

On Thursday morning (Dec. 8) the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA), which owns Pocono Downs, filed its application for a Conditional Category 1 gaming license--which included a $50 million check--with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.



Owners of Downs Racing LP, which owns and operates Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and its off-track wagering sites, the MTGA is the first in the state to file an application for a slots operation.



Robert Soper, president and chief executive officer at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said, “Much hard work was put into this very comprehensive application and we are confident we addressed all of the statutory and regulatory requirements of the application.�



He added that the entire filing is some 40 feet long and weighed more than a half-ton.



The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is accepting applications for all slots operating licenses through Dec. 28. The board is expected to issue a total of 14 licenses with Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs one of three existing racetracks in Pennsylvania that qualify to operate up to 5,000 slot machines.
