Table games in Pa.?

November 29, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Having slot machines at racetracks in Pennsylvania is still in its infant stage but already there is talk a bill is being drafted to add poker, blackjack and other table games, turning the slots parlors into full-blown casinos. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs opened its slots-only parlor just about two weeks ago, with the state's other racetracks soon to follow.

Reports indicate State Rep. Bill DeWeese (D, Greene), who currently is the House minority leader but expected to become the speaker of the House when the Democrats soon take control, is drafting the bill. Still to be decided is if local ordinances would be required to decided whether any table games could be added.

On the other side of the equation, a spokeswoman for Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was quoted as saying the governor believes there is “not an appetite” in the state for gambling other than slots.
