(US).- The owners of SugarHouse Casino have formally objected to the issuance of a second casino license in Philadelphia, arguing that the region's gambling market will be tapped out after their planned us$ 155 million expansion.
In documents filed Friday with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, SugarHouse's owners also raised questions about the eligibility of certain applicants for the license. If granted, the petition to intervene would allow SugarHouse, which employs 1,500 full- and part-time workers, to make its case during licensing hearings scheduled to start January 28.
SugarHouse's preliminary statement, filed by Atlantic City lawyer John M. Donnelly, painted a bleak future for the gambling industry if a second Philadelphia casino opened.
