Pennsylvania sets November 18 vote to decide Philly’s second casino
The applicants are:
• Tower Entertainment(The Provence) at 400 North Broad Street
• Market East Associates (Market 8 Casino) at 8th and Market Street
• PHL Local Gaming (Casino Revolution) at 3333 South Front Street
•Stadium Casino (Live! Hotel and Casino) at 900 Packer Avenue
There is, of course, opposition to a second casino in town — not least from Philadelphia's first casino, SugarHouse, which says that the implosion of gambling in nearby Atlantic City, along with the decline of slots in Pennsylvania, is a signal that the market is saturated.
"If this second license is issued, it's bad for everybody. It's bad for us, it's bad for our vendors, it's bad for our employees and it's bad for most of our competitors," Wendy Hamilton, general manager of SugarHouse, told NBC 10 on Friday.
SugarHouse recently opened a temporary 24-table poker room, part of a US$ 164 million expansion of its facility.
