40 percent of Pennsylvania's municipalities banning mini-casino
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board informed on Thursday that about 40 percent of Pennsylvania's municipalities are banning a new mini-casino allowed under a two-month-old state law expanding casino-style gambling. The list of 1,017 municipalities was completed before the deadline on Sunday.
The state's 11 largest licensed casinos can bid at next Wednesday's auction on the first of the 10 mini-casino licenses. The minimum bid is $7.5 million and the winning bidder's chosen location will be unveiled, but it cannot be within 25 miles of a competing casino.
Some of the municipalities that banned a mini-casino are inside of those 25-mile circles, including Philadelphia. The law also bans six counties from hosting a casino, including Armstrong, Montgomery, Fayette, Carbon, Wayne and Pike.
Nine subsequent auctions will be held through May 16.
