Meadows Adding More Slot Machines

The Meadows Casino and Racetrack is adding in more slot machines to those they already have. They have been working on expanding their ideas and plans for a permanent casino, but now they have decided to expand the number of slot machines that they are going to offer as well.

Their original plan called for 3,000 slot machines, but now they want more than that amount. They are now looking at adding 4,200 slot machines to the 350,000 square foot casino. They are also making other changes.

There will now be a bowling alley on the bottom floor of the slot machine parlor, as well as a new parking garage where the hotel was going to be. The casino is planning on all of their changes being done in roughly one year, with a spring 2009 opening.

Once the casino is opened, there are to be about 750 permanent jobs. This does not include all of the jobs that are being created for the construction of the slot machine parlor. Locals are excited about the boon this will be for the local economy, especially since it will cost roughly $155 million to complete.

The slot machine casino will be located just south of Pittsburgh, and has already gotten permission to expand the casino by 40% over where they had originally decided to expand. With the addition of more slot machines, they are bound to make back their investment in no time.
