Slot Machines are Getting Company 

The State of Pennsylvania has one of the biggest influxes of slot machines coming in – roughly 61,000 slot machines will be gracing their casinos when they are all up and running. However, it appears that slot machines were not enough for the state, and they quickly moved forward to bring in table games as an expansion of the gambling that the slot machines gave them. The casinos waited with baited breath to see if the measure would pass, and as it did, they were quick to see if they could get their slot machines a little bit of company. 

The Rivers Casino is one of the first to jump on the idea. The casino has put forth their application for table games, and would like to bring in 86 of them to join the slot machines that they already have. The Pennsylvania State Gaming Board has their proposal for review and consideration, and will be letting them know if they have been approved or not. The casino said that they will be able to hire many more people than they have now, as the table games will take dealers, managers, supervisors, etc. to run – in addition to the personnel they currently have for their slot machines. 

They already have more than a thousand employees, but they are looking to hire roughly another 500 in order to support the games. Needless to say, residents that live near the casino hope that they get the table games as they would love for there to be more jobs available to them.
