Mohegan Sun Getting Table Games 

The state of Pennsylvania has made it very clear that they want to see table games legalized, and spread across the state. Now that they have accomplished the first part of that – the legalization – they want to make sure that everyone gets their chance to bring in even more money for the state. The various casinos have already started requesting them, so it should really only be a matter of time before it is official.  

They know that they are going to make millions off of the slot machines, and the table games only increase that amount exponentially. This is good news for the casinos as well as they know that they are making more money as well. The Mohegan Sun had already filled out their paperwork to get table games added to their slot machines, and now the state had approved them. 

The Gaming Control Board had given them permission to move forward on their table games, if they meet the conditions that they set forth for them to have them. They have to still follow the same protocols as far as their internal controls go, and they have to satisfy any and all board regulations that might come with having the table games. In addition, they have to pay the licensing fee of $16.5 million for the ability to have them. They have until June 1^st to pay it.  

The state has started dealer school for 350 potential employees and the casino has already started construction on the area that they will go in.
