Slot Machine Regulations Not Strict Enough

A group of residents and businessmen from Philadelphia are asking the state of Pennsylvania to hold off on the issuing of slot machine licenses for stand alone slot machine parlors. They don’t think that the guidelines and regulations that have been set up for the issuing of those slot machine licenses are clear enough, and therefore the Pennsylvania Gaming Board will have a hard time determining where those slot machine licenses should go.

It comes down to the social impact that the slot machines will have on the areas that will be receiving the stand alone slot machine casinos. They also think that the gaming board has not made an adequate effort to ask residents in the perspective slot machine casino areas, nor have they given them access to the building plans for the stand alone slot machine casinos.

They say that the issuing of the slot machines and the stand alone slot machine licenses has been a secretive affair, and that residents have not truly been allowed to give input. They were given an opportunity to review the slot machine casinos’ plans, but then the slot machine casino candidates were allowed to change their plans and residents were not given access to those new plans.
