Foxwoods Gets a Push from PA

Pennsylvania is a mess when it comes to slot machines. The states’ residents voted to allow slot machines within their borders, and that was probably the last thing they agree upon. One of the biggest bones of contention is the Philadelphia casinos that are supposed to be coming in. Residents may have voted for the slot machine casinos to come in, but they don't like where they are going. They want them placed on the outskirts of town, but the state could not care less.
 
However, one of the casinos who is bringing slot machines is actually listening to the residents. The Foxwoods Casino, mostly known for its Connecticut counterpart, was awarded one of the slot machine licenses to bring in a casino to Philadelphia. However once they got there, they realized that residents were fairly upset with the idea of where they wanted to put them. They decided to listen to residents and look at other locations as possibilities.
 
However, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board told Foxwoods to get on it and start building a slot machine casino. As the casino has continued to explore other avenues, but board has now warned them that if they don't get those slot machines up and running soon that they are pulling their license. Foxwoods might be on the side of Philadelphia residents, but they are going to have to start building a casino if they want to keep their license.
 
The board has ordered them to have 1500 slot machines open by May 2011 and they have let them know that if they continue looking at other locations than what they have specified that they are more than willing to give that license to another company.
