Slots News Pennsylvania slots bill hits another snag
October 11
On the long and winding road to slots approval in the state of Pennsylvania it seems there is another red light. In efforts to get slots approval in order to lower school property taxes has hit another snag.State Gaming Control Board members are at loggerheads over how to license slot-machine suppliers. Until they reach consensus, the sole beneficiaries from Pennsylvanians' slots play will continue to be neighboring states where the games are legal. Pennsylvania's Gov. Rendell is seriously counting on seeing $1 billion in tax revenue from 14 casinos in order to reduce residents' school property taxes by an average of about $340 statewide. Each casino must first get a license from the state gaming board.The state slots law, enacted in July 2004, requires casino operators to obtain their games from in-state suppliers. But the law prohibits the board from issuing casino licenses until 90 days after it licenses game manufacturers and suppliers. It hasn't even started the process of taking applications from would-be suppliers.
