This past Wednesday the Pennsylvania Gaming Board approved table games for three of the states casinos. The board has been holding public hearings in several counties of the state to see how people feel about adding table games and the people have spoken. Now craps, blackjack and roulette will be some of the table games added to the casinos. Two casinos have already been approved for the table games and this week the board approved the Sands Resort Bethlehem, Mount Airy Casino Resort and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course for table games.
"By the end of this year, Pennsylvania casinos should be well on their way to surpassing New Jersey casinos as the top gaming destinations in the Northeast," said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. "Table games will be key to putting the Pennsylvania casinos over the top.”
This has been a long process for the state to begin adding the table games such as craps and blackjack. But now the state is well on its way to contending with neighboring states which offer the games. Residents of the states will now be able to travel short distances to enjoy the games that other states are offering.
