While Pennsylvania’s Casino and Gaming industry continues to generate strong revenue, the expansion of Casino and Gaming events in neighboring states means that the Commonwealth cannot afford to be complacent with respect to this vital Gaming industry. Important issues concerning Casino and Gaming industry are at hand in Harrisburg. In this session, regulators, state officials and legislators discuss such matters as the privatization of the Pennsylvania Lottery, the response to neighboring competition, public policy, new technology, small games of chance, video poker and others subjects of timely importance.

Fueled by strong performances in the east, Pennsylvania has surpassed the state of New Jersey to become the second highest grossing Casino and Gaming state, trailing only Nevada. With the processes underway to award the final Casino and Gaming licenses, how will Pennsylvania continue to grow its Gaming industry that has become so vital to the Commonwealth? Do non-gaming amenities and hotels make sense? Can Pennsylvania operators weather the increasing competition from all neighboring states? Is regulatory change needed? Join Pennsylvania Casino and Gaming operators as they provide a critical outlook for the Casino and Gaming industry.

The competition for the second Casino license in Philadelphia is compelling, with six applicants vying for one of the great urban Casino and Gaming opportunities in the US. The proposals are as varied as the applicants themselves, and the ultimate location could impact visitation patterns in the state. In addition to convincing the Pennsylvania Casino and Gaming Control Board, the applicants are trying to win in the court of public opinion. In this session, each of the six applicants is invited to give a 15 minute presentation of why their proposed Casino is best for Pennsylvania and Philadelphia.
