An amendment in July 2010 permitted the introduction of table games, with a cap of 50 in casino resorts and up to 250 elsewhere.
This act also led to the creation of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) which regulates the state’s gambling industry today. The resorts were granted up to 600 slots each, with as many as 5,000 at the other locations. This included five standalone casinos, with two more at holiday resorts and seven at existing horse racing venues. Starting from 2006, 14 sites would be permitted to operate slot machines legally. This was originally defined in HB2330, or the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act of 2004.
Players must be at least 21 to engage in any form of casino gaming, including slots and table games. Let’s start with the Pennsylvania casino age first.
