An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, further providing for regulatory authority of board and for number of slot machines.
This bill amends Pennsylvania laws to clarify the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's authority over slot machine counts at licensed casinos. It specifically allows a board employee to approve requests to reduce the number of slot machines, provided the reduction does not exceed 2% of the facility's total machines. The legislation also updates the minimum number of slot machines required to be operational, setting the floor at 1,500 for Category 1 and 2 facilities and 250 for Category 3 facilities. These changes directly affect casino operators and the state's gaming regulatory body by defining the limits for adjusting gaming equipment.
