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 board employees to approve requests to reduce the number of slot machines, provided the reduction does not exceed 2% of the facility's total machines and does not drop below a minimum of 1,500 machines for most casinos or 250 for smaller Category 3 facilities. Additionally, the bill sets a requirement for new casinos to operate at least 1,500 slot machines within one year of receiving their license, with options for extensions under certain conditions. These changes directly affect casino operators and the state's gaming regulatory board by establishing clearer rules for maintaining and adjusting slot machine inventory.
