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.

SB 840 amends Pennsylvania's gaming laws to reduce the minimum number of slot machines required at licensed casinos. It lowers the mandatory minimum from 1,500 to 1,000 machines for Category 1 and 2 facilities (and keeps Category 3 at 250), while allowing facilities to request reductions of up to 2% of their total machines. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board must approve any decrease exceeding this 2% threshold. The bill directly affects all casino operators holding slot machine licenses, changing their operational requirements under state law. It takes effect 60 days after enactment.
