Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Pennsylvania*

The minimum legal gambling age in Pennsylvania depends upon the gambling activity:

• Land-Based Casinos: 21
• Poker Rooms: 21
• Bingo: 18
• Lottery: 18
• Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

The Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act passed in 2004, legalizing slot machines at fourteen locations beginning in 2006. Of these, to date, one standalone casino and one racetrack racino have yet to open.

Since July 2010, casinos in Pennsylvania can operate table games. In October 2017, the state legislature legalized casino gambling at truck stops, airports, and online. The bill also authorized ten new satellite casinos with some location restrictions.

Casino operators may operate a gambling parlor at any of Pennsylvania’s international and regional airports, assuming successful agreements with the airport authority. No airport gaming parlors or satellite casinos have yet to open.

Satellite casinos of existing casino operators must be within 25 miles of their existing Pennsylvania casino. Further, local municipalities may prohibit such a casino. These satellite casino licenses allow up to 750 slot machines and 50 table games.

The racinos and standalone casinos can have up to 5,000 slot machines and 250 table games, while casino resorts can have up to 600 slot machines and 50 table games. Truck stops approved by their county may have up to 5 slot machines.

To gamble within either casino resort, players must be a guest of that casino resort. Put another way, the gaming floors within the casino resorts are not open to the public.

*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws apply to various forms of gambling. This information is not intended to provide legal advice.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in Pennsylvania

It is legal to privately own a slot machine in the state of Pennsylvania if it is 25 years old or older.

Gaming Control Board in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) is the state gaming commission. The PGCB is responsible for overseeing slot machines and casino gambling in the state. Two other state gaming commissions are responsible for the state lottery and charitable gaming.

Casinos in Pennsylvania

There are two casino resorts, four standalone casinos, and six racetrack racinos in Pennsylvania.

The largest casino in Pennsylvania is Parx Casino and Racing having 3,300 gaming machines and 180 table games.

The second largest casino is Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem having 3,000 gaming machines and 200 table games.

List of Casinos in Pennsylvania

The two casino resorts in Pennsylvania are:

1. Lady Luck Nemacolin in Farmington located 69 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
2. Valley Forge Convention Center Casino in King of Prussia located 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

The four standalone casinos in Pennsylvania are:

1. Mount Airy Resort & Casino in Mount Pocono located 31 miles southeast of Scranton.
2. Rivers Casino in downtown Pittsburgh.

List of Tribal Casinos in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has no federally-recognized American Indian tribes. During the 1700s, colonial expansion displaced the six original tribes of Pennsylvania. Only the Eastern Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania remains.

American Indian tribes once native to Pennsylvania ended up on tribal reservations in Oklahoma. Therefore, Pennsylvania has no tribal casinos.

Other Gambling Establishments

As an alternative to enjoying Pennsylvania slot machine casino gambling, consider exploring casino options in a nearby state. Pennsylvania is bordered by:

• North: New York Slots and Lake Erie
• East: New Jersey Slots
• South: Delaware Slots, Maryland Slots, and West Virginia Slots
• West: Ohio Slots

Each of the links above will take you to my state-specific blog for that neighboring state to Pennsylvania.

Payout Returns in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law requires gaming machines to return a minimum payout of 85% per state statute section 461a.7 on slot machine minimum design standards. Further, it states a maximum payout return limit which may not equal or exceed 100%. Both legal restrictions apply to any single play.

Monthly payout return statistics are publicly available for each gaming facility, although the player win% comes from dividing payouts by wagers.

For March 2019, the payout returns for slots only, from highest to lowest, are:

1. Valley Forge: 90.83%
2. Parx: 90.58%
3. Mount Airy: 90.32%

Wind Creek Bethlehem plans $90M second hotel

Wind Creek has submitted building plans to the City of Bethlehem for a second hotel located next to the existing hotel. The new 12-story, 270-room hotel will cost $90 million and include a spa, bar, ballroom and meeting space.

The new hotel will include 362,000 total square feet with 270 guest rooms on the upper floors and 35,200 square feet of new meeting space. It also includes a 6,400-square-foot pool, an outdoor patio and an 11,600-square-foot spa. The hotel will wrap around the Wind Creek Event Center.

Construction is expected to start this spring and take 14 months to complete.

Wind Creek Bethlehem Goal: 'No. 1 Resort Destination in the Northeast'

May 27, 2019

The $1.3 billion sale of Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem to Alabama's Poarch Band of Creek Indians can now proceed with this week's approval by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The Board also approve licenses for the tribe and its gaming executives. The casino will be managed by Wind Creek Hospitality, the gaming and hospitality operation for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.

Wind Creek President and CEO Jay Dorris said: 'Our expectation for this property is it will be the No. 1 resort destination in the Northeast.'

Two major projects are planned to achieve this:

$90M HOTEL EXPANSION
Wind Creek will build a 276-room hotel and add 42,000 square feet of meeting space. This will add to the property's current 282-room hotel and 27,000 square feet of meeting space. Construction is expected to last 2 years.

$250M ADVENTURE AND WATER PARK
This project will transform the No. 2 Machine Shop of the old Bethlehem Steel factory into a 300,000 square foot water park and 400-room hotel.

These property enhancements are estimated to add 1.4 million visitors to the current 9 million visitors per year.

Sands Casino is renamed Wind Creek Casino and Resort

March 18, 2019

As the sale of Sands Bethlehem to Alabama's Poarch Band of Creek Indians is in the final stage of approval by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the new name of the casino was unveiled this week when the sign on the ore crane was changed to Wind Creek Casino and Resort.

Approval to change the sign was approved by the Bethlehem Planning Commission last week following a presentation by Wind Creek Hospitality. Wind Creek Hospitality is the gaming and hotel operation of the Alabama tribe.

The board approved changing all signs to the new name. The Outlets at Sands Bethlehem will be renamed The Outlets after the sale is finalized.

When the sale is finalized, Wind Creek Hospitality plans to break ground on a second hotel as part of a $190 million expansion of the property. They are also considering building an indoor water park.

Sands Bethlehem Bethlehem is sold to Alabama Tribe

March 08, 2018

On Thursday an announcement was made that the Sands Bethlehem Bethlehem is being bought by Wind Creek Hospitality. The company is owned by the Alabama based Poarch Band of Creek Indians.

$1.3 billion is being spent to purchase the property.

The tribe is made up of 3,000 members. They currently have casino locations in the northwestern section of Florida. Another location is in the southern area of Alabama. The casinos are considered smaller in size. They do operate with a Class II gaming license. This means they can operate pull tab based games, as well as bingo. Gaming regulators in Alabama will not allow for the operation of slot machines. Wind Creek has expressed interested in being able to operate slot machines.

The Sands Bethlehem will be nearly three times larger than the other facilities. Plus the tribe will be allowed to offer slot machine gaming.

A deal was made in 2016 to purchase the Margaritaville Resort Casino located in Louisiana. However, agreements on licensing of the name cause the deal to fall through.

The tribe also purchased 35 acres of land in Mississippi in 2016. Plans were announced last year for a new Wind Creek Casino location.

When the tribe bought the Sands Bethlehem questions were raised about possible other casino purchases in the future.

The gaming industry is not the only business that the tribe has invested in. OWA is an entertainment amusement park that was opened last year. It cost $260 million and is located in Foley, Alabama.
