Bill > SB840

This bill modifies regulations related to slot machines in Pennsylvania by reducing the minimum number of slot machines required at Category 1 and Category 2 licensed facilities from 1,500 to 1,000, while maintaining the 250 slot machine minimum for Category 3 facilities. The bill allows the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board's employees to approve decreases in the number of slot machines at a licensed facility, with a limitation that such decreases cannot exceed 2% of the total number of slot machines in operation. Additionally, the bill provides flexibility for slot machine licensees by allowing the board to grant extensions for meeting the minimum machine requirements, with extensions potentially lasting up to 36 months from the initial one-year period or until December 31, 2012. The changes aim to provide more operational flexibility for gaming facilities while maintaining a baseline number of slot machines. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
