United States Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Pennsylvania's gaming industry includes casinos, pari-mutuel wagering on horse races, racinos, charitable gaming, and a state lottery. In July 2004, Governor Ed Rendell signed a bill legalizing the placement of slot machines at racetracks and authorizing the development of slot parlors throughout the state. The bill was passed to bolster the racing industry and help the state raise additional money to cut property taxes and fund economic development. In January 200, the state legalized table games in Pennsylvania's gaming establishments, paving the way for full casinos. Properties began offering table games in July 200. In November 2006, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs was the first racino to open in Pennsylvania. In 202, Pennsylvania attempted to privatize its state-run lottery. Camelot Global Services, which also runs the British lottery, looked poised to take the reins with an offer of $34 billion over the course of 20 years. However, in late 203, Governor Tom Corbett dropped the privatization plan due to strong opposition from voters.

The law also established the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) to oversee all aspects of the state's casino industry. In 200, Pennsylvania expanded into table games. Racetracks and standalone casinos were allowed 250 gaming tables for a fee of $6.5 million. Resorts (Category 3 licensees) were allowed 50 gaming tables for a licensing fee of $7.5 million. A 6% tax was imposed in the first year, and dropped to 4% in subsequent years. Table game operators were required to pay 2% of their gross table game revenue to their local community. Pennsylvania taxes slot revenue at 54%. In 2006, the state moved to limit the impact of casino money on politics. In November 2006, it approved a measure that prohibited politicians and their families from having any financial interest in casinos and prohibited state gaming regulators from taking any role in political campaigns. The measure also prohibited political contributions from gambling companies and from some individuals in the gaming industry. In 2007, Peter DePaul sued to overturn the measure, contending it violated his freedom of expression. DePaul was one of the investors behind the Foxwoods Casino project in Philadelphia. In April 2009, the state Supreme Court handed DePaul a temporary victory. It ruled that the measure was unconstitutional based on inconsistencies in state law. The state legislature corrected the inconsistencies, and the ban on political contributions is still in place. In November 2006, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs became the first casino to open in Pennsylvania. For the most part, the casino development process in Pennsylvania has been smooth and drama free. The exception to that rule has been the Philadelphia licenses. Casino City's North American Gaming Almanac 53
Penssylvania United States Philadelphia Entertainment & Development Partners was awarded a Category 2 license in 2006, and originally planned to open a Foxwoods-branded casino in Philadelphia. That casino was never built, however. On December 6, 200, the PGCB voted 6- to revoke the Foxwoods Casino project's $50 million license. The vote followed numerous problems with the project, including difficulty settling on a location, opposition from local organizations, and financing problems. The revocation decision was upheld by the courts in 202. SugarHouse was awarded its gaming license in December 2006. Like the Foxwoods Casino proposal, the SugarHouse Casino faced significant community and political opposition, as well as litigation. Despite the political and civic delays, SugarHouse Casino opened in September 200. A second Philadelphia license was issued in November 204 to Live! Hotel and Casino. The Live! group is a partnership between Cordish, which owns and operates Maryland Live!, and Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, which owns the Parx Casino just outside of Philadelphia. In September 2008, a statewide smoking ban in all public indoor facilities went into effect. An exception was made for some bars, private clubs, and casinos. In December 2008, it was reported that slots in smoking sections of Pennsylvania casinos performed better by 60-20%. Under state law, half of Pennsylvania's slot machine casinos are prohibited from serving free alcoholic drinks. The other half may offer one free drink a day. In November 203, Gov. Tom Corbett signed into law legislation that allows bars, restaurants, and taverns to offer daily drawings, raffles, and pull-tab games. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, owned by the Mohegan Tribe, operates under a commercial license subject to the same rules and regulations as similar racinos in the state. As a result, Casino City does not consider Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs to be a tribal gaming property.

The following March, the lottery debuted with weekly drawings of 50-cent tickets and a grand prize of $ million. The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that exclusively designates its proceeds to benefit older citizens. Proceeds originally helped the elderly with property tax relief. Since then, however, the scope has expanded to funding a host of services for seniors, including rent rebates, free and reduced-fare transit, low-cost prescription drug programs, long-term living services, and statewide senior centers. Initially, the Pennsylvania Lottery was mandated to contribute 30 cents of each dollar earned to businesses across Pennsylvania and 40 cents to players in the form of prize money. In 2008, the legislature passed Act 53, which granted the Pennsylvania Lottery relief from the 30% minimum return. The Lottery was given the latitude to return a minimum of 27%, with the understanding that it would help the Lottery grow sales and net revenues. In 202, Pennsylvania decided to privatize its lottery and requested bids from organizations globally. In early 203, Camelot Global Services was selected to manage the Pennsylvania lottery. The UK company had been the sole bidder in 202. The bid deadline was extended more than a week to allow lottery employees to present a competing bid, which was not accepted. Camelot would have paid $34 billion over 20 years to the Pennsylvania state government to operate the lottery. But in late 203, Gov. Tom Corbett dropped the plan in the face of intense political pressure and strong opposition from voters.

It also allows offtrack betting. The Pennsylvania State Horse and State Harness Racing Commissions (PA Racing), both part of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, regulate the horse racing industry with a common mission. There are six horse racing tracks in operation within the state: Harrah's Philadelphia, Penn National, The Meadows, Parx Racing, Pocono Downs, and Presque Isle Downs. Pennsylvania's horse racing industry experienced a revenue surge after the 2004 Race Horse Development and Gaming Act authorized the construction of racinos. The Act established the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development Fund (PRHDF) to help the viability and quality of horse racing in Pennsylvania. Under the 2004 casino law, the PRHDF receives 2% of slot revenue from racetrack casinos and 6% from non-track casinos in Pennsylvania. Through 2009, the PRHDF distributed money to racetrack owners hosting live horse racing (to augment live horse racing purses), Thoroughbred breeding, Standardbred breeding, the Sires' Stakes Program, and health insurance and pension benefits for horsemen. In 200, it also began directing money to the state's general fund to make up budgetary shortfalls. In 202, PRHDF began distributing funds directed to the Farm Products Show Fund. In 203, more money was taken from the fund for agricultural programs. In 204, another $4.2 million from the PRHDF was redirected to the State Racing Fund. In January 2008, Governor Edward G. Rendell consolidated the administrative offices for Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing. The reorganization allowed for a single point of contact for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board with respect to licensing and enforcement. PA Racing remained as two separate commissions under Agriculture.

Since first bringing casino gaming to the state last decade, Pennsylvania has consistently expanded gaming within the state. The state started with slot machines, then added table games, and then authorized its bars and taverns to offer limited forms of gaming. Each step was deemed necessary, either to protect the nascent industry or to expand revenue coming into the state. State lawmakers have shown a similar pragmatic approach to online gaming. In April 203, House Bill 235 was introduced by Rep. Tina Davis to legalize online gambling in Pennsylvania. The legislation called for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to regulate the licensing, operation, and responsible participation of Internet gambling. The bill also called for the proceeds from the licensing and operation of Internet gaming in the state of Pennsylvania to be split between the Property Tax Relief Fund and the State Lottery Fund. Applicants for Internet gambling licenses in Pennsylvania would be limited to entities that hold an existing slot-machine license in the state. Included in the measure were online poker, other non-house-banked games, and traditional casino table games. The bill, however, didn't go anywhere. In June 203, Rep. Tina Pickett, the chair of the Gaming Oversight Committee, voiced concern about bringing online gambling to Pennsylvania. Pickett said she was worried both by how online gaming could impact brick-and-mortar casinos and the possibility of bringing more gambling to the state. The legislation wasn't taken up, but the Senate did request a study on Internet gaming. The findings of the study were made public in spring 204. Among the findings: People who gamble online are typically people who don't visit casinos, and they wager much smaller amounts than people who visit casinos. These findings are critical because the chief objection to online gaming has been that it might cannibalize the land-based casino industry. In June 204, Sen. Edwin Erickson introduced legislation to license and regulate online gaming in the state. The bill would have licensed all forms of online gaming, but it failed to make it out of committee. In February 205, Rep. John Payne introduced legislation that would give the state the authority to license and regulate online gaming. The proposed tax rate in Payne's bill is 4%. As of press time, no action had been taken on Payne's bill. The Parx Casino began dabbling in online gaming when it launched a play-for-fun site in summer of 204 using WMS software. It also has a separate deal with GameAccount to run a "simulated" gaming website. Charitable Gaming Pennsylvania allows eligible charitable organizations to conduct bingo and offer punchboards, daily drawings, raffles, and pull-tabs. Slot machines, table games, and video poker are excluded from charitable gaming activities. With limited exceptions, the "prize for a single chance in any game may not exceed $2,000" according to a guidance document published by the state's Department of Revenue.
