lotteryA new Pennsylvania bill allows gamblers more than one free drink while they are playing slots. Governor Rendell, who signed the bill says:”Virtually every gaming operation around the world has this amenity, but there are rules and regulations that control it and limit it.”

Then he went on about the possibility of him signing bills to extend gambling licenses for table games. “We have to make sure that over time, the expansion of gaming is successful, it works well, and whatever negative sides there are to it, that we control them. Until we’ve had a significant test period to see that in operation, I don’t think any of these bills should be considered and I wouldn’t sign them”.

No other state so far has passed a slots law and a table games law separately - Pennsylvania would be the first. The state appears to be basing many of its decisions with the emphasis on competing with surrounding state casinos. Well we have said time and time again how the traditional gambling industry in USA is booming after the UIGEA.
