El casino de 35 millones de dólares tardará casi 12 meses en terminarse.
La Junta de Control de Juegos de Pensilvania (PGCB) aprobó recientemente a SC Gaming OpCo, LLC para obtener una licencia de máquinas tragaperras de categoría 4. La junta aprobó la decisión por unanimidad.

La nueva licencia permitirá a SC Gaming OpCo construir un nuevo casino en College Township, en el condado de Centre, cerca de Penn State.

La compañía solicitó la licencia por primera vez en septiembre de 2020, cuando el propietario de un negocio local, Ira Lubert, "se aseguró el derecho a ubicar un nuevo casino", dijo la junta. Lubert ganó la oferta durante una subasta de categoría 4 el mismo día por poco más de 10 millones de dólares.

La licencia recientemente aprobada permite al casino operar entre 300 y 750 máquinas tragamonedas. La PGCB dijo que "el propietario del casino también podría solicitar permiso para operar 30 juegos de mesa por una tarifa adicional de 2,5 millones de dólares. "

El nuevo casino podría tardar hasta un año en completarse una vez que comience la construcción, con un coste estimado de 35 millones de dólares. Según SC Gaming, la empresa no ha fijado una posible fecha de apertura.

Una vez terminado, Bally's Corporation gestionará el casino y ofrecerá a sus huéspedes 30 juegos de mesa, 750 máquinas tragaperras, un sitio minorista de apuestas deportivas, un escenario con música y eventos en directo, así como varias opciones de comida y bebida de servicio rápido.

En otras noticias de Bally, la compañía firmó recientemente un acuerdo con los Atléticos de Oakland para construir un nuevo estadio de béisbol en Nevada.

El estadio estará ubicado en las instalaciones de Tropicana en Las Vegas, en el extremo sur del Strip de Las Vegas. El estadio terminado tendrá capacidad para entre 30 000 y 35 000 aficionados.
