Senate Bill 666, sponsored by Senator Dan Laughlin, aims to remove the requirement that “Category 1” and “Category 2” casinos must operate at least 1,500 slot machines on their floor.
The bill will allow casinos to adjust their number of machines, giving them the ability to apply through the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to reduce their machine count by more than 2%.
Presque Isle Down & Casino, which has recently expressed concerns about potentially closing in part to these restrictions, was fined $50,00 in 2024 for operating fewer than the required number of machines.
Laughlin hopes that this new bill will help casinos in the commonwealth thrive.
“Competition is fierce, and rigid mandates no longer serve the industry or the public. This bill is
about common sense and keeping our casinos competitive without sacrificing oversight or
revenue,” said Laughlin. “It gives our gaming industry the flexibility it needs to succeed in today’s market while preserving accountability and protecting public interests.”
The bill will now head to the full Senate for consideration.
