SugarHouse Casino officials will again ask the Pennsylvania
Gaming Control Board to approve a temporary poker room at the state agency's
monthly meeting Wednesday.
The poker room, which would contain between 24 and 27 tables
according to previously heard plans, would stand in as a temporary addition to
the gaming hall on Delaware Avenue while SugarHouse builds out its permanent
$155 million expansion.
The gaming board will first hold a public hearing on
SugarHouse's poker room proposal at the beginning of the meeting, a PGCB
spokesman said. Depending on the outcome of the hearing, the board may then
vote on the proposal.
In January, SugarHouse first brought their proposal for the
poker room before the state board, which declined at that time to vote,
requesting more information on the eventual permanent expansion plan.
The 10 a.m. hearing will be livestreamed
through the gaming board's website.
