The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board on Wednesday gave
Endeka Entertainment L.P., a partnership of mostly Philadelphia-area investors,
until November 20 to secure financing for Endeka's proposed $225 million casino
in Lawrence County.
But the gaming board is keeping Endeka on a tight leash,
requiring new partners Joseph G. Procacci and Merit Management Group to submit
their applications by June 1 and giving other partners until June 15 to submit
previously requested information.
"We look forward to working with our new partner,
the Procacci group, and we appreciate the board's willingness to allow
additional time to finalize details," Endeka attorney James Doherty III
said.
Procacci, who lost his bid to win Philadelphia's second casino
license, has replaced Penn National Gaming Inc. as the general partner in
Lawrence Downs Casino and Racing Resort, which is proposed for Mahoning
Township, north of Pittsburgh.
