Pennsylvania regulator to hold public hearing on Hollywood Casino York licence renewal
The meeting will be held on October 30.
US.- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) will hold a public hearing on October 30 on the renewal of the Category 4 Slot Machine Operator Licence for Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association, operator of Hollywood Casino York. The hearing will be held at the Springettsbury Twp. Municipal Building.
Citizens, public officials and community groups can register to speak or submit written testimony by October 28. Those who register to speak will be posted on the board’s website.
Under the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act, all licences are subject to periodic renewal. The process involves two steps: a public input hearing in the municipality where the casino operates before the director of the board’s Office of Hearings and Appeals to receive documentary evidence and a separate public hearing in Harrisburg where representatives of the casino licensee offer evidence and oral arguments. At that time, the board members can ask additional questions.
