美国 - 科迪什体育场赌场赢得在费城建造第二家赌场的竞赛
By 菲尔 -25年2018月XNUMX日
Stadium Casino will construct a second, ‘mini casino’ in Philadelphia, having been the highest of four bidders with a bid of over $40m.
Stadium Casino is a joint venture between the Cordish Companies and Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, which currently operates the Parx Casino in Bucks County.
4 类老虎机许可证将允许该实体运营 300 至 750 台老虎机。该实体还可以申请许可，首先支付 30 万美元的额外费用运营最多 2.5 个赌桌游戏，并可以在运营第一年之后再增加 10 个赌桌游戏。
Stadium Casino is the same operator behind the plan to build the $600m Live! Hotel & Casino Philadelphia, pictured, which will open in 2020 in the stadium district of South Philadelphia. With a Category 2 license, it will house a much bigger quota of 2,000 slot machines and 125 table games.
This was the second in a series of auctions held by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board in a process that establishes the order in which the winning bidders select a location for a Category 4 casino.
The center of the Category 4 location, which is an area 30 miles in diameter, chosen by Stadium Casino, is located in Derry Township in Westmoreland County.
Travis Lamb, Chief Financial Officer of Cordish explained that the mini-casino would be close to Greensburg due to its proximity to the Pittsburgh market.
He said: “We look at this as a great opportunity for Stadium Casino to grow in the state of Pennsylvania.
Mr Lamb added that the company saw no problems in developing two casinos at the same time in the same state.
Stadium Casino is required to pay the bid price to the Commonwealth within two business days, and then has up to six months to submit an application for the Category 4 Slot Machine License.
该申请将包含拟议的第 4 类赌场的精确地点，以及有关拟议建筑规划、便利设施、就业预测和其他相关信息的详细计划和信息。一旦收到申请并确定申请已完成，董事会将在其网站上发布有关该项目的公开信息，以供感兴趣的人查看。
In the first auction held on January 10, 2018, Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association, LLC, which operates Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, was the high bidder with a bid of over $50m. The center of that Category 4 location is located in the Borough of Yoe in York County.
Both Mountainview Thoroughbred Racing Association and Stadium Casino, LLC are ineligible to bid on additional Category 4 locations during the initial round of auctions. The Gaming Control Board could hold a subsequent round if all 10 available licenses are not auctioned off. If that occurs, successful bidders in the initial round could compete for additional Category 4 casino locations.
