Action Alert – Has Your Municipality Voted to Prohibit Mini-Casinos?
Time is very short for your municipality’s elected officials to take action to prohibit mini-casinos from being established within its borders. These so-called mini-casinos can house between 300 and 750 slot machines and up to 40 table games! This would be bad news for any municipality and the state allows local elected officials to opt out, but they need to act NOW!

Action Alert – Act Quickly to Keep Gambling out of Your Backyard!
The end of October saw the biggest gambling expansion in Pennsylvania signed into law. The expansion makes Pennsylvania the Nevada of the east and will only create more problems down the road! We now have online gambling, gambling at airports, video gaming terminals at truck stops, mini casinos , etc. etc. However, the law does allow local municipalities to opt out of allowing mini-casinos and certain counties can opt out VGTs in truck stops. But they only have until the end of the year to pass resolutions and get them to Harrisburg!
