Pennsylvania’s Gaming Control Board unanimously approved the Valley Forge Casino Resort access plan. The Board voted 7-0 to approve the plan that is key to the venue actually being allowed to open. It sets out who’s allowed in the casino, which is the following:
- Daily visitors to the Valley Forge Convention Centre that spend $10 at any restaurant, bar, retail outlet or other amenity.
- Attendees of meetings, conventions, banquets, conferences, weddings or other events continuing for 24 hours after the event.
- Registered overnight guests
- Those holding a dining or entertainment membership
It’s the first of two casinos to be built that requires an action plan and enters a state that has a very strong casino business market right now. Upon the approval, Doug Harbach, Gaming Control Board spokesman, said: “In addition to finalizing the access plan, board staff is working with Valley Forge Casino in other key areas, with a goal of opening Pennsylvania’s first casino in the Category 3 resort classification.”
