The renewed licence will run for a period of five years, with the PGCB having ruled that the casino fulfilled the obligations under its previously approved casino operator’s licence.
In reaching its decision, the PGCB held a public input hearing in Paradise Township, the host municipality of the casino, and also consulted with local government officials, community groups and the PA state police.
