Pa. casino takes delivery of table games

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — With Pennsylvania’s casino industry preparing for the arrival of table games, regulators say they’re on track for a July launch and one parlor says it has taken delivery of dozens of blackjack, craps and roulette tables.

State gaming regulators have licensed eight casinos to offer table games. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is expected to give the go-ahead to two more casinos later today.

Board spokesman Doug Harbach says nine of the 10 casinos should be ready to debut their games in July. The 10th, Sugarhouse Casino in Philadelphia, is scheduled to open in September.

Meanwhile, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs says it’s the first casino to take delivery of its tables. CEO Bobby Soper says a shipment of 30 tables arrived last week.
