In the US, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is to hold a special meeting on November 18 to consider bids for a new casino licence in the state.

Four applications are under consideration for the licence, which is permitted under the state’s Race Horse Development and Gaming Act.

These are Tower Entertainment, Market East Associates, PHL Local Gaming and Stadium Casino.

The licence will allow the successful applicant to develop a casino with up to 5,000 slot machines and 250 table games.
