Mohegan Pennsylvania, the first of the Keystone State’s 17 casinos, has a request pending with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board: Please let us reduce our number of slot machines.
In a submission filed in May and likely to be approved in coming months, the mid-sized casino near Wilkes-Barre states that shedding 120 machines to a count of 1,550 is designed “to more accurately reflect demand, for ease of access around the gaming floor, and to enhance patrons’ comfort, health and safety.”
Mohegan Pennsylvania is by no means alone in Pennsylvania. The gaming board just last week approved two requests from smaller casinos that will result in a combined net loss of 49 machines.
