A previously delayed hearing on the proposed casino at the Nittany Mall is scheduled for next week, according to a document posted to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s website.
The board will hear arguments on a petition to intervene in developer SC Gaming OpCo’s casino license application during its meeting at 10 a.m. on Dec. 14 in Harrisburg. The meeting will be livestreamed on the PGCB website.
Cordish Companies, which operates as Stadium Casino in Pennsylvania, filed a petition to intervene in August and has separately filed a still-pending parallel lawsuit in Commonwealth Court last year arguing SC Gaming OpCo owner Ira Lubert’s winning $10 million bid in a September 2020 auction to apply for Pennsylvania’s fifth Category 4, or mini-casino, was improperly awarded.
