A timeline recently posted by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board suggests it will be November or later before it rules on a pending license for a mini-casino near State College.
A hearing officer’s scheduling order, dated July 12, notes that any party petitioning to intervene in the license application from Philadelphia investor Ira Lubert, whose company operates as SC Gaming OpCo LLC, has until Aug. 26 to do so.
“Tentatively, the Board will hear arguments on any Petitions for Intervention at its October 19, 2022, meeting,” the order states.
The board would still have to hold another public hearing and take a licensing vote subsequent to those arguments, which would likely postpone any final decision on Lubert’s license until Nov. 16 or later.
