A hearing for SC Gaming OpCo’s category 4 license application is scheduled to open the board’s meeting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Later in the agenda, the board will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not to approve the license for SC Gaming, which is owned by investor and former Penn State Trustee Ira Lubert.

It will likely be the board’s final hearing on the license application, unless it decides it needs additional information, PGCB spokesperson Doug Harbach said.
