Wind Creek Bethlehem has agreed to put $6 million on the table to settle a class-action lawsuit that claimed the casino failed to properly notify and pay its tipped employees under federal and state wage laws.

U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Leeson Jr. on Thursday granted preliminary approval of the settlement. The court will conduct a final approval hearing on Sept. 8 to “determine the overall fairness of the settlement” and to approve attorneys’ fees and costs.

The approval resolves a lawsuit filed March 24, 2020, by a Hellertown man who was employed as a table games dealer at the Bethlehem casino from August 2018 until October 2019.
