Thursday's Inquirer reports that the Valley Forge Convention Center has been awarded "the first of two resort permits to be issued by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which intends to issue 14 of them. The resort license limits the casino to 500 slot machines." From the article: This casino will be open to guests of the convention center's two hotels and to customers who spend at least $10 at any of the other amenities at the complex, which will include restaurants and a new spa. Those conditions, different from any of the other casinos Pennsylvania has licensed to date, should provide some crowd control, local officials said. Thanks to reader Victor for the link!
