Pennsylvania governor to sign video poker bill
Published:  28 September, 2009

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell plans to sign a video poker legalization bill as a fundraising measure to help erase a projected $3.25 billion shortfall. The original plan was to fund college scholarships, but economic emergencies burdening the state may change the scope. Despite being legally required to pass a budget by June 30, as of press time, Pennsylvania did not have an approved budget.

Revising the original bill from a single-provider system, the current bill will establish separate roles for operators and manufacturers. The Pennsylvania House Gaming Oversight Committee passed the bill in July, but some local press outlets say there is opposition to authorizing pokers in liquor-licensed establishments, so challenges may arise in the future.
