The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 to gather evidence, including public comment, on the renewal of the Category 1 Slot Machine Operator’s license for Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc., operator of the Parx Casino in Bucks County.

The hearing will begin at 10:00 a.m. in Council Chambers at the Bensalem Township Municipal Building, 2400 Byberry Road in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.

Complete information on the hearing, including links to sign up to present oral comment at the hearing or to provide written comment prior to the hearing, is on the Board’s web site, www.gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov, under its Quick Links section of the home page. The deadline for registration to speak at this hearing is noon on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.

Written comments can be mailed, with a postmark no later than Tuesday, February 19^th to:

PA Gaming Control Board 
P.O. Box 69060
Harrisburg, PA 17106
Attention: Board Clerk

Comments can also be faxed prior to that deadline to 717-265-7416 or e-mailed to boardclerk@pa.gov.

Pursuant to section 1326 of the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act, all licenses shall be subject to renewal every five years.  The renewal application must include an update of the information since its last renewal.

To implement the renewal requirement, the Board utilizes a two-step process:

• First, the February 20^th public hearing will be held before the Director of the PGCB’s Office of Hearings and Appeals for the purpose of receiving documentary evidence, hearing testimony and building a record upon which the Board will base its licensing decision.  The hearing record, along with a report from the Director of Hearings and Appeals, will be transmitted to the Board.
• The second step is to hold a separate public hearing in Harrisburg at a later date where Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, Inc. representatives will offer oral arguments and Board members can ask additional questions.

At the renewal hearing, the burden is on the renewal applicant to establish and demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, its eligibility and suitability for renewal of the gaming license last renewed in November 2014.  During the hearings, the renewal applicant will be given the opportunity to demonstrate, among other things, its good character, honesty, and integrity; compliance with its statement of conditions; tax revenue generated; jobs created; amenities added since the last renewal; success in implementing its diversity plan; and involvement in the surrounding communities.

Following these proceedings, the Board will then be able to determine whether the licensee remains eligible and suitable consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth and are otherwise qualified to have the license renewed for a five-year period.

All questions that are not press-related should be referred to the PGCB’s Office of Hearings and Appeals at (717) 265-7451.

About the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board:

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is tasked to oversee all aspects of the state’s casino industry, along with oversight of new gaming initiatives created through amendments to the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act recently approved by the signing of Act 42 of 2017. To date, the PGCB regulates the play within the Commonwealth of Fantasy Sports Contests along with four casino operators offering Sports Wagering. Additional new gaming initiatives are expected to launch in the coming months.

The Commonwealth’s casino industry currently consists of 10 stand-alone and racetrack casinos in operation, along with the two smaller resort casinos.  These facilities collectively employ 17,000 people and annually generate approximately $1.4 billion in tax revenue from slot machine and table games play. The largest portion of that money is used for property tax reduction to Pennsylvania homeowners.

Additional information about both the PGCB’s gaming regulatory efforts and Pennsylvania’s gaming industry can be found at gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov. You can also follow the agency on Twitter by choosing @PAGamingControl.

Spinola Gaming, the leading Malta-based lottery content provider, has continued its far-reaching development programme with the launch of the Spinola Instant Game Engine, an initiative which offers players the chance to win up to €50m per draw.  The Instant Game Engine delivers enhanced levels of flexibility in order to help operators build their own bespoke Instant Win Lottery Games and in the process retain and recruit players more effectively.

Expanding on its groundbreaking applications, Owen Formosa, Chief Technical Officer at Spinola Gaming said: “Operators now have the ability to create their very own Jackpot Games utilizing Spinola’s leading lottery software (Lotto Connex) and jackpot coverage.  It’s a risk free solution that can assist operators in creating unique promotions and campaigns to engage and retain their players in a whole new way.”

Spinola believe that a growing number of operators are using the lottery experience as part of their customer engagement programme.  “The gambling market can be characterised by an absence of brand loyalty which means that operators are reliant on promotions to attract traffic which in turn cuts into profit margins,” stated Formosa.

“The existing business models of Bonus and Free money Offers is so commonplace now that it has become harder for operators to be different or unique and more operators are now looking to Lotteries and Instant Games as a unique marketing tool in order to attract and retain players.

“It’s a much smarter approach and one that can also help to broaden the customer base due to the sheer size of the lottery market space outside of a traditional Casino player.  The Instant Game Engine provides everything that an operator needs to provide a targeted offering to players across the board.”

The Spinola Gaming model is based on a fully insured, risk free solution in which the company provides all of the tools and all of the insight necessary to make the offering work to maximum effect. Developed over the last two and a half years Spinola has created a fully managed range of lottery and jackpot products that integrate seamlessly with online operators.
