PA Gaming Control Board to Hold Public Input Hearing on May 6th for Stadium Casino License RenewalReading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board will hold a public hearing on Monday, May 6, 2019 to gather evidence, including public comment, on the renewal of the Category 2 Slot Machine Operator’s license for Stadium Casino, LLC which is constructing the Live! Casino in Philadelphia.

The hearing will begin at 3:00 p.m. at Penn State at The Navy Yard, 1101 Kitty Hawk Ave., Building 7R, Philadelphia, PA19112.

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 Friday, May 3, 2019.

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

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 May 6th 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 Stadium Casino, LLC 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 awarded in November 2014.

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, including sports wagering offered currently at eight locations. The oversight also includes other new gaming initiatives, expected to be launched in the coming months, which were created through Act 42 of 2017, an amendment to the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act.

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 over 16,000 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.

Games Global and Fortune Factory Studios wrap up 2025 with supercharged sequel Gold Blitz Express™

Published

on

Games Global and its exclusive studio partner, Fortune Factory Studios, have launched a high-voltage finale to 2025 with Gold Blitz Express, the latest iteration of its dynamic franchise.

Building on the proven popular foundations of its predecessors, Gold Blitz Express retains the titular cash collect mechanic and bonus choice, but amps up the sequel with a brand-new Blitz Express feature and deeper bonus progression.

The Blitz Express mechanic is activated when a train symbol lands on reel six on any spin. A train steams across the reels pulling up to 20 carts, with each awarding a cash prize or one of four fixed jackpots, the total value of which is collected and awarded.

The studio has also elevated Gold Blitz spins with the introduction of an Accumulation Trail, which collects each Blitz symbol that hits. Every third collected awards additional spins and an increasing multiplier, with up to 14 spins and a 5x maximum multiplier, surging win potential.

Supplementing the action further is the integration of Games Global’s Rising Rewards jackpot, where every coin boosts the prize pot up to 200x, which can be randomly paid out.

The Gold Blitz series continues to define industry trends from a player control perspective. In addition to the bonus choice and bonus buy options, a Win Booster doubles the likelihood of activating features, while Bonus Recharge offers an opportunity to purchase an extra spin following feature completion.

Gold Blitz Express represents the latest evolution of one of the industry’s most diverse, battle-tested game franchises, spotlighting Fortune Factory Studios’ continued commitment to creating products that perform.

Alexander Monsma, Team Manager, Game Sales at Games Global, said: “2025 marks the fourth consecutive year that we have unveiled a Gold Blitz game toward the end of December – it is the perfect way to ring in the new year.

“Gold Blitz Express is the most feature-rich upgrade to date, electrifying the environment with even more variety and potential.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added: “The Gold Blitz brand remains one of the strongest franchises in our portfolio, and Gold Blitz Express builds on that success by extending the series with genuine depth. The introduction of new elements, such as the Blitz Express feature, feels like a natural evolution of the brand.

“It’s a fitting way to close out 2025, with the continued performance of the series reflecting Fortune Factory’s ability to create games with lasting appeal and sustained engagement. We can’t wait to showcase our upcoming lineup within this franchise and more as we enter 2026.”
