Yeh. At long last table games have come to PA casinos.
It was just a matter of time.
PA needs the money.
Of course, Atlantic City New Jersey can’t be too happy about this.
Sunday, there was a test run at the Mt. Airy Casino. But now it’s for real.
Beginning July 13, Mount Airy will offer 72 table games.
On the main gaming floor, surrounded by the ever-popular slots, are 46 tables, including three craps, roulette, black jack, three-card poker and other speciality games.
Jim Tuthill, Mount Airy vice president of casino operations, said no casino is really complete without slots and table games.
Amen, brother.
A true casino offers both table games and slots. One truly complements the other.
Mount Airy’s core demographic used to be women around age 40 and up. With the addition of table games, she said, that demographic now includes men 25 and up.
I’m looking forward to making a test run of my own.
If you’ve been to one of the casinos, please email me and let me know what your impressions were.

Obviously…one step closer.
That’s the big news coming out of the Massachusetts’ Senate last week.
Now the question is, what compromises have to be made so that the House can sign off on the proposal?
Governor Duval Patrick has been quoted as saying he will intervene and help reconcile the two versions of the bill.
One thing seems for certain though: casino gambling is coming to the Bay state.
As I read it, the two legislative bodies have a deadline of July 31st to reconcile the bills.
The legislative session ends on that date, and if a final version is not approved by both chambers, the gambling expansion talk may have to wait another year.
Patrick does not want that to happen.
The Senate bill that was passed this week calls for the creation of three casino resorts. No slots were awarded for state racetracks in the plan, and that could become a sticking point when negotiations begin with the House.
The House plan calls for only two casino resorts, but gives 750 slots for each of the state’s two horse tracks and two dog tracks.
So one of the sticking points is slots.
If the House and Senate can come to terms on an agreement, the possibility exists for millions of dollars to be pumped into the economy in Massachusetts.
Tax revenue would also be in the millions for a state that is facing severe budget deficiencies.
Why else would this be happening.
As I’ve said over and over…. states are desperate for money. People love to gamble.
Why not make it legal?

Wonderful story in the Boston Globe (credit, where credit is due) about gambling in Massachusetts made a lot of sense to me so I thought I’d go over some of the points made by the reporter.
In Mass, where legislators are about to approve casinos, they have promised to control the spread of gambling. But there is already the pressure to expand into slots, video gaming.
Point is, install a casino in your state and it inevitably legalizes gambling.
Now look, it’s all done to raise money to help financially strapped states.
Michigan, for example, which had just two casinos in 2000, has 23 today; and in Pennsylvania, which has nine gambling halls, lawmakers are proposing to help close next year’s $1.6 billion budget gap by allowing betting games in taverns.
This I like, by the way. As a Pennsylvanian.
“Once you get the breakthrough of legalization, there is always a push for expansion, and states almost never pull back,’’ said Nelson Rose, a professor at Whittier Law School in California who tracks the gambling industry. “It always happens one way or another.’’
Expansion can dramatically expand access to gambling and dilute the market, cutting revenue at large casinos and increasing the costs of addiction, crime, and government regulation, critics said.
Even gambling supporters in Massachusetts agree the trend is worrisome.
But it is inevitable. And why should it not be?
I love to gamble. But I won’t do it illegally. Why not allow me to gamble at my own pace where I want to? As long as I am not hurting anyone. Or hurting my family. Why not?
What do you think?

Unbelieveably interesting things happening in my home state.
I grew up on Long Island, so pardon me for crowing a bit about the possible casino we may soon have there.
[Franklin Square, near Hempstead, if you must know...is where my family settled, after leaving Brooklyn.]
Seems like the Shinnecock Indians 32-year battle for federal recognition ended with prayer, drumming and an Algonquin victory song on Long Island this week, after the Obama administration approved the tribe’s petition.
Now comes the next big challenge: negotiations over a casino in a region filled with competing gambling interests.
With federal recognition, the tribe can build a casino on its 800-acre reservation in Southampton, N.Y., but the tribe, the state and local officials would prefer to find another location, in New York City or its suburbs, for the casino.
I dunno, I’d like the casino on the Island but I can understand the tribe wanting it in the city. More money, naturally. Wall Street banker money.
The state has been negotiating with the tribe in anticipation of the recognition, which appeared likely after an initial ruling in December.
The announcement of the decision, made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, will almost certainly change the way of life for the relatively impoverished tribe, whose 1,292 members live amid some of the nation’s wealthiest and most famous celebrities.
The decision will become official after a 30-day public comment period.
I’ll keep an eye out on what happens.
After all, like I said…MY HOMETOWN.
