Table games coming soon to Pennsylvania casinos
The state House of Representatives approved a table games bill tonight, clearing the way for its passage.
The bill will now go to Gov. Ed Rendell, who will sign the legislation into law.
The Senate approved the long-delayed bill Tuesday.
The law will allow Presque Isle Downs & Casino and the state's other casinos to add blackjack, roulette and other table games to what are now slots-only casinos.
All five state House members representing Erie County approved the bill.
State gambling regulators say it will take six months or longer before table games are operating, according to the Associated Press.
