Casinos continue to pop up across the U.S. - most
backed by their own state governments with hopes of hitting a jackpot of their
own in hefty taxes reaped from rows and rows of one-armed bandits. Pennsylvania
is one such State, as it is now working on the opening of its fifth slot machine
complemented racetrack. The Southwestern Pennsylvania area is gearing up to open
the Meadows Racetrack and Casino, which will be the area's fifth slot machine
casino.
The brand new slot casino will provide
roughly 425 jobs for the local area, a handful of which will have the
responsibilities of acting as regulators in order to maintain the casinos
standards of fairness and ethical business practices. All of the new positions,
along with the eternal jingle-jangle of hundreds of slot machines will being
June 5, 2007. At this point though, all of The Meadows new employees are in the
depths of their extensive training, and the area's Gaming Control Board is in
the depths of its own preparation for providing audits, legal oversights and
security precautions for the casino itself.
Currently, The Meadows Racetrack and Casino claim
to fame is its presently running ad proclaiming "It's So Easy" - in reference to
the casinos convenient location less than a mile off of a busy exit on
Interstate 79. This ease in access is already setting Meadows Casino apart from
its four other predecessors. The fact that The Meadows is not the very first in
the State to introduce slot machines in a casino environment is also helping
State inspectors, who have more experience and are capable of smoothing out the
opening process much more than they have in the past with other casinos in
Pennsylvania.
