Wow, that's cool. It's also a lot easier for many of us to get to Philadelphia - many more direct flights.

Few of the PA. casinos have hotels, and the ones that do aren't near any big airports. It will be interesting to see if the casinos can come up with free,conveniant hotels for the gamblers. Having a nearby airport doesn't mean squat if there are no free hotels to stay in. AC is less than an hour away from Philadelphia airport.
I'm not familiar with Philadelphia airport. Are there a lot of flights from the east coast to there? I've never bothered looking into a flight from NY.

Doesn't make sense to fly from NYC to PHL. It's a 2 hour drive or train ride.

They don't need hotels. It's a locals market. Phila Park, in Bensalem, PA is right on the border of NE Phila, within a 30 minute drive of several million people. Same with Harrahs Chester, just south of the city, right off I-95.

Be interesting to see if they put ini decent games. I doubt it. Phila Park has no full-pay VP.

Exactly. Penn National, who added a casino is "out there"...Harrisburg is probably closest at 20 minutes away. But that joint was packed each time I went to the track up there the last year or two. One hotel at the interchange, and people packed in at the crappy slots and Shuffle Master BJ & roulette games.

I scoped the casino floor out last weekend on my way out of the grandstands, and there is plenty of rooms to have a solid pit or two in there. It's almost as if they planned for this day to come

good luck

OHIO is on the cusp of approving full-fledged casinos.

Polls show >58% of the populace approving.

The Governor is on board.

Yippee!

According to Creeping Panther, the mid-west has the best games in the nation. Which is it?

Maybe the best game in the nation. But a lot of dogshit, and a lot of those good games are at Indian joints in the middle of nowhere.
