This does not bode well for Nevada. PA has always had a lot of gambling under the radar at the "private" fire station clubs et al.

The slots parlors at the 3 Delaware Horse Race tracks are going to be devastated by this..............one of them is only a few miles from the PA/DE line and gets most of it's patrons from MD and PA.

Low end conservative losses in Delaware start at $30million a year.......and Maryland will most likely follow suit in the very near future.

I don't really see it making a negative impact on Nevada. California Indian gaming is taking its toll on Northern Nevada, but Vegas is Vegas and Pennsylvania isn't going to dent it as a destination resort.

From another perspective, Nevada stands to gain on the manufacturing side as IGT and Bally Gaming will undoubtedly supply the majority (if not all) of the slot machines, and Bally Systems will probably win the slot network contract. All those companies are located in Nevada.
