The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports this morning that the city’s big Rivers Casino is asking the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to give it permission to close down 126 of its 3,000 slot machines and replace them with table games.
The slots are under performing, and the casino’s attorney told the board they weren’t making money and “There’s no sense having machines that are not getting play.”
The Rivers already is planning on 86 table games, and the request to shut down slots is necessary because the law allowing table games stipulates that casinos must keep the same number of slots they had operating last October 1.
