The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board was found in 2004 with the passage of Act 72, also known by the name of the Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. Pennsylvania’s first new state agency in almost 30 years, the Gaming Control Board is tasked to oversee and look for all aspects of the state’s casino industry. The 10 racetrack casinos that stand alone in operation, along with the two resort casinos, collectively employ over 17,750 people within their facilities and buildings and generate an average of $4 million per day in tax revenue from slot machine and table games play suck ash poker, black jack ect. A portion of that money is used for property tax reduction to all Pennsylvania homeowners; provide funds to the Commonwealth’s horse racing industry, fire companies, PPD, a statewide water and sewer project grant program, Charity and church money and the state’s General Fund; and, established a new stream of tax revenue to local governments that host casinos for projects for the whole community.
