Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino will be able to renew its license at a hearing in Pennsylvania scheduled for Thursday, June 27. Members of the public, public officials, and community groups are encouraged to attend.
First hearing for Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino will allow gamblers to offer feedback on a license renewal
According to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), the first of two hearings over the operator’s future would allow those from outside the organization to offer their opinions on a license renewal for the casino, in Bethlehem, Northampton County.
A separate hearing in Harrisburg will then allow representatives of Wind Creek Bethlehem Casino to offer evidence and oral arguments.
“The burden is on the renewal applicant to establish and demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, its eligibility and suitability for renewal of a gaming license,” the regulator said.
“During the hearing, the renewal applicant will be given the opportunity to demonstrate, among other things, its good character, honesty and integrity; compliance with its statement of conditions; as well as provide evidence on tax revenue generated; jobs created; success in implementing its diversity plan; and involvement in the surrounding communities.
“Following this proceeding, the board will ultimately determine whether the licensee remains eligible and suitable consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth and are otherwise qualified to have the license renewed for a five-year period.”
