SugarHouse Casino Opens In Philadelphia
The opening of the SugarHouse Casino will take place on Thursday. It will be the 10th casino in the state. The project was delayed by many protests and delays, but is officially opening on Thursday for the first time. The casino said that they expect thousands of people to attend their grand opening. The location is home to more than 1,600 slot machines and more than 40 table games.
The casino went through a number of test runs of all of their games to ensure that everyone was running smoothly. They actually played the games, and all of the proceeds from the gambling efforts went to charity.
Previously, Detroit had been the largest city in the nation with a casino, with a population of more than 900,000 people. That title will now belong to Philadelphia, which as a population of more than 1.55 million.
“There was a lot of litigation in Philadelphia that we did not have in other parts of the state,” said Board Chairman Gregory Fajt.
Officials on the board of the casino have had to deal with protests outside of the location, and being heckled as they enter their place of employment. Now, it appears that the protestor’s efforts will come to an end, as the first casino in the city opens.
