I live in PA woot woot!

This is pretty sick news, depending on how far away they set it up from Ohio, I might make a few trips over.

That will give me an additional option for trips to Hershey Park! Now that WV, DE and PA have now passed this, I am hoping that MD will follow suit down the road. We just passed slots legalization but have yet to put any in so it is likely to be a while.

I live in NY, so that's not too far.

Good news for poker in general I think? To see someone in US relax laws about it...

Could someone clarify for me - poker is illegal in the US? For how long?

Glad to see this will benefit a lot of other players from this site.

Podbelski, casinos in PA, which have actually only been around for a few years, soon will be able to have poker tables instead of being very limited in the games they can offer (I think before it was slot machines only).

MX, I thought that the DE legislation did not go through?

US, there are some good busses that can take you to center city philadelphia for $11 (Bolt and Mega Busses). That, combined with a train might get you pretty close to the front door of the casino.
