PA board renews Mount Airy licence

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has unanimously voted to renew the Category 2 casino licence of the operator of Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County.

In making the decision, the board determined that Mount Airy had fulfilled the obligations under its previously approved casino operator’s licence and therefore qualified to have its licence renewed for an additional five-year period.

The decision to renew the licence was based on a process utilised by the board that enables both the operator and the public to provide information relevant to the renewal decision.

A public input hearing was held on August 3, 2022, in the casino’s host municipality, Paradise Township, where personnel of Mount Airy Casino Resort submitted exhibits and presented testimony on various aspects of the facility’s operation since its last licence renewal. 

In reaching its decision, the board also received information from local government officials, community groups and the PA State Police, along with the Gaming Control Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel, Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement, Office of Compulsive and Problem Gaming and Bureau of Casino Compliance.
