In July 2004 the Pennsylvania legislature authorized the legalization of slot machines at 14 locations throughout the state. Seven casinos have opened and the other seven are in various stages of licensing or construction. Two slot casinos will be built on the Philadelphia waterfront: Foxwoods Casino Philadelphia and SugarHouse Casino. These casino have been the subject of numerous lawsuits and the earliest that either casino is expected to open is late 2009. For more current information, visit their web sites at: sugarhousecasino.com or foxwoodspa.com One license is available to a future harness or horse track which has not yet been named and two slot parlors will be allowed at two as-yet-to-be-determined hotels which each must have a minimum of 275 rooms. Pennsylvania gaming regulations require that gaming machines return a minimum of 85%. All casinos are open 24 hours and admission is free. The minimum gambling age is 18 for pari-mutuel betting and 21 for gaming machines. In January 2010 the Pennsylvania legislature approved the addition of table games, including live poker, for all casinos. The first casinos began offering tables games in July 2010 and all of the state's casinos are expected to have them in operation by August 2010.
