Pennsylvania has reached another milestone in the implementation of truck-stop video gaming terminals, approved as part of the 2017 gaming expansion law. According to the PennLive news site, supplier International Game Technology has completed work on expansion of the state’s central control system, which tracks play on casino slot machines, to cover the new truck stops.
Six truck stops have received licenses so far, but none have completed the process of adding the machines, which culminates in a final inspection and testing by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The law permits up to five VGTs in each qualifying location.
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board spokesman Doug Harbach told the news site he is confident the VGTs will be up and running before the end of the summer.
