State House studies plan to create Pennsylvania Gaming Commission
The Pennsylvania House considers a bill to form a single state agency named the Pennsylvania Gaming Commission. It would absorb the Harness Racing, Horse Racing, and Bureau of State Lotteries and license bingo games. The commission would oversee existing gambling and any future forms, with a five member board and bureaus for racing, lottery, and bingo. Bingo licenses would carry a $50 annual fee and prize limits of $50, with two daily prizes up to $200. Local referendums and legislative approvals would be required for bingo operations.
