The Gaming Oversight Committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has scheduled two public hearings on March 18 to consider ways to keep the state's casinos competitive.

There will be a 9 a.m. hearing at Harrah's Philadelphia Casino in Chester and a 2 p.m. hearing at SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.

For April, the committee has three scheduled hearings: "Games of Skill vs. Games of Chance" on April 1; "Internet Gaming and Mobile Gaming" on April 16, and a session on Pennsylvania's casino-ownership restrictions on April 21.

State regulations limit companies to owning one casino outright, plus one-third of another. The April hearings will take place in Harrisburg.
