SugarHouse to open poker room Saturday

SugarHouse Casino plans to open its temporary 24-table poker room to the public Saturday at noon, the Fishtown company said.

SugarHouse general manager Wendy Hamilton told the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board in June that the temporary poker room is expected to generate $11 million in revenue during the 13 months it is expected be open.

In July, SugarHouse broke ground on a $164 million expansion that will more than double the casino's size.
