Gettysburg site for a slots casino sought

GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Could Gettysburg be the next location in Pennsylvania to be approved for slot machines? Local businessman Dave LeVan and a group of unidentified investors are seeking a Category III slots license. That category restricts the size of a facility to no more than 500 machines, and limits patronage to hotel guests or pass-holders.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Could Gettysburg be the next location in Pennsylvania to be approved for slot machines? Local businessman Dave LeVan and a group of unidentified investors are seeking a Category III slots license. That category restricts the size of a facility to no more than 500 machines, and limits patronage to hotel guests or pass-holders.

The Gaming Control Board rejected a LeVan-backed project in 2006 because of its proximity to the Gettysburg battlefield. This time, investors are looking at the 307-room Eisenhower Inn & Conference Center in Cumberland Township as a possible location. - AP
