The bill amends Title 4 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the regulatory authority of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the minimum number of slot machines that must be operated at licensed facilities. It grants the board the authority to allow an employee to approve, deny, or condition requests to decrease the number of slot machines in operation, with the stipulation that such decreases cannot exceed 2% of the total number of machines. Additionally, the minimum number of slot machines required at Category 1 and Category 2 licensed facilities is reduced from 1,500 to 1,000, while Category 3 facilities must maintain at least 250 machines.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that each slot machine licensee must operate a minimum of 1,000 slot machines within one year of receiving their license, down from the previous requirement of 1,500. The board may grant extensions for good cause, allowing for additional time to meet this requirement. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
