Bensalem Begins Readying For Best Casino Gambling Site
At Philadelphia Park in Bensalem last week, workers were putting the finishing touches on rides for the temporary carnival that opened Thursday on the horse track's property. It is a once-a-year, family-oriented event that offers lots of rides, a magic show, a midway, and a petting zoo and attracts lots of traffic and people.
The "state fair," as the promoters call it, lasts 11 days. Meanwhile, the township of Bensalem is prepping for a much larger influx of people - the 4. 4 million customers expected to gamble each year on Philadelphia Park's 3,000 new slot machines. If the casino opens later this year, as appears likely, it will be the first of 14 slots parlors approved by the legislature to start operations. In anticipation, the Township Council voted on May 22 to hire 11 more police officers at a cost of $542,850 a year.
