Meadows Casino And Racetrack Expanding Slot Gambling Machines

The Meadows Casino and Racetrack is planning on expanding on their original ideas of a permanent casino. they have upped the ante when dealing with the number of slot machines it will offer.

Washington County, Pennsylvania will be the spot of the new permanent casino. Originally, the plans called for 11,800 slot machines in the new casino. That plan has now changed, and the new number of machines more than doubles the original estimation.

4,200 machines will grace the gambling floor at the 350,000 square foot casino. The slots will not be the only change that has been made to the original plan.

A 16 to 18 lane bowling alley is now in the plans. It will be built on the bottom floor of the new slot parlor. A new parking garage, five levels high, will also be put into the plans. the garage will go where the original plans for a hotel were to be.

Once complete, which should be done in the Spring of 2009, the casino will open up 750 permanent jobs. The jobs will help out with the local economy. The whole project is expected to cost $155 million.
