Temporary slots planned for SugarHouse

By 6abc
PHILADELPHIA - April 6, 2009 - SugarHouse casino's developers say they hope to open the 1,700-machine temporary facility before the middle of 2010. The temporary slots parlor would be incorporated into the final design for the site on the Delaware River waterfront.

The developers say they can move forward with construction after the state Gaming Control Board approves the design changes. The temporary parlor will take about nine months to build.

Opponents have challenged the locations of SugarHouse and the city's other proposed casino, Foxwoods Casino Philadelphia. But developers say design changes released Monday are intended to increase the public's access to the river.
