Foxwoods announced at City Hall on Wednesday that they plan to seek approval to build the 3,000-machine slots parlor at the former Strawbridge & Clothier store at Eighth and Market streets.
Opponents packed Wednesday's news conference to voice their continued opposition. Foxwoods will need approval from the city and the state gaming board.
In July 2004, the Legislature passed a gaming law that legalized as many as 61,000 slot machines across the state. Opposition has stalled plans for two casinos in Philadelphia.
