Pennsylvania’s rapidly multiplying gambling expansion proposals are turning the state into a gamblified version of Baskin Robbins, although stakeholders are finding many of these new flavors leave a sour taste in the mouth.

The Pennsylvania state Senate’s Community, Economic & Recreational Development (CERD) committee will hold a hearing on Tuesday to discuss HB 271, one of the many work-in-progress gambling expansion bills vying for legislators’ attention in the dying days of the current session. While intrastate online gambling appears to be a shoe-in for making the bill’s final text, the rumored tax rate and other provisions could doom the bill’s chances for further progress.

Enter state Sen. Camera Bartolotta, a man who clearly never heard the phrase ‘too many cooks.’ Bartolotta filed a memo on Monday signaling his intention to introduce new legislation that makes no mention of online gambling but would authorize “satellite casino locations,” a concept that you know the state’s current 12 brick-and-mortar casino operators are just gonna love.

Bartolotta’s plan is to allow “up to 25” of these satellite gaming venues, each of which would be allowed to offer 500 gaming machines but no table games. However, they could offer off-track betting (OTB) or “other legalized games of chance.”
