Live! Casino Pittsburgh is Finally Here

Live! Casino Pittsburgh Could Soon Be Opening Its Doors

Pennsylvania has consistently featured on national headlines after it changed its stance towards gaming. The need to legalize gambling is a perception that is shared by legislators and citizens alike. In light of these developments, the state officially set the record straight by legalizing video gambling terminals (VGTs).

From the look of things, the illegal gaming industry will soon be in the state's history books. The groundbreaking of the Live! Casino Pittsburgh played a vital role in the state's gaming revolution. Besides its failed initial launch earlier, it is expected to open its doors in the summer of 2020.

This projected will cost close to $148 million during its construction. It is, however, expected to generate $188 million in annual revenue.

Owned by a group of Maryland-based Cordish Companies, this casino was officially licensed for a whopping $40 million and received a category four license in July of 2018. And shortly after the permit was awarded, Hempfield officials were served with permit documents and technical plans, before they finally okayed its development.
