Pennsylvania Supreme Court to Hear Cordish Appeal of Bally’s State College Casino
Theo, you are absolutely correct that another casino is coming to Pennsylvania - state government leaders want more gambling tax revenue, and they will do whatever it takes to get someone to build a casino and collect it. However, it is not at all certain that the new casino will be built at the Nittany Mall location, or even in Central Pennsylvania. If Cordish wins the court case, their licensing process will start over from the beginning, and they will get to choose a location for their new casino all over again. It is unlikely that Lubert's team will just hand over the old Macy's site at the Nittany Mall so Cordish can build there after this legal battle is over. It is also questionable whether Cordish would even want to build in Central Pennsylvania anyways - Cordish has options to build in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh that were never even a possibility for Lubert because of the exclusion zones around Cordish's other already established casinos. Locations in either of these cities would likely be far more profitable for Cordish than a dying shopping mall in backwater Central Pennsylvania, even taking partial cannibalization of Cordish's existing casino revenues into account.
