Take heart, central Pennsylvanians! Ira says the development will "proceed as planned."

'Lubert described the proposed casino as a “transformational development” to life for central Pennsylvania.'

Hear, hear! I'm glad to be living in central Pennsylvania. These are incredible times. I can't wait to experience the enhanced quality of life that a mini-casino brings to us. I'll be gorging myself on that comped buffet food as I stare in a catatonic state at a flashing slot machine. Paradise.

Don't forget the third-class entertainment that these mini casinos are famous for.

How long have they been talking about this casino? 10 years?

Ira's group won the bid in 2020, but the earliest reference I could find to his wheeling and dealing was 2018. This article also references the 2018 memorandum of lease option that he signed with the Nittany Mall.

Can you imagine if PSU farted around that long with football facilities? Franklin wouldn’t put up with it. He’d bail.

Wait. 🤔

Was Ira the principle partner at the casino in King of Prussia?
I found Boyd Gaming purchased it in 2018.

Wouldn't PSU students be more likely to become addicted to gambling via sports gambling apps on their phones?

The folks at risk from the casino likely are townies from relatively low income homes
