Of the 14 casinos authorized for Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh spot had been expected to be the biggest moneymaker of all because it would be the only stand-alone slots casino in Western Pennsylvania, close to Ohio and West Virginia and far from Atlantic City and other big slots parlors planned for the state.They picked a guy who couldn't even get a building built. Now some state senators want it to go back to a re-bid in front of the gaming board. The same board that couldn't take the time to notice Barden's other failing casinos and couldn't wrap it's head around the fact that one of the bidders would have built an arena in town and was a successful company. Let's let them handle things again. Maybe kill a goose that's laying golden eggs.
Instead, Mr. Barden wasn't even able to get his facility built and now there's a partially constructed house of cards sitting on valuable riverfront property.
Keep it up Pittsburgh. Great job as always.
