As reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune Review: "Members of the state's Gaming
Control Board heard an outpouring of support for slots casino licenses at
Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Nemacolin Woodlands during public hearings
conducted last spring. "But in written comments furnished to the board,
public sentiment was split over the applications of the resorts to open
casinos next year to house as many as 500 slot machines. "The gaming control
board on Thursday made public more than 1,200 written comments as part of
the slots casino application process. The board is expected to award 14
slots licenses this year, including smaller casinos at the resorts. ".Seven
Springs, near Champion, Somerset County, and Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, in
Farmington, Fayette County, are the only two applicants for the two
available resort licenses."
