Casinos continue to pop up across the U.S. - most backed by their own state governments with hopes of hitting a jackpot of their own in hefty taxes reaped from rows and rows of one-armed bandits. Pennsylvania is one such State, as it is now working on the opening of its fifth slot machine complemented racetrack. The Southwestern Pennsylvania area is gearing up to open the Meadows Racetrack and Casino, which will be the area's fifth slot machine casino.

The brand new slot casino will provide  roughly 425 jobs for the local area, a handful of which will have the responsibilities of acting as regulators in order to maintain the casinos standards of fairness and ethical business practices. All of the new positions, along with the eternal jingle-jangle of hundreds of slot machines will being June 5, 2007. At this point though, all of The Meadows new employees are in the depths of their extensive training, and the area's Gaming Control Board is in the depths of its own preparation for providing audits, legal oversights and security precautions for the casino itself.

Currently, The Meadows Racetrack and Casino claim to fame is its presently running ad proclaiming "It's So Easy" - in reference to the casinos convenient location less than a mile off of a busy exit on Interstate 79. This ease in access is already setting Meadows Casino apart from its four other predecessors. The fact that The Meadows is not the very first in the State to introduce slot machines in a casino environment is also helping State inspectors, who have more experience and are capable of smoothing out the opening process much more than they have in the past with other casinos in Pennsylvania.
