SugarHouse Casino’s opening is scheduled for today. Philadelphia goes right next to Las Vegas or Atlantic City as the big opening celebrates the right of gamblers to act freely in their own town. As there are always two sides of the same story, people’s opinions are pro and con. Those who support the initiative say that the casino will work as an economic engine for Philadelphia and will attract many tourists from all over the world. The other party show their indignation, as in their opinion SugarHouse Casino will create a gap between the local high rollers and the poverty of the city.
As the opening party is about to begin, they all will have to accept the idea that the casino is now part of the Philadelphia experience for anyone.
Inside of the SugarHouse casino one can find 1,600 slot machines and 40 tables for games like roulette and poker. Over $ 1 billion in gaming taxes are expected to flow towards the City of Philadelphia in the first five years of activity.
The complex is located on the site of the former Jack Frost Sugar Refinery and the construction costs were estimated at about $550,000. The casino’s offer, besides the gaming area, includes a 3000 car garage, a 500-room hotel, a spa and a 30,000-square-foot event center.
