to be unconstitutional.
The Court also severed the county local share provision from the Gaming Act.
The Court has stayed its decision until May 26, 2017 to allow for a legislative fix
which has yet to be enacted.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course entered into an agreement
with Dauphin County to maintain local share payments for 2017.
