PA. Gaming Control Board Criticizes Privatization of PA. Lottery

Excerpt:

" A third state agency is pointing to potential legal problems in Corbett's stalled plan to hire a British company to manage the $3.5 billion PA. Lottery. The chief counsel of the PA Gaming Control Board wrote in a letter last month that the proposed contract documents are ambiguous and do not say clearly what kinds of new gambling Camelot Global Services would be allowed to operate.

As a result, it is impossible to say whether it infringes on state casino gambling laws, the gaming board's top lawyer, Douglas Sherman, wrote in his seven-page letter.

"Despite the references to Keno, Internet games and monitor-based gaming, none of the mentioned documents provide a level of detail or description of the games contemplated, or the types of operations of the monitors contemplated for use in Keno or any other monitor-based game," Sherman wrote."
