Gaming Lawyers in Harrisburg

Comprehensive Legal Counsel for Individuals and Entities

As the second-largest state in terms of gambling revenue, Pennsylvania heavily regulates the gambling industry. Casinos, as well as the suppliers and manufacturers of gaming devices, are subject to the rules and policies promulgated by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The Gaming Control Board is responsible for issuing licenses, collecting fees, and making regulations that govern the gambling industry in Pennsylvania, which includes horse racing, the state lottery, and charitable fundraising events. Given the scrutiny and strict regulations applicable to gambling, the margin of error for industry players is small, while the consequences of noncompliance are significant.

If you are a gaming supplier, manufacturer, casino resort, or other gambling service provider, you may need a legal representative who is well-versed in Pennsylvania gaming law to help you with legal compliance and transactional matters. At Scaringi Law, you can count on our team of experienced attorneys to advise you on matters of Pennsylvania gaming law and advocate for your rights and interests.
