PHILADELPHIA: Pennsylvania's growing gambling industry could surpass struggling Atlantic City, New Jersey, to become America's second-largest gambling market sometime next year, an analyst told a gambling forum Tuesday.
Casino operators, financial analysts and government officials met for the second day of the Pennsylvania Gaming Congress and Mid-Atlantic Racing Forum at a downtown hotel, discussing the state's growing industry and debating whether Pennsylvania should put a moratorium on casinos due to a possible saturation in the regional market.
