We here in Pennsylvania have legalized slots gaming to compete with other states.
Here's what you need to know:
Title 58, PA Recreation Code
§ 465.14. Firearms; possession within a licensed facility.
(a) Individuals, including security department personnel, are prohibited from possessing any firearm or handgun within a licensed facility without the express written approval of the Board, in accordance with authorization procedures as the Board shall determine. Notwithstanding the general prohibition:
(1) Pennsylvania State Police assigned to its Gaming Enforcement Office may possess a firearm or handgun within the licensed facility.
(2) An on duty officer or agent of any local, State or Federal law enforcement agency having primary jurisdiction over the licensed facility may possess a firearm or handgun in all areas of the licensed facility except the gaming floor or restricted areas servicing the slot operations where that officer or agent is acting in his official capacity. Officers or agents possessing firearms or handguns within a licensed facility under this section shall notify the Board and the Pennsylvania State Police Gaming Enforcement Office of their presence in the licensed facility. Notification shall be made immediately upon entry into the licensed facility or prior to arrival at the licensed facility, if feasible. Notification shall not be required if exigent circumstances exist.
(b) A slot machine licensee may not employ off duty law enforcement officers to provide security related services on the gaming floor, in restricted areas within the licensed facility or in any manner in connection with the conduct of slot machine operations.
(c) To obtain approval for the possession of a firearm or handgun within a licensed facility, an individual shall be required to demonstrate to the Board that the individual:
(1) Has received an adequate course of training in the possession and use of the firearm or handgun.
(2) Is the holder of a valid license for the possession of the firearm or handgun.
(3) Has a compelling need for the possession of the firearm or handgun within the licensed facility.
(d) Each slot machine licensee shall cause to be posted in a conspicuous location at each entrance to the licensed facility signs that may be easily read stating: The possession by any person of any firearm or handgun within this licensed facility without the express written permission of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is prohibited.
