In an appeal of a Category 3 slots license before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that included discussions of what “in” and “townhome” mean, some of the justices took an opportunity to challenge the state Gaming Control Board on transparency issues the jurists admitted were not before them.

Mason-Dixon Resorts, which was denied an application to add slot machines to an existing resort near Gettysburg, was appealing the board’s decision to instead grant an application to Nemacolin Woodlands Resorts in Fayette County near Pittsburgh.
