Wind Creek Bethlehem PA online gambling licensing
As a condition of the $1.3 billion sale to Wind Creek Hospitality, owner Las Vegas Sands Corporation was forced to apply for a PA license to operate online poker, online slots, and online table games.
It was certainly an interesting move, considering Las Vegas Sands Corporation’s founder and principal owner, Sheldon Adelson, has done everything in his power to fight the spread of online gambling across the US.
The company’s anti-online gambling stance came to the fore once again at a meeting of the PGCB ahead of the deal closing. There, Sands executives testified the company has no knowledge of Wind Creek’s online gambling plans, but it disapproved of whatever those plans might be.
At the time, representatives from Wind Creek testified it had no concrete plans. Despite all that, the PGCB went ahead and approved the application.
It wasn’t until 2020 that Wind Creek began making headway towards online gaming.
Wind Creek launches online casino, sports betting to follow
In June 2020, Wind Creek got provisional approval to offer retail and online sports betting, and also announced plans to launch an online casino product.
The Wind Creek online casino went live in late July 2020, becoming the tenth iGaming operator in the state. An online Betfred sportsbook will follow. Wind Creek gave an original target date of late November for their retail Betfred sportsbook opening.
Wind Creek was a bit slow out getting into the online gaming market in PA, but they are well on their way in expanding their online presence now.
It remains to be seen if Wind Creek will make use of its online poker license some time down the road as well.
About Wind Creek Bethlehem
Before Wind Creek swooped in, Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem opened in Northeastern Pennsylvania on the former Bethlehem Steel Company site in May 2009. It quickly became one of the top two grossing casinos in the state.
The casino is open 24/7 and features more than 3,000 slot machines, 200 table games, and a 30-table poker room.
It is a draw for local players and visitors from out of state. In fact, Sands sits just 82 miles from New York City and 50 miles from Philadelphia.
In March of 2018, Sands Corp. signed a deal to sell the property for $1.3 billion. The property officially changed its branding to Wind Creek Casino in July of 2019 and got into the online gambling game in mid-2020.

Summary
Willow Creek Casino Pa Open
It is hard to have high expectations for the Sands Bethlehem online casino platform mostly because there is not much to get excited about yet. With the sale to Wind Creek not final, the property cannot move forward on an online gambling plan. Additionally, the casino will be one of the last to the market as a result of the delay.

If you see steam we're makin' syrup.
Please stop in and taste warm fresh maple syrup straight out of the evaporator.
My name is Brad Rice, I am a chef by trade and I have a love for the outdoors. With that combination, making maple syrup is perfect for me. I also get a chance to get out of the house in late winter when cabin fever is at its worst.
The spring of 2009 was my first season of making pure New Hampshire maple syrup. I had 25 taps and made several gallons of wonderful amber gold. The sap was boiled on my backyard rig with a roasting pan on cement blocks. It was then I realized I had been bitten by the maple bug and fell in love with the process.
The following summer I started out building a shed and came across an evaporator and my plans changed just a bit. I decided to make my shed a little bigger and add on a few more taps. The end result was a beautiful sugarhouse, a Patrick Phaneuf 2'x6' Stainless Steel drop flue evaporator and about 250 taps for the 2010 season.
We are now heading into our 11th season of maple sugaring and 10th at this level. The 2019 season was a little less impressive then I would have liked with lots of ice in the ground the trees just couldn't suck up water. This made the sugar content higher than average, but much less sap overall resulting in a less than average season. So 2020 here we are our 10th maple weekend coming up shortly. I was behind on getting started this year. I added on some new equipment and was waiting for it from the manufacturer. Everything is now up and running and the sap was flowing great until this past week's warm up so waiting for a freeze! It will come back I am sure.
There is no better smell than the maple sweet steam coming off the evaporator.
