The casino industry and its addicted enabler — a.k.a. your elected Pennsylvania representatives — never ceases in their efforts to bring more gambling options to every corner of the Commonwealth.

From slots to table games to sports betting, to online gambling to gambling at truck stops and airports, the gambling industry complex has spread across the state faster than the the emerald ash borer that is devastating Pennsylvania’s ash trees.

In the latest move, Penn National Gaming Inc. plans to open a so-called “mini casino” (86,000 square feet on 36 acres) in Berks County on the edge of Amish Country.
