Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board won’t likely award the license at its meeting Thursday, said board spokesman Richard McGarvey. And it may be a while before that vote comes, he said, because the proposals need to be looked over by the board’s newest members, Keith McCall — sworn in earlier this month — and Tony Moscato — who joins the board Thursday.
   
The board first planned to make a decision by early January but was gridlocked. All four members appointed by legislators and at least one of three appointed by the governor need to agree to award a license.
   
After Thursday, the board's next meeting is March 9.

Four sites are vying for the license, which allows up to 600 slots and 50 table games — Park Inn Harrisburg West in Hampden Twp. (the Holiday Inn until January), Mason-Dixon Resort and Casino near Gettysburg, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Fayette County and Fernwood Hotel and Resort in the Poconos.
