The Gaming Control Board is expected to award a slots license in Pittsburgh and four other cities in the state. The companies competing for the Pittsburgh license are Forest City, Isle of Capri and PITG Gaming.

Shannon Biggard, from Pittsburgh is pleased with the news "I think it would be a great change, something different, something that has to add to Pittsburgh, something for it to offer."

Jason Trunzo, also from Pittsburgh, said, "I get down to West Virginia a couple of times a year and spend a couple hundred dollars. I'll definitely go down here instead of going down there."

But, as usual, there are also some detractors, that’s why on Saturday, some 70 protesters joined in the Hill District to show their disagreement.
