Valley Forge is the first of the smaller ‘resort’ casinos laid out in the 2004 law that legalized gambling in Pennsylvania, featuring 600 slot machines and 50 table games. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board gave the casino the final signoff after two test nights, board spokesman Doug Harbach said Friday. The $150 million Valley Forge Casino Resort opened early Saturday at a conference center just outside Valley Forge National Historical Park. VALLEY FORGE (AP) – Pennsylvania’s 11th casino is open for business near the suburban Philadelphia area where George Washington’s soldiers endured the bleak winter of 1777-78.
