Atlantic City Casinos Band

Together, Seek To

Dock In Philadelphia

Several representatives of Atlan- tic City casinos have taken options to purchase Philadelphia piers at which to dock floating casinos, ac- cording to state Senator Vincent J.

Fumo.

Sen. Fumo's remarks have been confirmed by a senior aide to Mayor

Ed Rendell, claiming that they "know that some casinos are taking out options on piers using straw men" to keep corporate identities private.

Riverboats, as opposed to casi- nos, are attractive to the casino in- dustry because they cost a tiny frac- tion of the investment to build.

Riverboat casinos would report- edly bring in such a tremendous revenue that the economics of wa- terfront real estate in Philadelphia would be significantly altered.

The city has apparently tried un- successfully for some 20 years to create the kind of tourist develop- ments that draw people to Balti- more, Boston and San Francisco.

Riverboat gambling will report- edly generate $25 million annually in taxes for the city.
