Pennsylvania’s controversial new gaming legislation was signed into law this past week, allowing table games including blackjack, poker, craps, and roulette to be played in all of Pennsylvania’s casinos.  The new law is largely aimed at raising money for empty coffers in the tough economy, but it’s also putting people to work and creating a need for additional attractions such as retail stores, restaurants, nightclubs and new hotels. New hotel construction is particularly critical, as casinos prepare for an influx of tourists in the coming months from New York, New Jersey, and other surrounding states.   
 
So how will these casinos and surrounding cities build the much needed hotels in time? Modular construction, as it turns out, is the perfect solution. Building modular virtually guarantees faster construction time, allowing owners to have their hotel completed and open for business much sooner than conventional construction methods would allow. Increased first year room revenue is the added bonus for hotel owners.  
 
In addition to the faster construction timeline, the greatest advantage of the modular building method to casino operators may be less disruption at the job site. Because modular construction largely takes place offsite, less time is spent building on the actual jobsite, which means casinos will experience minimal disruption to their normal business practices and guests won’t be disturbed by endless months of noisy construction. 
 
As Pennsylvania looks to broaden its appeal to tourists with table gaming, modular construction will indeed prove to be valuable to casinos looking for a way to expand existing hotels or build new hotels quickly and efficiently.
