The license cannot be issued until all appeals — like the one filed Thursday — are exhausted. The process could take years. A spokesperson for state gaming regulators declined comment Friday.At issue is how investor and former Penn State trustee Ira Lubert paid for the license, as well as if the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board even has the authority to consider the license.
