A state level debate in Pennsylvania is about to take on regarding the integration of slot machines on the airport territory. The proceeds from this prospective gaming activity would be directed into the budget patching of the local airport and other airports across the state.

Centini, director of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport has raised a question of "why not us?" alluding to Nevada airport where such gambling endeavors have already been enacted.
