WESTMORELAND CO., Pa. — Work is now officially underway on a new mini-casino at the Westmoreland Mall.
"Live Casino Pittsburgh" will include 750 slot machines, 30 table games and a sports book area.
With seven stores in the mall shutting down this year already at the mall, officials hope this new development will be a catalyst for change.

It's being called a mini-casino because the state is limiting its size.
Channel 11 is told the casino will bring more than $3 million into the Westmoreland County community each year, as well as $50 million a year in state tax revenue and $200 million in annual economic impact.
The casino will be looking for full time workers as well as vendors. Click here to see where the applications will be posted when they're available.
