It has only been a few days since Don Barden and the Majestic Star Casino announced that it would not be able to meets its initial projection of opening in March 2008 because of delays in awarding the casino license.
With both losing casinos in Pittsburgh appealing (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette link), the revised projection will need to be revised again — unless Barden commits to constructing the casino while the appeal takes place.
Given that the appeals process is expected to take up to 6 months (according to the Philadelphia Inquirer), and the construction of the casino projected to take 14 months after that, it looks like a better estimate of the opening of the casino is early Spring, 2009.
