HARRISBURG - Plans for the Mason-Dixon Resort & Casino are now in the hands of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
Attorneys for Mason-Dixon delivered the plans privately Wednesday to the state gambling regulators.
Mason-Dixon is a Category 3 resort casino - the smallest type in the state - with only 600 slot machines and 50 table games.
Mason-Dixon, to be built on the site of the Eisenhower Hotel and Conference center in Cumberland Township, Adams County, is competing with four other casinos for the state's final Category 3 license.
Sources said Penn National Gaming - operator of Dauphin County's Hollywood Casino - is the proposed operator for Mason-Dixon.

On the same day of the application filing, about a dozen members of the group "No Casino Gettysburg" sat in a monthly gaming control board meeting in Harrisburg's Strawberry Square office building, silently showing their opposition.
The group objects to the casino's placement about a half-mile south of the historic Gettysburg Battlefield.
A poll commissioned by Mason-Dixon in March and conducted by pollster Terry Madonna concluded 62 percent of Adams County residents support the casino.
The project's developer, businessman David LeVan, said it will bring more than 400 jobs and increased gaming revenue to the state.
The gaming control board will now review Mason-Dixon's application.
"There are a myriad of factors that have to be taken into account by the board," Doug Harbach, director of communications for the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, said. "They'll put all that together and then they'll choose the right project."
Harbach said it will likely take the gaming control board several months to complete the review of the Mason-Dixon application.

They should pave over the entire site and try to forget their silly and boring war.
