The sale of Sands Bethlehem to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians is finally over. Now Wind Creek is making moves to leave its mark on the PA gaming industry.

While operating as the Sands, this was a great place to work. They had a great on-boarding culture, on-going training, and a free meal for every shift, plus unlimited free snacks and soft drinks.

Perhaps the change of name will help boost the property’s lagging revenues. After all, in addition to moving forward with sports betting, Wind River will launch a PA online casinoand a PA online poker site.

Wind Creek Bethlehem online gambling overview

Sands Bethlehem is one of the casinos in Pennsylvania that applied for the $10 million online gambling licensing package. Even though Sands is vehemently anti-online gambling Wind River is excited to join the online gaming industry in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) offered licenses for online slots, table games, and poker at a $2 million discount, and nine of Pennsylvania’s casinos took advantage.

Wind Creek Hospitality, the real estate arm of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, purchased the property for $1.3 billion. Both companies went before the PGCB on Oct. 3, 2018.

In the approval meeting, the presentation carried a somewhat farcical tone. Sands testified that it had no knowledge of Wind Creek’s plans and it disapproved of whatever the plans were.

Now that Sands Bethlehem is fully transformed into Wind Creek, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians are moving forward. The property plans to offer online casino and online poker. In late 2019, the casino also filed an application for a $10 million sports betting license.

Wind Creek Bethlehem Resort overview

The much-heralded May 22, 2009 opening of the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, PA, on the site formerly occupied by the Bethlehem Steel Company. The new casino was exciting news for this depressed area along the Lehigh River in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Sands Casino Resort, one of 12 currently operating land-based casinos in Pennsylvania, not only draws large numbers of local players, but also visitors from surrounding areas. The casino is located 82 miles from New York City, 50 miles from Philadelphia, and only 10 miles from Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom as well as 6.7 miles from Lehigh Valley International Airport.

It will not be Sands Bethlehem much longer though. In March of 2018, Sands Corp. sold the property for $1.3 billion to Alabama tribal casino company Wind Creek.
