After years of pushing to build a casino on South Philadelphia’s waterfront and being met with massive local opposition, Foxwoods Casino is trying to build a slots parlor in Philadelphia's Chinatown. At the public meeting that followed the march, Philadelphia City Council unanimously voted to to recommend approval of the zoning bills that would pave the way for Foxwoods Casino.
