The informational session, which will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton - Green Tree, begins at 1 p.m. Those who are unable to attend but would like to participate online must pre-register for the webinar by visiting http://cmsmedia.state.pa.us/events/plcb/11611/registration.asp.

Once registered, webinar participants will be able to view a live feed of the Jan. 21 event on a computer, ask questions during the session's question-and-answer period and print the documents session attendees will receive.

To attend any of the remaining seminars in person, interested individuals are encouraged to visit www.lcb.state.pa.us and follow the link under "Licensees," then "Tavern Gaming" to register.
