The board, in considering such an application, shall take into account the appropriateness of the physical space where the additional slot machines will be located and the convenience of the public attending the facility. The board may also take into account the potential benefit to economic development, employment and tourism, enhanced revenues to the Commonwealth and other economic indicators it deems applicable in making its decision. Subject to the limitation under section 1305.1(d), slot machines approved under this subsection may be installed and operated at a Category 4 licensed facility.
