Justice CASTILLE,
dissenting.
I join the concerns articulated by Mr. Justice Saylor in his Concurring Opinion, and particularly his concern regarding the “prudent man standard” and economic issues affecting Majestic Star. However, unlike Justice Saylor, I believe those concerns warrant a remand to the Board for reconsideration. For the reasons I have set forth in my Dissenting Opinion in Riverwalk Casino, LP v. Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, J-42-2007, 592 Pa. 505, 926 A.2d 926, the failure of the Board to conduct any of its deliberations in public, or to allow for the equivalent of a post-verdict procedure once the Board finally articulated the grounds for its decision, necessitates a fuller consideration and explanation. Hence, I respectfully dissent.
