HARRISBURG, Pa. -- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board hired five employees at its third meeting Tuesday and announced that six of its members will each specialize in separate aspects of their operations.

The board is charged with implementing and regulating slot-machine gambling under legislation approved last year.

The new hires include two members of Gov. Ed Rendell's senior staff who had been assisting the board over the past few months. Nick Hays was named communications director, with a salary of $85,000, and administrative adviser Mike Walsh was hired as special assistant, with an $87,000 salary.

The board also hired a clerk-typist and two administrative aides. All five hirings were contingent on the results of personal-history questionnaires.
