  4. The Provence, planned by developer Bart Blatstein for the former home of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and Philly.com on North Broad Street

  5. Market8, propsed by developer Ken Goldenberg and his Market East Associates for Eighth and Market streets

Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn was also vyijng for the license, but dropped his bid last month.

The public can submit comments to the gaming board about the casino applications until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
