Penn National Gaming, Inc., on Monday said it expects to open Hollywood Casino York to the public on Thursday, August 12 at noon local time, pending final customary regulatory approvals.
The Category 4 casino is located in the York Galleria Mall in Springettsbury Township, and will represent Penn National’s third facility in Pennsylvania, joining Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville and The Meadows Racetrack & Casino in Washington.
A fourth property, Hollywood Casino Morgantown, is scheduled to open later this year.
The roughly 80,000-square-foot York facility will feature approximately 500 slot machines and 24 table games, with capacity for up to 750 slot machines and 40 table games. It also will offer a Barstool Sportsbook and race book, Diner & Drinks, a casual restaurant and bar, and the Classic Grill grab-and-go eatery.
Prior to the grand opening, Penn National will host two invitation-only test days, with gaming proceeds going to several charitable organizations in the area, including York County Veterans Outreach, York County Food Bank, Mr. Sandy’s Veterans Helping Hand, and local VFWs and American Legion posts.
“The countdown to our grand opening begins today,” Ruben Warren, VP and general manager for Hollywood Casino York, said in a statement. “We are very excited to soon welcome patrons to this beautiful new property, where they will be able to experience premier gaming, dining and entertainment.”
Warren added the company is thrilled to be supporting the work of the charitable organizations in York County. “Penn National is committed to being actively engaged in the community and partnering with worthwhile groups to assist those in need.”
Penn National operates 42 casino properties in 20 states, featuring approximately 50,000 gaming machines, 1,300 table games and 8,800 hotel rooms, operating under brands including Hollywood, Ameristar and L'Auberge. The company’s wholly owned interactive division, Penn Interactive, operates retail sports betting across the portfolio, as well as online social casino, bingo, and online casino products.
In February 2020, Penn National entered a strategic partnership with Barstool Sports, whereby Barstool will exclusively promote Penn National’s land-based and online casinos and sports betting products, including the Barstool Sportsbook mobile app, to its national audience.
