Penn National files application for satellite casino
The company filed the petition for a Category 4 satellite gaming facility in Pennsylvania.
US.- Penn National Gaming has filed an application with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) for its first Category 4 satellite gaming facility in the state, Hollywood Casino York. The company wants to establish the new venue at the York Galleria Mall in Springettsbury Township.
Penn National said that it will invest approximately US$120 million for the facility, including US$52.6 million in licence fees for Category 4 slots and table games. The company expects to open with 500 slot machines and 20 table games, despite the fact that it can accommodate approximately 250 more slots and double the number of table games.
Penn National Gaming chief executive Timothy J. Wilmott said: “We believe the York Galleria Mall, which is a well-known retail destination in York County, is an ideal site for our planned Hollywood Casino York.”
“We explored numerous other potential opportunities within York County, but the mall’s convenient location, existing infrastructure and ample parking, as well as the support of Springettsbury Township officials and the local business community, helped cement our decision.”
