Penn National Gaming, Inc. recently filed an application with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) for Hollywood Casino York, which will be located at the York Galleria Mall in Springettsbury Township, Penn.
Hollywood Casino York would be Penn National’s first Category 4 satellite gaming facility. Its development would require an investment of approximately $120 million, including $52.6 million Category 4 slots and table games license fees.
The facility would initially open with approximately 500 slot machines and 20 tables games with a design to accommodate up to 750 slot machines and 40 table games. It would also feature a casual dining restaurant and sports bar, a small entertainment lounge, and a “grab-and-go” eatery.
Hollywood Casino York is expected to generate more than 75 construction jobs and approximately 200 new permanent local jobs.
“Penn National Gaming has been proud to call Pennsylvania home for over 45 years,” Wilmott said. “We look forward to adding hundreds of new team members in York County and becoming another economic engine for Springettsbury and the greater York business community.”
The company expects to complete the project approximately 12 to 18 months after receipt of all requisite approvals, including final licensing by the PGCB.
