Parent company for Hollywood Casino York receives license

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board recently issued final licensing approval to Penn National Gaming for Hollywood Casino York, which will be located at the York Galleria Mall in Springettsbury Township.

The company will invest nearly $120 million in Hollywood Casino York in an approximately 80,000-square-foot facility, 500 slot machines, and 24 table games. The location will have the ability to accommodate up to 750 slot machines and 40 table games.

The casino also will feature an entertainment lounge, a casual restaurant and bar, a coffee venue, and a sports and race book.

Construction is expected to create more than 250 jobs and take a year to complete.

“We have already met with local workforce development organizations to begin the process of identifying our future team members and creating approximately 200 new permanent jobs in York County,” Timothy Wilmott, Penn National Gaming CEO, said.

The casino will be a Category 4 gaming facility. Under the law, these facilities can operate up to 750 slot machines and 40 table games, and tax revenue is dispersed at the state, county, and local levels.

Springettsbury Township will receive 1 percent gross tax revenue from gaming table and 2 percent from slot machines.
