Casino Features Cutting Edge Technology for a Cardless,
Cashless, and Contactless Gaming Experience
Today marks the grand opening of Hollywood Casino Morgantown,
the fourth gaming and entertainment facility in Pennsylvania by
Penn National Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: PENN)(“Penn National” or the
“Company”). The $111 million state-of-the-art casino is the
Company’s 44th property in North America.
State gaming officials, legislators and area dignitaries,
including Philadelphia Eagles legend Vince Papale, are joining Penn
National Gaming team members for a ribbon-cutting ceremony this
morning. Hollywood Casino Morgantown will then open to the public
at 12:00PM and welcome thousands of guests to experience 750 of the
newest slot machines, 30 table games, a retail Barstool Sportsbook,
upscale casual dining and above all, premier guest service.
“We would like to officially welcome players and guests to
Hollywood Casino Morgantown, our fourth property in the
Commonwealth,” said Todd George, Executive Vice President of
Operations for Penn National. “We’re thrilled to showcase this
regional entertainment destination, offering premier gaming and
dining in a modern atmosphere. In addition, we’re grateful for the
support of our host community, Caernarvon Township, and to all of
our local and state legislators and regional business leaders who
helped make this day possible. We’re proud to be creating jobs and
starting a new economic engine right here in Berks County.
“We’re also excited to outfit this casino with our innovative
‘3Cs’ technology, which provides for a cardless, cashless,
contactless ‘mywallet’ experience. I would like to thank the
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for their support as well as our
technology partners Everi Holdings and Acres Manufacturing. This
next-level technology, which is in place at all four of our
Pennsylvania casinos, further supports our omnichannel business
approach in which we provide the best experiences whether people
are playing at our properties or across our numerous online
offerings,” added George.
The roughly 80,000 square foot gaming and entertainment facility
employs approximately 375 people and generated over 275
construction jobs. Open 7 days a week and 24 hours a day on Friday
and Saturday, the fun and excitement will continue 365 days a
year.
