“We would like to officially welcome players and guests to
Hollywood Casino York,” said Todd George, Executive Vice President
of Operations for Penn National. “We’re thrilled to be opening our
43rd property in North America, our third in the Commonwealth, and
showcasing Hollywood Casino York’s unique style of premier gaming,
dining and entertainment in a truly modern atmosphere. Importantly,
it has been an honor to be welcomed by Springettsbury Township and
the surrounding communities, creating new jobs and starting a new
economic engine right here in York County.
“We are also very excited to be launching our cutting edge ‘3C’
technology at Hollywood Casino York: our cardless, cashless,
contactless ‘mywallet’. This is a revolutionary enhancement for our
industry, and I want to thank the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
for their support and our technology partners Everi Holdings and
Acres Manufacturing. This technology further supports Penn
National’s omnichannel business approach where we are providing the
best experiences, whether people are playing with us at our
properties or on our numerous online offerings,” added George.
The approximate 80,000 square foot gaming and entertainment
facility employs 290 people and generated 230 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.
