Penn National Gaming last week announced the appointment of Albert T. Britton as Senior Vice President of Regional Operations, effective next month.
Britton is currently general manager of Penn’s Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia, which he has been for a dozen years.
Following a planned realignment of the company’s reporting structure, Britton will be one of three such regional managers, responsible for the Midwest Region, which includes Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Indiana. He will report directly to COO Jay Snowden.
Britton is a 35-year veteran of gaming. He began at Claridge Casino Hotel in Atlantic City and held a variety of management positions there until he rose to be president and COO.
Commenting on the appointment, Snowden said, For nearly 12 years, Al has very successfully led our efforts to drive revenue and create an exciting regional destination for our customers at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, one of our Company’s flagship properties. During that time he has overseen several Charles Town expansion projects, while adeptly responding to new competition in the marketplace. As a result, Charles Town remains one of the leading regional gaming properties in the country. I’m confident that our facilities and the property management teams in his region will benefit from his vast industry knowledge and experience.”
