The Hollywood Casino at York Galleria, Penn National Gaming’s first Category 4 satellite casino, is slated to open in the second half of 2021, a Penn official told WHTM News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The mini-casino will be the second in Pennsylvania to open in a retail mall location, after Cordish Companies’ Live! Casino Pittsburgh in the Westmoreland Mall on the other side of the state. Category 4 casinos are limited to 750 slots and 40 table games, and must be tied to an existing Category 1 (racetrack) or Category 2 (stand-alone) casino license.
We expect to open during the second half 2021; more details to come in the coming months,” Jeff Morris, vice-president of public affairs for Penn National — which will own and operate the casino — said in an email to the news station.
Penn also has resumed construction on its second Category 4 casino, in Morgantown in Berks County. That also is targeted to open in the second half of 2021.
