Penn National Gaming's mini-casino under construction at the York Galleria in Pennsylvania is on track to open in the “second half of 2021,” the company confirmed Wednesday, as reported by abc27 News.
“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 Hollywood Casino York — told that news outlet.
The $120 million project in Springettsbury Township, which temporarily halted construction in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed in November. Hollywood Casino at the York Galleria was the third Category 4 license approved by the state after a 2017 expansion in Pennsylvania gambling laws allowing for up to 10 permits for these "satellite" casinos. Penn National selected the York Galleria as the site of its first mini-casino in September 2018.
Morris confirmed construction has also resumed on a mini-casino in Morgantown, along the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Berks County; that location is slated to open in the second half of the year as well, he said.
