Penn National Gaming Opens Fourth Pennsylvania Venue

Penn National Gaming has opened its fourth gaming and entertainment facility in Pennsylvania, Hollywood Casino Morgantown. Just in time for Christmas, the casino, which cost $111 million, is Penn National Gaming’s forty-fourth property to open in North America.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by executives from Penn National Gaming together with legislators, state gaming officials, and area dignitaries including Philadelphia Eagles’ Vince Papale. Visitors to the casino can enjoy 750 state-of-the-art slot machines, 20 table games, a retail barstool sportsbook, and dining experiences.

We would like to officially welcome players and guests to Hollywood Casino Morgantown, our fourth property in the Commonwealth. 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.
