The Illinois Gaming Board [last] week approved plans to move the Hollywood Casino, giving a regulatory green light to the relocation of the casino to Rock Run Crossings.
The gaming board issued a statement after its approval Thursday for the relocation of the Hollywood Casinos in both Joliet and Aurora.
The approvals mark “a significant step in the regulatory process to bring new gaming venues to these host communities,” Illinois Gaming Board Administrator Marcus D. Fruchter said in a written statement. “The IGB will work with Penn Entertainment as it moves through the regulatory process to ensure these relocated casino venues are constructed, opened and operated in an efficient, ethical and compliant manner.”
