The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board approved Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course’s petition to modify its gaming floor, which includes the reduction of slot machines.
It is the not first Pennsylvania casinos to ask the PGCB for slot removal. Rivers Casino Pittsburgh removed 302 slots in April after getting PGCB approval.
The Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, located in Grantville, cited skill games as primary reason for the slot reduction.
Hollywood Casino at PNRC Vice President and General Manager, Tony Frabbiele, presented the casino’s plan in reducing the number of slots on the gaming floor. Frabbiele requested the removal of 169 slots to take the current count down to 1,532.
