Hooray for Hollywood Casino — it may be going cashless. At a meeting this summer, the West Virginia Lottery Commission discussed owner Penn National Gaming’s proposal to make the Charles Town, West Virginia, casino cashless.
Ultimately, Commission members okayed the project moving ahead but decided to withhold final approval until they see it in operation. That trial phase is currently underway.
Lottery Commission members voiced mixed reactions to the proposal. Commission Chairman Ken Greear expressed caution, saying: “It’s just a matter of making sure the players do not have something that interrupts or makes their enjoyment of the game more cumbersome or something that doesn’t work well.”
