Penn Entertainment has set the date for the opening of its new Hollywood Casino Joliet in Illinois as August 11, six months ahead of the original schedule.
Set to anchor Rock Run Collection, a new super-regional commercial and residential development, the new venue will host approximately 1,000 slots and 43 live table games, including a baccarat room, a retail ESPN Bet sportsbook, an approximately 10,000sq.ft event centre with meeting areas and roughly 1,330 parking spaces.
“The countdown to the opening of our newest casino begins today,” said Jay Snowden, CEO and president of PENN. “The move from our existing riverboat significantly improves our offerings in the highly attractive Chicagoland market, and both our existing customers and new guests will be able to enjoy premier gaming, dining and entertainment at this exceptionally accessible new location.”
