Penn Entertainment Inc. said it now expects to open the new land-based Hollywood Casino Joliet to the public on Monday, August 11, pending customary regulatory approvals. The project is scheduled to open nearly six months ahead of the company’s original construction timeline.
To be called Hollywood Casino Joliet, the facility will anchor Rock Run Collection, a new super-regional commercial and residential development located adjacent to the Interstate 80 and Interstate 55 interchange estimated to have 230,000 passing vehicles daily. It will feature approximately 1,000 slots and 43 live table games, including a baccarat room, a retail ESPN BET sportsbook, an approximately 10,000- square-foot event center with meeting areas and roughly 1,330 parking spaces.
“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,” said Jay Snowden, Penn CEO and president.
