The reopened casinos are operating under reduced gaming capacity, staffing, dining options, and hours.

There is no timetable yet for patrons to return to Parx Casino, Rivers Philadelphia, Harrah’s Philadelphia, Valley Forge Casino Resort, Wind Creek Bethlehem, or Presque Isle Downs & Casino. Six casinos, meanwhile, remain in “yellow” counties, in which large entertainment centers must remain closed. Lady Luck Nemacolin in Fayette County followed with a reopening Friday.Įach of those casinos waited several days after the first possible day they were permitted to reopen before actually doing so.

Pittsburgh’s Rivers Casino and the Meadows Racetrack & Casino reopened last Tuesday after receiving state approval to do so, as the southwestern part of the state has been less affected by COVID-19 spread than eastern Pennsylvania. Week by week, Pennsylvania’s gaming industry is resuming activity after three months of no live gambling or revenue. Mount Airy’s website and media representative provided no updated information Monday, however, about reopening plans. The governor late Friday added the three casinos’ counties to the “green” phase covering COVID-19 business operations in Pennsylvania, which means they can open under certain restrictions. Mount Airy Casino Resort is the third venue newly permitted late this week to reopen for the first time since mid-March under a guideline from the Wolf administration.

on June 22, the casino announced late Monday afternoon. Mohegan Sun Pocono, meanwhile, will take several more days before reopening to the public a week from now at 10 a.m. Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course posted an announcement on its website over the weekend stating, “We expect to reopen Friday, June 19 th, pending final regulatory approval.” Three more Pennsylvania casinos have the go-ahead to reopen as soon as Friday, although only one of them announced it will be ready to do so.
