Not long ago, Pennsylvania legislators paved the way for mini casinos. Now, a Pennsylvania mini casino is set to launch where an old Sears once was in the York (PA) Galleria Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Department stores have been struggling for years. However, mini casinos are just getting their start in the Keystone State. Therefore, the scenario where a mini casino takes over a major department store is fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pennsylvania Mini Casino Will Offer Numerous Slots Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming casino in York may not be so “mini” after all. It’s set to feature 500 slot machines when it launches in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owned by Penn National Gaming, the gambling establishment will span 80,000 feet. The shuttered Sears department store covered the same amount of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just over 44,000 residents, York isn’t the biggest city in PA. However, it will soon offer its own casino near a strategic Maryland border location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All 500 slot machines will be housed on a single floor. The gambling venue will also offer 24 table games, an off-track betting parlor, a sportsbook, and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boosting the York Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

York hasn’t boasted much economic growth in recent decades. Penn National’s upcoming Hollywood mini casino should help change this to some degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will create 260 construction jobs, 200 of which will be full-timers. Once the Pennsylvania mini casino is running, it will pay around $1 million in annual tax revenue to Springettsbury Township.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Pennsylvania Support So Many Casinos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Keystone State already features heavy competition in its gambling market. This mini casino, and others, will only bolster the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, PA lawmakers see these smaller gambling venues as a way to generate additional tax revenue. They’ve had so much success with large casinos that they want to capitalize even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
