Happy Valley Casino is now open

27 April 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Happy Valley Casino is now officially open, welcoming guests to experience a new level of gaming, dining and entertainment in State College.

The new casino features 600 slot machines and 30 live table games, offering a mix of classic favorites and modern play. Just steps from the gaming floor, guests can enjoy two distinct dining experiences. Aces Social delivers upscale pub fare in a lively, sit-down setting complete with large-screen TVs for sports fans, while Lucky Break Café offers fast-casual convenience with a variety of grab-and-go and handheld options.

At the heart of the action, the Center Bar serves a full selection of craft beer, wine and top-shelf spirits, making it the perfect place to celebrate a win or gather with friends.

Guests can also take advantage of the casino’s Player Rewards Club, where they can earn points during play to be redeemed for Free Slot Play, food and beverage, merchandise and more. Membership also provides players with access to exclusive promotions, special offers and rewards.

To mark the opening, Happy Valley Casino is launching its first promotion, giving players the chance to win a share of $10,000 in cash and prizes. Guests who enroll in the Rewards Club can immediately begin earning entries. Both a commemorative gift giveaway for the first 1,500 Club members and the $10,000 in Free Slot Play and cash drawing will take place during the official Grand Opening Celebration on May 8.

“This is an incredibly exciting moment for our team and the entire community as we open the doors to Happy Valley Casino,” said Eric Pearson, General Manager of Happy Valley Casino. “We’re proud to introduce a vibrant new destination where guests can enjoy top-tier gaming, great food and rewarding experiences. From day one, our focus has been on creating an atmosphere that’s welcoming, energetic and full of opportunity—and we can’t wait for our guests to be part of it.”

Happy Valley Casino is open daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Guests must be 21 years of age or older to enter.
