(PRESS RELEASE) -- Penn National Gaming announced today that Hollywood Casino Jamul – San Diego, which it developed on behalf of the Jamul Indian Village of California, will open its doors to the public on Monday, 10 October, 2016. JIV and Penn National recently received final approval from the National Indian Gaming Commission for Penn National to manage the facility. In addition, JIV intends to proceed with the approximately $460 million refinancing of the project, which was recently the subject of a declination letter from the NIGC.

Wilmott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Penn National, commented, "We are grateful to the Jamul Indian Village for giving us the opportunity to build this spectacular regional entertainment destination and are honored to serve as the manager of their facility and to help them realize their goal of becoming economically self-sufficient. Hollywood Casino, which created more than 1,200 construction jobs and approximately 1,000 permanent jobs, is the closest gaming facility to downtown San Diego and we look forward to providing our guests an unparalleled entertainment, gaming and dining experience."

Conveniently located on State Route 94 approximately 20 miles from downtown, Hollywood Casino Jamul - San Diego features an earth tone color palette and downcast lighting, allowing it to blend better with the surrounding area. The facility also features an eight-story below ground parking garage that accommodates 1,800 vehicles and eight dining and entertainment venues, including:
