New casino coming to Pennsylvania

4 March 2025

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC and SC Gaming LLC have signed a framework agreement to develop and manage a Category 4 casino to open near the Nittany Mall in State College, PA, which remains subject to all regulatory approvals.

Construction of the casino is already underway and is expected to take approximately one year to complete. Subject to all regulatory approvals, the casino will include up to 750 slot machines, 30 table games, a full-service restaurant, and several quick-serve dining options.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $120 million, and upon completion of the transaction, Saratoga Casino Holdings will acquire a majority interest in the property.

“We are excited to partner with SC Gaming and expand our footprint into the competitive Pennsylvania gaming market,” said Sam Gerrity, CEO of Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC. “This collaboration will allow us to leverage each of our strengths and deliver an unparalleled experience to our customers."

“After years of delays, we’re overjoyed to be finally moving into active construction,” said Eric Pearson, CEO of SC Gaming. “After an intensive and expansive evaluation process, we’ve found the right partner with Saratoga, who shares our core values and a strong focus on guest experience. The pending partnership will help us build a casino the community can be proud of.”

Pearson, who has headed up the project since its inception, will continue with his role overseeing the development and operations of the planned casino.
