Happy Casino Day!

Today is a wonderful day. A casino will open within an hour or so of my house. I don’t plan on going there anytime soon, and the facility only offers slots, but I still think we should all celebrate.

Pennsylvania passed its slots law a while back and turned down the application from a Gettysburg group which wanted to put a slots resort about 20 minutes from my house. That would have rocked, but I didn’t mind that much.

Now, the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Track will open its doors today. They passed on the opportunity to open quickly with a temporary facility and made us all wait.

Like I said, I don’t plan on heading up there for a while. I get bored with slots pretty quickly and don’t know when I will have the time for a two-hour round-trip drive and a few hours to gamble.

But it’s closer to my house than any other gaming facility, which kicks ass, especially since they might bring table games to PA in a few years.
