Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course has reopened.
The casino had to abruptly close and ask guests to leave on Christmas Day due to a technical issue with its systems that would not allow the casino to have live gaming
Employees cleared out the casino at about 7 a.m. It’s unclear how many gamblers were forced out unexpectedly. Some posted on social media that they were upset about being told to leave.
When PennLive called the security office on Monday, an official said the incident did not involve police, but stemmed from “technical difficulties,” at the casino at 777 Hollywood Blvd. in East Hanover Township. The casino reopened at 11 a.m.
“Although we had briefly closed due to a technical issue, we wanted to confirm the casino is currently open. Thank you for your patience and have a great day!,” the casino said on its Facebook page.
