We would like to officially welcome players and guests to Hollywood Casino Morgantown, our fourth property in the Commonwealth. We’re thrilled to showcase this regional entertainment destination, offering premier gaming and dining in a modern atmosphere. In addition, we’re grateful for the support of our host community, Caernarvon Township, and to all of our local and state legislators and regional business leaders who helped make this day possible.
