Plainridge slots parlor to open June 24
Pending final approval, the first expanded gambling facility under the state's 2011 casino law will open in three months.
Penn National Gaming announced Monday that Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, a slot machine venue with dining, entertainment and harness racing, will open Wednesday, June 24 and lead to the creation of 500 jobs.
The $225 million, 106,000-square-foot site is located on Route 1, 35 miles south of Boston and 18 miles northeast from Providence, R.I. It will include a banquet room, simulcast wagering, and 1,800 parking spaces and plans to be open around the clock, 365 days a year.
Penn National executives planned to host media visits at the site today.
The Plainville site won the only slots license under the 2011 law, beating out a plan in Leominster proposed by the Cordish Cos., of Maryland.
