Three years ago, Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment purchased a category four license for a “satellite casino” by being the highest bidder in the 2018 Auction Round and paying over 8.1 million US dollars for the license. There are currently more than 50 positions such as surveillance agents, security officers, bartenders, chefs and more. This 73.000-square-meter casino project will include a total of 500 slot machines, 48 electronic table games and a “first-class” sports bar and restaurant holding up to 100 customers.Īt this time, the casino is hiring new workers for the grand opening.

One of the largest casino brands managed by Bensalem-based Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, Parx, is investing $65 million to convert the former Lowe’s building, located at 250 Conestoga Drive in Shippensburg, into a gambling facility. The new date was announced in a Facebook post. This casino is very significant to the people of Cumberland County, as it is their first casino ever built. The delay comes after unforseen construction delays and supply chain disruptions. On Tuesday, November 29th, Pennsylvania-based Parx Casino Shippensburg, a subsidiary of Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, reported that the casino will delay its originally planned November 2022 opening by several months, resulting in its grand opening in February 2023.
