🏗️ Penn moves Aurora casino ashore

Penn Entertainment is preparing to move Hollywood Casino Aurora from its riverboat to a land-based site this month, continuing a wider shift in Illinois. The group also replaced Hollywood Casino Joliet’s riverboat with a new onshore venue last year, according to GGB Magazine. 🏨🚢 For the industry, the direction is clear: operators are prioritising modern, easier-to-access properties over legacy riverboat formats. That can support stronger footfall, improved guest experience and more flexible gaming floors. 📈
