About PENN Entertainment

PENN Entertainment provides casino gaming, sports media, and related entertainment services to customers across North America. It runs physical casinos and other gaming venues alongside online sports betting and iCasino offerings, operating under a mix of brand names such as Hollywood Casino, L'Auberge, Barstool Sportsbook, and theScore Bet. The company is perhaps most recognizable for this blend of traditional casino properties and digital betting platforms under one roof.

The business is structured into five operating divisions: Northeast, South, West, Midwest, and Interactive. Through these segments it manages dozens of physical venues spread across numerous U.S. states, while its interactive arm extends online sports wagering and iCasino services to customers in a smaller number of states. This combination of brick-and-mortar locations and digital channels allows it to reach bettors and casino visitors through multiple formats.

PENN Entertainment was established in 1972 and is headquartered in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. The company previously operated under the name Penn National Gaming, Inc. before adopting its current name in August 2022. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker PENN.
