Anthony Sanfilippo, CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, told Channel 11’s Cara Sapida that he hopes to improve the casino for workers and guests.
Sanfilippo said Pinnacle Entertainment will keep the horse racing and does not plan on making any major changes. He also said that the venue’s “My choice” loyalty rewards program will work in all 15 of the company’s casinos and resorts.
Guests told Sapida that they welcome the new ownership and hope that it leads to better luck.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and Harness Racing Commission still have to approve the sale.
