The company completed the $37 million expansion of its casino Magic Real Estate in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Opened on May 27 with its 14-story, 291-room Bay Tower Hotel, the most comprehensive casino resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Penn National acquired casino magic bay st. Louis in August 2000 and began the expansion project in April 2001.

Responding to the completion of the project, Penn National Chief Executive Peter M. Kalino said, "The Bay St. Louis expansion highlights strong technology in real estate planning, development, and construction management, and highlights our commitment to prudent capital investment in real estate. With nearly 500 total rooms, superior restaurants, 40,000 square feet of casino space, championship golf course, live entertainment, and a variety of great guest amenities, we believe Casino Magic has emerged as the region's premier resort, and we expect our investment to generate solid returns."

Located on approximately 600 acres along the Gulf of St. Louis, the new tower hotel includes the Jourdan River Grill, Cypress Cove Ballroom, Spa at the Bay, token gift shops, and additional accommodation improvements. The hotel currently offers weekly concerts, five restaurants, an 18-hole Arnold Palmer Championship golf course, RV Park, and 201 room in a 24-hour casino, daily entertainment in the casino lobby, and 22,000-square-foot entertainment complex. Casino Magic Bay St. Louis is located approximately 46 miles east of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Penn National's expansion of the Casino Magic Hotel has created about 200 new jobs in Hancock County. Currently, Casino Magic Bay St. Louis employs more than 1,250 people. The upgrade is also expected to impose additional game taxes, property taxes, and tourism taxes on state and local governments and local school districts.  에볼루션 바카라사이트
