Jamul Indian Village of California and a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn National Gaming Inc. announced the launch of construction activities at the site of the proposed $360 million Hollywood Casino Jamul on JIV's reservation in Jamul, California, approximately 20 miles east of downtown San Diego, off of State Route 94. Hollywood Casino Jamul, projected to open in late 2015, is expected to include a three-story gaming and entertainment facility of approximately 200,000 square feet, featuring over 1,700 slot machines, 50 live table games including poker, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges and an enclosed below grade parking structure with over 1,900 spaces. The project will create an estimated 2,500 construction and permanent jobs in the area.

JIV has made significant changes to the design of the facility to incorporate local community input, including significantly reducing its height and footprint. In addition, the planned development will now include water and wastewater reclamation facilities, addressing on-site fire protection measures. Visually, the facility will feature an earth tone color palette and downcast lighting to integrate with and complement the surrounding area.
