The venue's fixed position

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course is in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Publicly published reference sources also place it at coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111.

Those coordinates are the most stable way to think about the property. Branding, ownership, and facility figures can change over time, but a fixed coordinate pair lets you compare the site to any reference point that has also been measured.

The same published sources describe the property as owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment. They also document an opening date of August 30, 1972, for the track at the site.

Documented straight-line distances from the venue

The table below lists every venue-to-reference pairing available for this property. Each figure is a great-circle measurement, which means a line drawn over the earth rather than a route you can drive.

Why straight-line distance and real travel differ

A straight-line figure is useful because it shows geographic separation without depending on any one route choice. It answers where the site sits relative to another place, not how someone will physically move between them.

Actual travel is longer because roads do not run as direct lines between coordinate pairs. Terrain, water crossings, local street patterns, limited-access road layouts, detours around built-up areas, and cross-state routing all add distance compared with a great-circle measurement.

That difference can be small between nearby places with dense road networks, or much larger when the route must bend around natural barriers or follow a sparse transport grid. For that reason, a straight-line number should be read as a geographic reference, not as a substitute for route planning.

Where the site sits within Pennsylvania

The property is in Grantville in the state of Pennsylvania. Using the published coordinates alone, the venue lies in the Northern Hemisphere and west of the prime meridian, which places it in the northwestern quadrant of the global latitude-longitude grid.

Within the article's documented geography, the most reliable regional statement is simply that this is a Pennsylvania venue with a fixed position in Grantville. If you are comparing it with another place, the table above is the safe way to do it because each listed pair has a published straight-line measurement.

Facility scale at a documented point in time

Publicly published reference sources describe the property as having over 2,480 slot machines as of July 2010. The same reference trail notes that table games began operation on July 13, 2010.

Those figures are best read as dated facility markers rather than live operating conditions. Casino properties are renovated, expanded, and reconfigured, so counts and layouts can change after the point captured in published reference sources.

How to use this location data for your own starting point

The venue's position is fixed, but your own starting point may not be one of the documented reference pairs listed here. If the place you care about is not in the table, this article cannot measure that specific straight-line distance.

In that case, use the venue coordinates 40.39666667, -76.65861111 in any standard mapping tool and compare them with your own saved location, city center, airport, or another fixed point you choose. That gives you a current route from your exact origin, while this article stays limited to documented straight-line pairs only.

What to confirm before you go

Before setting out, confirm the items that can change and are not covered by a fixed-location article. That includes current access arrangements, parking setup, venue hours, hotel availability, event schedules, and any temporary construction or closure notices.

The authoritative place to verify those moving parts is the property's own official contact and visitor information channels, such as its location page, booking page, and guest-services contact page. For route details from your own origin, use a current mapping service rather than treating straight-line mileage as a drivable route.

FAQ

Is Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania?

Yes. Publicly published reference sources place Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Grantville, Pennsylvania. The same source trail gives coordinates of 40.39666667, -76.65861111, which is the most precise fixed-location reference in this article.

Can I use the miles in this article as driving distance?

No. Every mileage figure here is a straight-line, great-circle measurement. Road distance is always longer, and the difference can grow because of road layout, water, terrain, and the need to route around developed areas or across state lines.

Does this article cover every place I might be travelling from?

No. It only lists the venue-to-reference pairs that have a documented straight-line measurement. If your own starting point is not one of those places, this article cannot measure that pair, so you should use the venue coordinates in a mapping tool and calculate from your own location.
