The Meadows is a Pennsylvania racino, located in North Shabone township, about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh. The venue consists of a harness racing track and casino. Hyatt Place (part of the world-renowned family of Hyatt hotels) is minutes away by footbridge or shuttle bus.

The Meadows is one of two Pennsylvania gambling properties owned by Wyomissing, PA-based Penn National. While there is no online casino associated with the Meadows, the property serves as the land-based partner of the popular DraftKings online sports betting app in PA.

The Meadows was one of the facilities in Pennsylvania that was awarded a gambling license for slot machines after legislation allowing slots gambling was passed in 2004. A temporary slots casino opened adjacent to the racetrack on June 11, 2007, after which the old grandstand was removed to make room for a permanent casino. The Meadows Racetrack & Casino – 210 Racetrack Road, Washington, PA 15301 Number of Slot Machines: 3,300 The Meadows Racetrack & Casino may no longer offer thoroughbred racing, but there are still a lot of reasons to visit this resort.

The Meadows online casino plans

The Meadows is one of two casinos in Pennsylvania which declined to apply for any online gaming licenses. Since Penn National owns both The Meadows and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, the powers that be saw no reason to double up on the $10 million fee package fee.

Besides, the Meadows can advertise Hollywood’s online casino extensively, and it will make no difference to patrons or management. The Hollywood’s mobile betting app is available throughout the state, and the money all flows to the same place. Like Hollywood, Meadows does have a strategic partner in IGT. The Meadows doesn’t have an online poker license, but again, sister property Hollywood Casino does.

Introduction to Meadows Casino

The Meadows is one of six licensed racinos in Pennsylvania. The racetrack was in existence long before the addition of casino games. In fact, The Meadows, which has been operating since 1963, was the first horse racing track to accept parimutuel betting in Western Pennsylvania. Over the years, the track underwent numerous ownership changes. It is currently owned by Gaming & Leisure Properties and operated by Pinnacle Entertainment.

Unlike most harness racing tracks, The Meadows offers a year-round racing program. Live races take place on more than 200 days each year. Specific racing days vary, but most races take place on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday and Friday evenings. Simulcast racing and wagering is offered daily.

Slots At Meadows Washington Pa

The Meadows was one of the facilities in Pennsylvania that was awarded a gambling license for slot machines after legislation allowing slots gambling was passed in 2004. A temporary slots casino opened adjacent to the racetrack on June 11, 2007, after which the old grandstand was removed to make room for a permanent casino. When the permanent casino opened on April 15, 2009, the temporary casino closed. Following the approval of table games in Pennsylvania casinos in 2010, Meadows casino patrons were able to play table games, too.

Dining and nightlife

The restaurants at The Meadows include both upscale and casual eateries. For fine dining with a panoramic view of both the racetrack and the casino floor, there is the award-winning Bistecca Steakhouse.

For more casual dining, visitors can choose from The Carvery,an upscale buffet overlooking the racetrack, Delvis, a trackside restaurant open during all live racing programs, or the Food Court (located on the casino floor). Another option is the Band Wagon, an indoor food truck serving wings, sliders, lobster rolls, and other bar food. Clearly, anyone who comes to The Meadows hungry, won’t be hungry long!

While the casino games-racing combo should suffice on its own to keep anyone at The Meadows from being bored, guests seeking other entertainment besides gambling won’t be disappointed. Headliners, located on the main casino level near the Food Court, offers live music from local bands on Friday and Saturday nights. Vibe Ultra Lounge, also located on the main casino level, is a dance club with live DJs that is open Friday and Saturday nights as well.

Alternatively, and this is a rarity at casinos, The Meadows also offers bowling. Hours of operation are Sunday-Thursday from noon to midnight and Friday and Saturday from noon to 2 a.m.

In addition, from time to time, special events take place at The Meadows. Rather than today’s hottest acts, the performers are old-timers like Tony Orlando and Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Tickets are reasonably priced, starting at just $1
