SC Gaming on Thursday announced the official name and logo of its forthcoming casino in central Pennsylvania at Nittany Mall in State College: Happy Valley Casino.
According to a statement, the logo reflects a “modern vision and spirit of the future casino, while incorporating visual nods to the iconic valleys and mountains of the region.”
“We feel that the name and logo pays homage to the rich history, picturesque landscapes and enduring spirit of the Happy Valley community that we are proud to be a part of,” SC Gaming CEO Eric Pearson said in the statement.
Construction of the casino is expected to be finished by spring 2026. State College company Poole Anderson Construction is the general contractor.
“The project is off to a great start and we’re confident that once it is completed, we’ll deliver a premier experience focusing on fun, excitement and hospitality that compliments Happy Valley and serves as a catalyst for further exciting development of the Dale Summit region around the Nittany Mall,” said Pearson.
In January, SC Gaming announced it had entered into a framework agreement with Saratoga Casino Holdings to partner on the State College project, subject to pending regulatory approvals by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. Also subject to all gaming approvals, Happy Valley Casino will include up to 750 slot machines, 30 table games, a full-service restaurant, and a quick-serve dining option.
SC Gaming is owned and led by Ira Lubert, a businessman, investor, and philanthropist who also has developed the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
