I'll have to take a drive to Jamul in the near future. The Hollywood was not doing well - couldn't compete with the Big Boys in the area such as Viejas, Barona and Sycuan. I suspect the entire venture may fail but it was a given that Penn National would fold its cards on this place - remote (even by San Diego standards), no buffet, no hotel - I only went once, a dealer tried to short-change me when I wanted to buy chips from him - maybe just a human error, but not well-liked. The "buzz" from the very beginning was that Penn would bail (even before the casino opened after several years of delays) and it looks like this came to pass perhaps after their initial management contract expired. It will take a lot of magic to make a success of this place. They need Penn & Teller not Penn National!
BTW, the original (alternate) name for the casino was "Jamul Indian Casino" and maybe that's what they will become.
