Lawsuit Filed Against Penn National

It has been reported that the situation surrounding Penn National Gaming pulling out of the proposed Lawrence Downs Casino and Racing Resort project in Pennsylvania is beginning to get nasty.

Penn National announced on Monday, March 30 that it was pulling out of the racino project, which has prompted a swift response from William Pietragallo, an attorney that is representing the project’s other partners, Endeka Entertainment.

A report by wfmj.com has stated that Pietragallo has filed a lawsuit against Penn National on behalf of Endeka.

The article states that Endeka has taken the position that Penn National perpetrated a fraud in pulling out of the deal. In light of Endeka’s suit, Penn National is seeking a declaratory judgment in regard to its results to pull out of the deal.
