The Casino at Nemacolin told PlayPennsylvania on Friday morning that it is laying off employees. The property did not give a specific number or percentage of the workforce it will pink-slip.
It did provide PlayPennsylvania with a comment, which read in part:
“Nemacolin has announced a strategic workforce reduction following a comprehensive evaluation of its current operations, driven by changes in available room inventory that have materially affected guest volume and operational demand; as a result, staffing levels in specific areas must be realigned to reflect these business needs.”
CBS reported that more than 140 employees got laid off.
Focused on ‘long-term stability’
The Casino at Nemacolin did realize the difficult nature in making this decision. The property went on to add in its statement:
“In making this decision, the company applied consistent criteria in accordance with its policies and evaluated multiple operational factors.
“While difficult, these adjustments are intended to position Nemacolin for long-term stability, and the company extends its sincere appreciation to all associates for their dedication and service.”
The property’s slot revenue has actually increased in recent years. During FY 2023/2024, Nemacolin generated $21.8 million, and grew to $25.3 million in FY 2024/2025. The casino is on pace to produce $26.2 million in revenue this fiscal year.
