Reporting from East County
Hollywood Casino in Jamul has been granted a permanent license to serve alcohol at its gaming venue.
Despite objections voiced by many Jamul residents, including county Supervisor Dianne Jacob, California Administrative Law Judge Adam Berg issued a ruling Wednesday stating that the casino can serve alcohol.
The venue is run by Penn National Gaming in an unincorporated area of the county belonging to the Jamul Indian Village, a 67-member tribe.
“We are pleased that Judge Berg recognized our commitment to responsible beverage service and to keeping our guests and the community safe,” Jamul Indian Village Tribal Chairwoman Erica Pinto said. “We know that serving alcohol is a serious responsibility, and one that we do not take lightly.”
