Interblock’s CEO, John Connelly, said, “Penn National has long been regarded as one of the leading operators in North America and Interblock’s ability to work with an operator of this caliber is incredibly fortunate for our company.  We intend to use a combination of technology and innovation to help Penn reduce operating expenses across their properties, while increasing revenue.

“This partnership allows for Interblock to introduce several product segments designed for various casinos within the Penn portfolio.  Everything from Stadiums to standalone units will be utilized to address the demands within each region.
