    The sports book restaurant is not good at all !! Waited 15 mins for a server. They were out of the appetizer I wanted. Bought a $35.00 steak that was super thin and had absolutely no flavor to it ! Total was of money!

    I’m sure there’s some legality that because they have the race course they can only have slots but I really wish they had something else like bubble craps, etc. Other than that it’s well maintained and a nice place overall.

    Stopped in with my brother and girlfriend on a trip to PA to pick up some new equipment. The gaming floor was super clean, easy to maneuver, and offered plenty of space (unlike many packed shoulder to shoulder established we've been too). In addition, the parking was close to the building, which was perfect. And they stocked may well known games from home. All of these things made it a pleasurable experience overall. Next time we will have to try the food.

    As a huge casino gambler, I have the touch of gold at nearly every casino I go. I can say I have terrible luck at all Hollywood Casinos. I bet $1.50 to $2 per spin and after $1200 on one machine that has every bonus maxed (like the boiling pots full or the gems on the mummy) before I even put money in.. not one bonus. The next customer put in $400 and won $100. I put $750 in and each bonus pot was at max .. won $35. Won 190 free spins on Buffalo and won $5 and not one bonus! I won 150 free spins on Buffalo and won $3 and two bonus games which produced $12. I often wonder if they illegally turn the RTP rates down when busy. I’ve noticed if you bet $100 per spin you win instantly. The machine is not supposed to know the amount you’re betting because it’s all random. They play give away when it is packed but it is so noisy you can’t hear them call out your number. Not ADA friendly. There’s game hogs. They play two machines at once or tilt their chair And go off to play other games and circle back to the machine they had reserved. Never any parking available. The cash machine/ticket redemption is always down. You’re supposed to tip when you win over $1200 but the attendant didn’t serve you. When your machine malfunctions you can’t find an attendant for 20 minutes but as soon as you win they are like vultures. They don’t pay your tax on the winnings so I don’t know who started that trend. I just never ever had such horrible luck as I do at Hollywood. Notice how the casinos use to post winners holding checks for $10 grand or higher then slowly it went down to $5 grand then three then it was always under $2,500 now there are no more announcements or photos. I’m not being a sore loser. I’m being truthful. When you spend $500 on a machine and only win $50 something is wrong.
