Hollywood Casino York

I went to the new Hollywood Casino in York on Saturday night. They put this in recently and what used to be a Sears. What follows are just some general first impressions.

The casino is in the back of the mall so it’s not plainly obvious from the road. The Galleria is always a confusing place anyway so this just continues that trend.

There was a pretty good crowd which I was not surprised by considering it was Saturday night. I stayed masked almost the entire time except when I was drinking my beer. They were masks scattered throughout.

The line for their players club card was crazy when I arrived around 9 pm. Only one person was working so I didn’t get one.

The sportsbook area looks nice. I didn’t spend any time there partially because I didn’t feel like making sports bets and partially because I hate Barstool Sports, which is their partner for sports betting. I may go there eventually and just deal with knowing that I am supporting that toxic organization, but I can also always bet sports for my phone.

They had three places for food and drink. There was a grab and go place. There was a casual sit-down place. And then the sportsbook bar. I don’t know if they had any food there though. Otherwise it seems like decent options for the size of the place.

Table game limits range from $10 to $25. I watched a little bit and they were pretty full. They also have sit-down table game spots where you play those video versions of blackjack or roulette. Those were full, but I would be very likely to play those in the future. There is no poker room at this location.

They have an OK variety of slots. None of the themed ones like based on a TV show or movie or anything like that. They hardly have any video poker. Some of the best slots are in the area where they do allow smoking, which could really sucked. Otherwise they’re just your typical video slots. They all seemed to let you choose the betting denomination.

I had a good time. I lost a little bit of money but did okay in a few slot sessions. The crowd was not threatening. I saw one person I knew. I will definitely go back. I may even sit at the bar attached to the sit-down eating area and get something to eat in a beer and watch an event. It’s about 45 minute drive for me so I won’t go all the time but I definitely will do it once in awhile.
