Second time at this casino. First we tried the buffet tonight. Was actually pretty good. The beef at the carving station was excellent. My only complaint was no cold shrimp. Other casinos in PA that I've been too serve it in their buffets. The waitress was excellent and very friendly. We just had time to play for around 30 minutes at 1cent machines. Actually did pretty well for once. Lastly my biggest complaint is the smoking. Although they have non smoking machines they're surrounded by smoking sections. You get little relief from the smoke. The only downside to our trip here.

The food is always great, we go there regularly to eat and bet on the horses. Our sever didn't do a very good job this past time which is why I give it a 4 star. Any other time it is a 5 out of 5. Server came out, took forever to get us our water, they weren't even the one who brought us our food, everyone paid but the ones who paid with card waited 15 minutes to get the cards back. But betting was fun its generally a great place for the family (minus the casino if there is people 17 -). Service is normally good. My girlfriend (who took this photo) had the crab cake sandwich and loved every bite.

Such a fun place to take a load off. Drinks, free live music (some nights). Slots and tables are available in smoking or non smoking. Eat at one of the many restaurants. Watch a horse race... so much to do here. Win big!!

Look, this place isn't great. It isn't bad. The poker room runs 1/2 constantly. Even a 5/5 was going at one point. There's a mix of new and old slots. Friendly people. My only real gripe is that you can but chips in the poker room, but you have to walk too the cage to cash them out. That's annoying and no other casino i know does it that way. Get a small cage in the poker room.

Cool place to visit. Was here specifically to see 7 Bridges and they were great! Service was pretty good but the drinks were overpriced. Could have done without the cigarette smoke. Overall, we had a pretty good time.

My wife and I visited Hollywood Casino for the first time today and it was a very pleasant experience. The casino interior was very nice, clean spacious and well lit. In appearances, it would easily rank in the upper half of the casino's on the Vegas strip. There were also plenty of penny slot machines, way more than enough to satisfy my "non-whale" gambling desires.

Love this place. I go about once a month. I play the slots only. The food in the restaurants is excellent as well as the service. I usually eat at the Skybox. All of the employees are very nice. Great atmosphere. They have some really good bands that play there.

I have been to Vegas numerous times and this place does not compare to those casinos. Not trying to putting the establishment down but it only resembles a Casino in the fact you can go gamble there. The music at the stage is played very low, "Yes, I know it's not supposed to be a concert"...... the drink costs are OUTRAGEOUS and I mean OUTRAGEOUS! They cost more than the clubs in downtown Harrisburg. They should be 25% less or at least the same. No free drinks while gambling.... At least I never received any. Pay outs are very rare. I have easily spent over a grand in slots never won anything. Besides a few dollars here or there. No hotel, but is a nice relaxing place to go on the holidays when everything else is closed. Staff and security for the most part seems pleasant.

A bit hectic! Help was always there for you. I'm not really a gambler but know others who go every week. I got $20 worth of tokens free. I did not win anything. I did have good pizza. I saw where the horse races were. Sat up above looking around. You could see everything. Weekends they have live music. I enjoyed a fantastic group here the only time I went in the evening. Im sorry I will edit and add their name if I can get it. The music was so infectious and I was told they were favorites. I know I loved them!

The Casio itself was fantastic very animated. I love the atmosphere in this place, everyone seem nice, a lot of people spoke. They had ice cream and nice restaurant. The one thing I did not like was the smoking that's allow in there, you have to walk through the smoking section to get to the no smoking section. One I got to the non smoking section, I really had fun. I don't get out that often due to back problems, but thanks for the fun I had yesterday. I can't wait to go again.
