Dont judge a book by its cover this casino is larger than you think. I would like more no smoking areas but the ventilation is good and I didnt leave smelling like cigarettes. The slots are fun but the tables are crowded. More

“Skybox Restaurant at the Casino.....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

The casino is actually pretty nice, but I want to talk about the Skybox restaurant in particular. The food is not bad, as long as you have a few hours to waste. Service is slow, and I am not sure if it is a factor of the waitress, bartender, or cook, but you can't seem to get anything accomplished in... More

people found this review helpful

OK, Saturday night might not have been the best choice or a night to check out the Hollywood Casino at the Charles Town Races as it seemed like most of rural NW Virginia, Western MD, and NE WV were all here. Whew! I was over-dressed wearing a polo shirt and jeans washed within the last week. The casino is almost... More

“Average casino”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2012

Spent a few hours at the casino May 1 and while I was not expecting the same type of casino you would find in Las Vegas, I did expect to find some of the newer slot machine games. They had quite a selection but seemed to be the older slot games. So I was somewhat disappointed. While it was not... More

and that's what this place does. Bring money. And you will leave it all in their machines. We took the ride out here on a Sunday afternoon. Do the ride during the day, its about an hour or a little more from DC and very pretty. The casino has everything you would want. Dark, very smoky, and very busy. The... More
