I've read a lot of negative reviews concerning the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows.
My experience was very different. I played blackjack, the dealer (Anthony) and Pit Boss (Steve) were very nice, professional and engaging. The clientele were very nice, which isn't always the case in a casino.
The casino was very clean, the food court was ok, wasn’t expecting a five star experience there.
I stayed at the Hyatt, very nice, clean, staff was very friendly.
I would come back here the next time I’m driving thru.
Ever since Penn National/Hollywood took over, the place is going downhill. Owners expect players to bet $10-25-50 on slot games to hit. They have the minimum for wait staff, so getting a drink takes forever. The vents in the bathrooms have green mold growing on them. Freeplay is a joke, all the contests just give freeplay, no real money. Its a shame because years ago it was a nice place to go where you could stay a few hours on a few hundred bucks, now you lose about $300/hr.
9/29/19 - Disappointing that there we so many downed slot machines. Had fun there though with what they had. Got to sit at the bar, play video poker, watch the NE Patriots won & have free Stella Artois!!
Slot play is not fun and the payouts are a joke, it doesn't matter what denomination you play. Drink prices have skyrocketed. Not a fun atmosphere at all.
The new owners have ruined this place . they just take all the money in and you can't win a thing. Seniors definitely can't afford this casino anymore. Most I know have gone back to WVa
