Long time gambler at CT from the days of the tent.. and the days of winning. However, those days are long gone..As others might agree the glamor of the newer and larger casino is being clouded by not only the smoke from smokers but the big disappointment of losing hundreds of dollars in just a few hours... I used to live 30 minutes away but moved hours away. Made a trip up from NC for a couple of nights which turn into one night after losing the alotted amount for the getaway. Hotel was very nice (had to get a suite because no reg. rooms were available.. $239.00 a night). Shuttle service from hotel to casino and back very slow. Letting others know hotel is not connected to casino. It was a pain in the butt to get there. Food over priced. Drinks a joke (no fault of the bartender) $5.00 for a 1/8 shot of well vodka out of the gun. Machines didn't even let you play a little bit. It's safe to say I will never be back. Final thought 0 should be a rating choice ... Fair well others beware.

What a surprise, Hollywood Casino hasn't had a BIG PROMOTION for the last 5 months. Is it a coincidence that the latest
drawing is on the night that slots open in MD? No, this is just another SCAM to try and keep the few slots customers left.
And I can tell you, visiting Hollywood Casino CT these days, 70% of the slots are idle even on a weekend. They no longer
have a WINNERS link on their website, maybe because there are no winners, unless you count the minimal $1,200 occasional
jackpot?

This is the deal, CTRS has over expanded, they need your dollars to keep operating, not to make payouts on slots. Table games
are supposed to be the almighty savior. And from the reviews, this has also been a total disaster. By the way, your dollars are also needed so Penn National can open in MD, as well as fighting opposition from competitors, mainly Cordish at Arundel Mills. So keep going to Hollywood Casino and filling the deposit boxes (slots). Penn National will be grateful!

I live in Fairfax County so I was really excited when they announced they would open table games at Charles Town. I went with some friends a couple weeks ago, and I have to say it was extremely disappointing. Here are the reasons:

1. Not enough table games. They clearly did not plan very well for the table games. They only have one tiny section of table games. Consequently, there were no empty chairs at any of the tables, and even people waiting behind each seat for someone to leave.
2. Table minimums were horrible. For example $50 minimum Blackjack. This is probably due to issue 1 about not enough tables.
3. Poker Room not large enough - After we left the table game area we decided to try the poker room. There was a 150 person wait list to play 1-2 No Limit. Who wants to stand around waiting 3-4 hours just to play?
4. Casino layout sucks. It feels like they jammed as many slot machines as possible into a Wal-Mart. It took a long time to even find the table games or the poker room as you have to wander around aimlessly in this sprawling maze of slot machines. They don't even have normal "walkways" between the slot machines for foot traffic so everyone has to try and weave in and out of the stupid machines.

My advice - Do not go here unless you want to sit like a zombie at a penny slot machine. You're better off going up to Delaware or PA or even Atlantic City for table games or poker.

Hollywood Casino Charlestown, new name same game. This place is fighting to stay in business. After spending 41 million to get table games, they think they can set table limits so high, no one can afford to play. Sure the extremist will pay this at first, but what do you do a few months down the road after you have all but chased away all local customers. They have already lost slots players, no payouts. Even eliminated the winners page on the website. These are no longer slots, but deposit boxes for folks to come and deposit money to fund over expansion at CTRS. BOYCOTT!

I have been waiting, rooting, voting for tableg ames to come to CT for a long time. Finally they came and guess what ---- the people who voted to get the tables in are unable to play them!!!!! I have been there 4 times and there was no $5. - $10 - $15 - $25 table to be found. All I saw was $50. and $100. tables!!!!! GREEEDY GREEDY GREEDY They will price themselves right out of regular local customers after the hype is over!!!! DO NOT GO and help out the GREEDY casino!!!!!! It is cheaper to drive to either Delaware park ($10.00 tables) or AC. much cheaper to just drive there -
