I believe the higher denomimation BJ tables offered better rules. Craps also offered the newer raft of bets (small/tall etc). The $5 BJ was the usual horrible Vegas-strip rules (6-5 blackjack payoff, hit on soft 17, etc), and craps offered 5X odds. $5 BJ and craps were available throughout Saturday afternoon and early evening - but I think the craps table went to $10 in the late evening. The majority of the floor is given to penny slots (although if it costs 0.60 to activate all the lines, should it really be called a penny slot?).

There were about 20 VP machines, mostly multi-game machines with 9-6 double bonus, all in one area of the casino floor, with denominations of 0.25 or $1. The machines were clean and well-maintained, but you won't find very many of the newest big name games.

I was there on a Saturday, and never struggled to find an machine I wanted to try, and could usually find a spot for BJ or craps. The casino floor is small - but that makes sense given the small population served. We had the Sunday brunch buffet and it also was excellent, with a variety equal to the larger casinos down south, but we ranked the Hollywood as superior in food quality and taste. We had the poutine, fish and chips, and a blue-cheese burger at the bar/grill, and they were excellent, and not radically overpriced. There are only three food options - a bar/grill, a quick snack place, and a buffet. As a locals place, the Hollywood caters to an afternoon/evening crowd and shuts down for at least 3 hours every night. I really can't say whether the Hollywood is 'tighter' than the others, but I personally had better luck with the Hollywood slots than I have had at otehr places. For the record, I've played at the mega-casinos in CN, and I've lost money pretty quickly there (and won some too). We (wife: advanced recreational VP player me, checkskate misc player and tourist) stayed here for one night (Saturday) and played that night and on Sunday morning.įirst point - this is CLEARLY a locals casino - 90% of the whining posted here has some truth in it if you are fans of the mega-casinos in MA and CN, but as a locals casino the Hollywood has its own appeal.
