The Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino will have its second live money wagering test day from 2 p.m. to midnight Nov. 16. Upon final regulatory approval from the PGCB, regular hours of operation will be 11 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday

The company's Pennsylvania sportsbook will be managed by William Hill US, the largest sports betting operator in the United States.

Great decision outside company with experience ^!:<strike></strike>

My Hollywood Casino sports book review/opinion:

When you walk into the book, the parlay cards, etc are to the right behind the seating & next to the odds boards......The odds boards are eye level when standing, love how the sports book is set up. The odds boards have every sport available, on Sunday they had 1st half, 2nd half & live in game wagering on all games, as the regular spread & ML's & totals.

They also have the odds boards right behind the teller counter, where you can check out the odds as you're standing in line or in front of the teller wondering what the line is......William Hill & Hollywood did a good job with the set up.

The TVs are set up just right, plenty of seating.....they haven't advertised yet, so the line wasn't too crazy 30 minutes before kickoff. They have 4 to 6 tellers on Sunday.

The tellers & managers are friendly & answered any questions we had.....will be interesting to see how busy they get after they advertise sports betting.

Can't wait until mobile/online betting starts........

Also, my cousin asked what the limit to win on parlays before paying taxes, the teller stated 300-1 or more on your wager.......this is the new Pa law.


Hollywood is also opening up 5 new restaurants inside the casino in Dec.......ive always wondered how busier the casino could be if they had built a hotel on the premises......there is a hotel down the road, so I'm assuming that hotel gets a lot of casino patrons.
