There is a very limited amount of machines and I can see them running out of chairs on a busy night. There is not an 'open, airy' feel at all about the place. The venue is laid out with a very limited amount of floor space. Of the three new venues, in this reviewer's opinion, Hollywood Dayton lags behind the pack. The 'slots' are technically 'Video Lottery Terminals' and are monitored by the Ohio State Lottery Commission. This venue, like the other racinos in Ohio, does not allow table gaming, or video poker. This being the Third Installment of the 'Racino genre' following Miami Valley Gaming and Belterra Park. There has been an abundance of Racinos that have been built in this part of Ohio the last year. I Was drawn here to investigate Penn National Gaming's newest venue in the Southwestern Ohio region. As you will see, all of my reviews are very complimentary but this place is on my Never Again list because of this experience. I wrote an e-mail to the management and have not received a reply. Over all, the facility looks nice and the entertainment seemed good but we will NEVER eat there again. The third waitress came past and I asked her to find our waitress. (After waiting for someone else to get drinks.) She said no and that I had to pay my waitress. (She did take one of the meals off.) I went to the bar to ask if she could take my payment. Since it was now 9:30 and the fireworks were starting, we said no and asked for the bill. Eventually, our 'real' waitress came to the table and asked if we wanted another. When it finally did come out, the Prime Rib was cooked completely brown all the way through and was so tough it couldn't be eaten. I went to the restroom and saw people who were after us leaving having eaten. She went back to check on our meal since it had been 45 minutes. Much later, I saw a third waitress that I recognized from another place. Even though she looked at us much earlier when at the table next to ours. After another 10 minutes or so, OUR waitress came over and asked how long we had been there. Again, announcing that she wasn't our waitress but hated to see us wait. After another wait, the same waitress (not ours) returned and took our order. Another waitress kept watching us and came over offering to get drinks for us. 20 minutes after being seated, we still had not seen our waitress. The experience of the Skybox was HORRIBLE. We did not play the slots due to lack of time. Since it was only 7:50, we felt we had time to grab the 'Special' of Prime Rib before the fireworks.

We visited Hollywood Gaming on a night when there were fireworks scheduled.
