Hollywood

I recently made my first trip to Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course.  Now I've been gambling before, but this was my first experience at a casino in my area and I must say, I had a lot of fun.  My favorite game to play is craps.  For those of you that have never played before, it can be a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a blast.  The best part is the group atmosphere; it's not you against a slot machine or a dealer, it's the entire craps table rooting for a single shooter.

Of course, gambling is always more fun when you're winning.  I've had my ups and downs in the few trips I've been to Hollywood Casino, but I am currently in the win column by about a hundred bucks.  I'm not sure when I'll go again, but I would like to do this more often.  The only big drawback (besides the potential to lose money) is the smoke.  Since I grew up in a house full of smokers, it doesn't bother me too much, but it is definitely something I could do without.

One last thing, apparently they don't like you taking pictures in the casino.  Not sure why this is, but it kinda stinks.  It was kind of dark out the few times I went so I didn't get any good pictures of the outside either; the picture above was provided by Google.
