By the end of August, there will be six casinos open in Maryland - a prime draw area for Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. Like West Virginia’s other casinos, Charles Town has been facing increased competition from across state lines in recent years. “In addition, one of the things we think we have is a very convenient, easily accessible and safe location.”
“The main goal is to have at least the same amount of amenities and then we believe our customer service will set us apart,” Britton told MetroNews. Future scheduled events include The Spinners and Sinbad, a comedian. “In our business, convenience is very important, how close you’re located to folks, but folks will drive the extra time if you have a reason for them to come and entertainment events are certainly that special reason,” said Al Britton, general manager for Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.Ĭreedence Clearwater Revisited, featuring two former members of Creedence Clearwater Revival, performed the inaugural show at the Hollywood Casino’s new event center this weekend. That’s the hope, at least, of casino officials who officially opened a new, 1,200-seat concert venue at the Jefferson County casino - the largest in West Virginia - on Saturday. Concerts could bring more gamblers to Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.
