Located in the small town of Grantville, Pennsylvania, Hollywood is less than 10 miles from Hershey and the state capitol of Harrisburg. Though there have since been a few other PA casinos which have begun accepting sports wagers, those folks located far from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh will look at Hollywood as the only locale for placing sports bets outside of the major far east and far west metropolitan areas. Hollywood was the first casino in PA to accept sports bets when they opened the sportsbook’s doors during the latter stages of November 2018.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Racecourse has been the home of a lot of “firsts” as it relates to gambling in Pennsylvania, and that holds true when it comes to the sportsbook as well.
