Hollywood Casino York opened on 12 August 2021 inside the York Galleria Mall in Springettsbury Township, as Pennsylvania's second mini-casino. It rates 3.8 from around 1,800 Google reviewers.
That review count is thin against how often the property is searched for, and the explanation is straightforward: five years is not long enough to build the ratings base an established casino carries. The demand is real.
What's on the floor
Roughly 80,000 square feet holding more than 500 video reel slot and video poker machines, and 24 live table games — blackjack, craps, roulette, mini baccarat and others.
The live pit is the thing worth knowing. Pennsylvania's Category 4 satellites vary on this point and the difference matters: Parx Casino Shippensburg, forty minutes west, runs only electronic tables, while York has real dealers. If you want a felt table in south-central Pennsylvania, York is the closer option of the two.
At opening, the property drew attention for operating largely cashless, an early adoption of a system most casinos have since moved towards.
There is a Barstool Sportsbook and race book on site. The race book matters more here than the sportsbook for some visitors, since it covers simulcast wagering on tracks nationwide without a drive to Penn National.
Dining
Two outlets: Diner & Drinks, a casual restaurant and bar, and the Classic Grill for grab-and-go.
That is deliberately lean — this is a gaming floor with food attached, not a resort, and the property employs around 290 people rather than the thousands a full casino carries.
The mall location
Being inside a shopping mall is genuinely useful rather than a curiosity. Parking is covered and free, there is somewhere for non-gamblers in your group to go, and the whole thing is weatherproof — which counts for something in a Pennsylvania January.
The mall itself has changed considerably around the casino, and the gaming floor is now one of the anchors of the property rather than a tenant tucked into a corner.
It also means the property has a different rhythm from a standalone casino. Weekday afternoons are quiet in a way a highway-side floor rarely is.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble, the minimum age at every Pennsylvania casino.
The casino is open 24 hours, seven days a week — worth noting, because several of Pennsylvania's other satellite floors close overnight.
There is no hotel on site. York itself has plenty of accommodation a short drive away.
Nearby alternatives
