If i had to take a guess I assume I am around $-60,000. This place destroyed my credit and my life. Please, please if you made it this far in my memoir, learn from me and please only gamble for fun and only what you can afford to lose. So why in the last 4 weeks have I earned 30,000 points and hit maybe 2 barely hand pay jackpots? I know they can't legally change any software/payouts without the Gaming Commision closing them down but something happened. I always play the same 4-5 games and always same betting patterns. They would never retrigger (when free games are added during the bonus round itself) I am not superstitious or an anecdotal based thinker. The majority of them would only payback less than a handful of bets back. Then RNG and variance became my nemesis, the bonus games started becoming so far between bets, I would spin over 100-200 before a bonus game would trigger. Yes it seems like a lot, but it's very rare for min bets up to $2 to win more than a hundred or 2 in a bonus game. My record was 7 JPs in one 12 hour visit, including one $9k grand progressive. From February 2021 till middle of March I had accumulated over 80,000 points, which is double the amount of their 2nd highest tier (multiplied by $5 is a lot money bet (they call this 'coin-in') It started out amazing, In those first 4ish weeks I had hit over 31 handpays (jackpots over $1200), many days multiple times. Since Covid, poker slowed down so i started playing more slots. I am usually a poker player that is occasionally a degenerate gambler and play couple hundred a week on slots. You can see the different player card tiers and 'benefits' on their website. For every $5 you bet, you earn 1 player point. This is for the upper management folks to decide which games are the most popular / makes them the most profit etc. They won't provide you with your net wins, lol, I mean losses until the end of the year during tax season.

The players card tracks every machine and $ amount you bet. For those of you that rarely visit and only come on special occasions with a couple hundred dollars, I will explain some of the basics now. I will now take you on my journey at Hollywood Casino that mostly began in February. I will try not to be all over the place but I am so, so, so very much in a dark place right now. Warning: this will be a very thorough review rant.

If this review helps just 1 person, I will be forever grateful.
