This is quite a shame as this is really a beautiful facility. While we were planning to spend another day in the Columbus area and return to the casino, we have now opted to move on as there is no incentive to return to Hollywood. There are also several Hollywood Casino Columbus poker tournaments organized every week, with buy-ins usually ranging from 50 to 200. Players can try Limit and No-Limit Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and Limit Omaha Hi-Lo.
Clearly there was no play time nor was there a sense of 'fair play.' Without a doubt, this was the worst paying casino that any of us have ever been to. The poker room in Hollywood Casino Columbus features 34 live tables running every day, from 10 a.m. We consistently fed the machines and from the moment a $100 bill was inserted, each of us experienced an immediate and never ending downturn.
Collectively, we have never experienced a casino with such tight machines. I visited Hollywood with a group of five friends, all regular gamblers as well. While most visits will result in a loss of money, most casinos will allow winning hands, or even jackpots, that will provide the player with some enjoyable play time, and even the anticipation that they may win.
Nonetheless, I readily accept this as I do enjoy gambling and find video poker quite entertaining. I am completely attuned to the fact that all said and done, the casino has the advantage and most visits to any casino will ultimately result in a financial loss. Admittedly, I am a frequent gambler and visit many casinos throughout the country.
