I'm not sure I've ever seen a Midwest casino that close before. The casino is located RIGHT OFF I-75 I kid you not, it'snmaybe a 100 yards off the interstate. Toledo is about 2 hours from where I live, and the drive is surprisingly easy, despite it being highway most of the way. On a whim, I decided to drive up last night and check it out. HCT is also close enough to the Michigan markets where gambling has been present for years. Scioto Downs is only slots and VP, so I'll get down there eventually, but I guess the crowds are still ridiculous.
I normally reserve reports like these to my blog, but Hollywood Casino- Toledo (HCT) opened up last Monday to relatively less fanfare, since Horseshoe Cleveland was the first (and more prominent) and Scioto Downs covered the Central Ohio market pretty well.
