Back in November, the Hollywood Poker Open (HPO) kicked off the first of its eight stops in Season 3 by visiting the Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. That Main Event attracted a record-setting HPO field of 207 players and saw Jesse McEuen emerge victorious to capture the $49,676 first-place prize.

120 reviews of Hollywood Casino Toledo 'I've only been once but I had a much better experience than Hollywood Columbus which is my regular stop. First, they actually have drink waitresses making rounds at the tables.
The HPO looks to build on that success from Feb. 5-16 at the Hollywood Casino in Toledo, Ohio. The stop will have a dozen “featured events” culminating in the $1,115 HPO Regional Main Event on Saturday, Feb. 14 at 12:15 p.m. In addition, the stop will feature numerous satellites and side events.
2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker is confirmed to be at the HPO Toledo, and of course the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to capture all the Main Event action in our live blog.
'PokerNews is excited to be continuing its partnership with the Hollywood Poker Open into the upcoming season, and we will once again be providing live coverage from each of the Regional and Championship Main Events,' PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Donnie Peters previously said. 'We are looking forward to helping the tour grow and highly recommend all poker players add some HPO stops to their tournament schedule.'
Each stop in Season 3 includes a Main Event as well as qualifiers for the season-ending championship at the M Resort Casino Spa in Las Vegas. Last season, the HPO sent more than 200 promotional winners to the Championship Event. HPO Tournament Director Bill Bruce says the plan is the same in Season 3.
'We plan to not only give away hundreds of seats to the Championship again, but we will also implement similar seat winner promotions to the Regional tournament series as well,' said Bruce, who has served as the HPO director since the tour's inception. 'These HPO tournament fields are such a great mix of traveling poker professionals and local promotion winners which makes the tournaments really attractive to all levels of poker players.'

Hollywood Casino Toledo is a casino in Toledo, Ohio, that opened on May 29, 2012.[1] The casino is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn National Gaming, and has 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2) of gaming space, with 2,002 slot machines, 60 table games, and 20 poker tables.[2]
History[edit]
After four failed attempts since 1990 to legalize casinos in Ohio, a fifth proposal was placed on the ballot in 2009 to allow casinos at four specific sites, one in each of the state's largest cities.[3] The major backers were Penn National, which would build the casinos in Toledo and Columbus, and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who would develop the Cleveland and Cincinnati properties.[4] Critics charged that Penn National did not truly intend to build the Toledo casino, which would face stiff competition from Detroit casinos, and only wanted to generate support from local voters.[5] Nevertheless, the measure passed, with 53 percent support both in Lucas County and the state as a whole.[4]
Days before the election, Penn National had struck a deal with Lakes Entertainment, a Minnesota-based gaming operator whose 2008 Ohio casino proposal Penn had fought hard to defeat.[6] Lakes paid for 10 percent of the referendum campaign, and received an option to invest in up to 10 percent of the Toledo and Columbus casinos.[7] Penn National bought out Lakes's interest in the projects for $25 million before construction began, after Lakes had paid $1.9 million.[8]
After the measure passed, Penn National exercised its option to buy the 44-acre property on the Maumee River at Interstate 75, site of a former Pilkington glass plant, for $2.5 million.[9][10] Construction began in August 2010.[11]
In 2011, Governor John Kasich agreed to allow video lottery terminals at Ohio's seven racetracks, including Penn National's Raceway Park in Toledo.[12] To avoid having its own racino compete with the Hollywood Casino, Penn sought state approval to move Raceway Park to the Youngstown area.[13]
In 2015, Hollywoodcasino.com was introduced as the digital casino for all Hollywood properties.[14]
