HOLLYWOOD CASINO, HOTEL & RACEWAY
NEWS
They'll soon be rolling the dice at the Hollywood Casino in Bangor, Maine.

AP reports that the casino is adding craps to its offering of gambling options beginning Friday. The casino has had slot machines since it opened as Maine's first casino in 2005, and added blackjack, poker and roulette earlier this year. General Manager John Osborne says customers have been asking that craps be added to the mix, but the casino doesn't have enough craps dealers for the table to operate daily. That could change next year after a new round of table games operators completes training courses at Eastern Maine Community College.

Craps will officially debut at 5 p.m. Friday and will be open to play from 5 p.m. to closing on Fridays and Saturdays.

Hollywood also expects this to be the best year ever as they continue to offer new table games. As of now, they offer Poker, Blackjack, 3 card poker, Texas Hold 'em, and Roulette. After a slight dip in revenue last year, they expect to be more than 3 million more than last year.
