Hollywood Casino Perryville: the property and its location
Property and location research updated 26 October 2026.
Maryland’s first casino, in Cecil County
Hollywood Casino Perryville occupies a particular place in Maryland's modern casino history: the state regulator records its opening on September 27, 2010. That predates the other five properties on Maryland's current casino list, which opened progressively through 2016. Its location in Cecil County also distinguishes it from the larger metropolitan properties around Baltimore and Washington. Understanding that geography helps explain why a Perryville visit is not simply a smaller version of a central-city resort stay. The surrounding town offers riverfront and railway history rather than an urban entertainment district. This guide treats the casino as one specific local business, not as evidence that gambling is necessary to experience the town. Its historical importance concerns the development of Maryland's casino industry, not any promise about a visitor's results. The operator lists its current address as 1201 Chesapeake Overlook Parkway, Perryville.

Operation and real-estate ownership are different
A public regulatory report dated March 25, 2025 clarifies the property's corporate history. The casino's operations returned to the PENN group on July 1, 2021, while its real estate remained leased from Gaming and Leisure Properties. The report also records the parent company's change from Penn National Gaming to PENN Entertainment in August 2022. These distinctions matter because a property owner, operating company and customer-facing casino name need not be identical. They also help reconcile older descriptions that identify different companies without explaining their roles. The document was prepared for a licence-renewal consideration; a recommendation inside it should not be mistaken for a separate final approval. Here it is used for its dated corporate history, rather than as an assertion about subsequent regulatory decisions.

Dining ranges from quick service to a seated meal
The current operator dining page identifies the Sportsbook Restaurant and Bar, Hollywood Express and Sunset Bar as distinct offerings. The restaurant combines seated dining with television screens, while Hollywood Express describes quicker options including burgers, salads and pizza slices. Weekend brunch is listed for Saturdays and Sundays between eleven in the morning and two in the afternoon, alongside the regular menu. Those differences make it possible to distinguish a meal stop from a longer restaurant visit without relying on a generic claim that every outlet offers the same service. Menus and operating hours should be checked for the intended day. These are facilities identified at Perryville; references elsewhere in the operator's network to hotels or destination packages do not establish an on-site hotel here.

September figures describe the business, not customer outcomes
Maryland Lottery and Gaming's October 5, 2026 release reports that Hollywood Casino generated US$6,749,943 in gaming revenue during September 2026. That was 6.3 percent above September 2025. The same release lists 714 slot machines and eighteen table games for the property, placing its scale in a dated, independently published context. These figures describe casino gaming revenue, not net profit, attendance or the amount an individual visitor might spend. They should not be used to predict player outcomes or to suggest that increased business revenue benefits customers financially. The reporting period is September, although the announcement appeared in October. Readers comparing properties should keep that distinction intact and use equivalent periods, rather than compare one month's result with another property's annual headline.

Rodgers Tavern connects Perryville with river travel
Rodgers Tavern Museum places the surrounding town within a much longer transport story. Its account connects the eastern bank of the Susquehanna River with ferry operations, accommodation and the movement of people and goods. The museum deliberately includes working lives alongside prominent visitors: proprietors, women, free workers and enslaved people all form part of its interpretation. That broader approach makes the site more than a collection of anecdotes about famous guests. The property later served railroad-related housing, was saved through preservation activity in the twentieth century and became town-owned in 1993. It reopened as a museum in 2017. For a casino-directory reader, this is useful independent local context: Perryville's identity developed around river crossings and transportation long before contemporary entertainment businesses arrived.

Plan a museum visit around an appointment or event
The museum's visitor page is unusually important because it separates public access from office hours. Rodgers Tavern opens during events and by appointment; the Thursday and Friday office schedule is not a promise of unrestricted museum admission. Group tours are currently listed as unavailable. The address is 259 Broad Street, with on-site parking and one designated accessible parking space. Inside, interpretive panels support self-paced exploration, while the grounds connect the site with the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route. These practical details favour checking an event or arranging an appointment before setting out. They also prevent a misleading itinerary that assumes every historic attraction operates daily. The museum is a separate town attraction, not a casino amenity or an activity automatically included with a restaurant visit.

Community Park offers a different waterfront setting
Perryville Community Park provides a more open-air way to understand the town's setting. The municipal description identifies a 168.5-acre site at 100 Marion Tapp Parkway, with active recreation occupying only part of that area. Listed facilities include water access, a fishing pier, sports areas, an inclusive playground and picnic pavilions. The town advises visitors to bring their own sports equipment and notes the absence of electricity and running water. Published access runs from seven-thirty in the morning until sunset, making daylight a more useful planning reference than a casino's opening schedule. The park offers a contrast to indoor entertainment without requiring participation in gambling. Its facilities should be understood as municipal recreation, with their own conditions, rather than services managed by Hollywood Casino.

Railway heritage remains visible on Broad Street
The Perryville Railroad Museum adds another layer to the location story. The town places it at 650 Broad Street within the MARC station and records its opening on December 7, 1996. Volunteers from the Perryville chapter of the National Railway Historical Society maintain a collection of photographs, memorabilia and a model railway representing Norfolk Southern and Amtrak movements through the town. Its purpose includes recognising the people who worked on the railroad, not merely displaying locomotives as scenery. The town's posted visiting schedule identifies weekend afternoon access or an appointment, which should be reconfirmed before travel. A museum housed in a station does not establish a direct casino shuttle or a convenient connecting service. Transport arrangements and museum access remain separate questions for visitors.
