Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races

Overview

Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races is West Virginia's largest and most visited gaming facility, operated by Penn Entertainment (formerly Penn National Gaming) at the historic Charles Town Races racetrack in Jefferson County. The property sits in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia — barely 60 miles from Washington, DC and 30 miles from Dulles Airport — making it one of the most accessible major casino properties in the mid-Atlantic region. The combination of Thoroughbred horse racing tradition and comprehensive casino gaming creates a unique destination that draws heavily from the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia markets.

Charles Town has hosted Thoroughbred racing since 1933, and the casino development transformed the facility into a year-round entertainment destination. The property operates under WV gaming regulations that require a racetrack component — the "raceino" model that has driven West Virginia gaming since 1994.
