Hollywood Gaming in Austintown has added 100 new games through a smoking patio expansion, bringing the Ohio racino’s total to 1,100 video lottery terminals across its gaming areas.
The expanded patio opened about two weeks before WKBN.com’s Nov. 5 report. It provides space equivalent to 60 feet by 50 feet and permits smoking under state law, according to the outlet.
Erich Zimny told WKBN.com that customer demand drove the expansion.
“Without the demand for our product, there wouldn’t be a need to expand our facility, so great response from our guests,” Zimny said.
The patio offers games similar to those available inside the racino. Zimny said guests would find many of the same themes and video lottery terminals as on the main gaming floor.
Hollywood Gaming opened in 2014. It added a smoking patio in 2016, when doing so became legal, and expanded that patio again in 2018.
The Austintown venue operates around the clock and has 330 workers during horse racing season, WKBN.com reported.
