Hollywood Park Casino marks 10 years in Inglewood ahead of Super Bowl LXI and LA28

Hollywood Park Casino is marking its 10th anniversary at its current Inglewood location as the surrounding entertainment district prepares for Super Bowl LXI in 2027 and the Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028.

The casino employs approximately 650 people, with a majority of its current workforce having served since the present facility opened in 2016. Some employees have remained with the business since its original establishment in 1994.

The property’s operations contribute to municipal revenue and community fundraising. Inglewood’s adopted budget recorded $5.15 million in card-club monthly fees collected during fiscal year 2024–25. A casino-hosted poker tournament benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles raised more than $52,000 for youth programs in 2024.

The 24-hour casino operates 125 gaming tables, offering Texas Hold’em, Omaha, baccarat, and “No Bust” blackjack, alongside simulcast horse racing wagering. Its hospitality facilities include Century Bar & Grill, Raise Lounge and the Turf Club, while outdoor-deck gatherings accommodate fans before and after Chargers home games.

The property also displays artwork by artists including Mickalene Thomas and Matt Wedel, alongside Michele Asselin’s photographs documenting the former racetrack.

The current 110,000-square-foot building opened in September 2016 as the first new venue in the Hollywood Park redevelopment. Relocating the casino enabled stadium construction while preserving the business established in 1994. Management estimates the investment at approximately $100 million, excluding real estate.

“A great entertainment district needs places people return to between its biggest events,” said Christopher Meany, Executive Managing Director of Hollywood Park Casino Company, LLC. “Hollywood Park Casino was an early investment in that idea. Its next decade is an opportunity to welcome a broader audience while continuing to serve the people who come here every week.”

Nearby SoFi Stadium will host Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027, while LA28’s Inglewood zone will accommodate swimming, basketball, Olympic and Paralympic opening ceremonies, and the Main Press Center. The 300-room Kali Hotel, currently under development at Hollywood Park, will expand local accommodation capacity.

Located within walking distance of SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome, the casino provides gaming, dining and private event facilities for visitors attending events in the district.

“Our longtime employees know what keeps regulars coming back,” said Deven Kumar, General Manager of Hollywood Park Casino. “As more people discover this part of Los Angeles, we want that same sense of welcome to be part of their first visit.”

Anniversary activities run from October 17 through October 24, including an October 22 appearance by mentalist Jon Stetson. Gaming and anniversary promotions are restricted to guests aged 21 and older. 

“Hollywood Park Casino’s future starts with the people who have sustained it: our employees, our guests and the organizations we work with. As Inglewood welcomes visitors from around the world, we want to build on those relationships, bringing people together in ways that benefit this community for years to come,” said Maria Canchola, Director of Marketing and Communications at Hollywood Park Casino.

Located at 3883 W. Century Boulevard, Hollywood Park Casino is owned by Stockbridge Capital Group and operated by gambling-enterprise license holder Hollywood Park Casino Company, LLC.
