Our verdict

Hollywood Casino arrived in Ontario in June 2026 as PENN Entertainment's third local brand, running the same proven theScore platform as its sister sites, so it launches with a deep library of slots, live tables, and progressive jackpots plus Canadian exclusives like Blue Jays Blackjack. The catch is how new and unproven it is here: there is no published welcome offer, PENN Play rewards do not reach Ontario players, and independent reviewers have not rated the Ontario site yet, so the only score is a small Canadian App Store sample. The same operator, Score Media and Gaming, also took a $105,000 AGCO penalty in 2025 over responsible-gambling failures on its theScore brand.

Identity, licensing, platform, banking, and the game library are well-sourced (iGaming Ontario directory, the official site, and the shared theScore/PENN platform). Ratings and exact game counts are thin or disputed because the Ontario brand only launched in June 2026: the single rating is a 26-review Canadian App Store sample, and game totals range from the official 1,200+ to review-site 2,200+. The 2025 AGCO penalty sits on the shared operator (Score Media and Gaming) over its theScore brand, not Hollywood Casino specifically.
