Hollywood Park Casino Marks 10 Years at Inglewood Site with 650 Employees and $5.15 Million in Annual Card-Club Fees

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

The 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 originally established in 1994. Management estimates the investment at approximately $100 million, excluding real estate.

Operational Scale and Community Returns

The casino employs approximately 650 people. A majority of its current workforce has served since the 2016 opening, with some employees retained from the original 1994 site. 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 property operates 125 gaming tables featuring Texas Hold’em, Omaha, baccarat and “No Bust” blackjack, alongside simulcast horse racing wagering. Hospitality venues include Century Bar & Grill, Raise Lounge and the Turf Club. Outdoor decks accommodate fans before and after Chargers home games. The site also displays artwork by Mickalene Thomas, Matt Wedel and photographer Michele Asselin.

Event Horizon and Operator Continuity

The casino sits within walking distance of SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome. A 300-room Kali Hotel under development at Hollywood Park will expand local accommodation capacity. LA28’s Inglewood zone will host swimming, basketball, Olympic and Paralympic opening ceremonies and the Main Press Center.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

Anniversary activities run from October 17 through October 24, including an October 22 appearance by mentalist Jon Stetson. Promotions are restricted to guests aged 21 and older. The property is owned by Stockbridge Capital Group and operated by Hollywood Park Casino Company, LLC.
