Biographical / Historical Note
Hollywood Casino Corporation was founded in 1990 by the Pratt Hotel Corporation and was based in Dallas, Texas. Pratt Hotel Corporation, after acquiring a hotel casino in Puerto Rico in 1975 and the Sands Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1981, decided to enter the gambling industry by establishing Hollywood Casino Corporation and divested many of the hotels it owned during the process. Hollywood Casino Corporation operated several hotel casinos and riverboat casinos in Illinois, Mississippi, and Louisiana with decor inspired by movies and classic film. In 2003, Hollywood Casino Corporation was acquired by Penn National Gaming Inc. for approximately $328 million.
