Hollywood Park Casino near Los Angeles International Airport in Inglewood, California has changed hands. New management is in place, and the casino regulars are not happy.

Management changed Monday morning.

Among the current complaints:

Many of the dealers and floor supervisors were fired. There are new dealers, many of whom are working in a casino for the first time, and there are managers and supervisors who reportedly came in from casinos in Northern California.

The entire waiter and waitress staff for the kitchen was fired. The entire kitchen menu was changed. I played there Wednesday afternoon and all of the orders came out very late with some players waiting an hour or longer for a burger or scrambled eggs. French fries, toast and even the entres came out from the kitchen cold. The wait staff didn't bring to the players high tables for their meals and served the meals on the low "drink tables." So players had to ask for the high tables to eat.

The computer system is down so there is no "sign up board" for the games. A floorman kept a list with a yellow legal pad.

There was a shortage of dealers, so dealers had to work longer schedules at the tables and this led to some errors and complaints.

Chip runners no longer carry chips. If you want to buy chips, the chip runners have to go to the cage to make the purchase and this causes delays.

Lower limit games have been removed from the casino. Omaha has been eliminated. $1/$2 stud has been eliminated as has $2/$24 limit. There are fewer $40 no limit games.

The players card promotions have been suspended and players could not redeem their comps to pay for meals or to get cash. Casino staffers say the players club program will return and credits will carry over.

Hollywood Park used to offer free coffee, water and tea to players but now players are asked to pay $2 for a cup of coffee.

The new owners are from the same group that plans to get rid of the Hollywood Park race track and replace it with a planned community featuring homes, shopping, office buildings and more. The casino which is in the race track grandstand building is supposed to be moved to a new building closer to Century Boulevard.
