About this business
About Hollywood Casino
Hollywood Casino, the marquee US name from Penn Entertainment, is registered with AGLC for Alberta's regulated online market opening July 13, 2026 — one of three Penn-registered brands in the province. Conducted and managed by the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), the casino will be available to Alberta players from Calgary once live.
Expect the PENN Play omnichannel rewards program and Penn Game Studios exclusives. AGLC registration is only the first regulatory step; a firm real-money launch also depends on the operator's AiGC agreement and technical and self-exclusion testing, so confirm the brand on AGLC's current register before playing.
Hollywood Casino and Alberta's regulated market
Alberta becomes Canada's second competitive regulated iGaming market when it opens on July 13, 2026. Reaching launch is a two-step process: an operator first registers with Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC), then signs a commercial agreement with the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC), which conducts and manages the market — the same structure Ontario has used with iGaming Ontario since 2022. Hollywood Casino has cleared the first step; a firm go-live still depends on that AiGC agreement plus technical and self-exclusion testing. Registered is not the same as live, so the reliable check is AGLC's current list of registered operators.
What to expect from Hollywood Casino
The PENN Play omnichannel rewards program and Penn Game Studios exclusives. Exact game availability, payment methods and any Alberta welcome offer will be confirmed when the province goes live.
