All theScore Bet offers and terms: theScore Bet NJ bonus code page.
New players who wager $5 on casino games get 300 bonus spins on a featured slot. If you’re down after your first 24 hours, the casino refunds net losses up to $500 as casino credit. The credit carries 1x wagering.
Here’s the math. Lose $200 on day one, and you get $200 in credit. Wagering it once on slots that return 96% costs about $8 in expected losses, leaving around $192. The spins add value on top, and they arrive win or lose.
If you finish the first day ahead, the lossback doesn’t apply. You keep your winnings and the spins.
The sportsbook offer is separate. Both are on our theScore Bet promo code page.
theScore Bet Casino games
The Hollywood Casino lobby holds roughly 600 to 700 games. Most are slots from studios such as NetEnt and Red Tiger, plus a handful of Hollywood Casino-branded slots made by PENN’s own Penn Game Studios.
Table games cover blackjack, roulette and other RNG classics. The live casino runs on Evolution and includes a dedicated NJ Infinite Blackjack table, so you can usually take a seat without waiting. Jackpot choice is limited compared with the bigger NJ casinos.
theScore Bet Casino app
In New Jersey, the Hollywood Casino lobby sits inside the theScore Bet app. Your sportsbook balance and casino balance are the same, so you can move from a bet slip to a slot without a transfer. If you only want the casino, Hollywood Casino is also a standalone app.
theScore Bet is linked with theScore media app, which carries scores, stats and alerts. You can sign up anywhere, but geolocation must place you in New Jersey before you play.

theScore Bet Casino deposits and withdrawals
Payment options include debit cards, ACH/eCheck, online banking, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Trustly, Play+ and wire. There’s no cash cage option in New Jersey, because PENN doesn’t own a casino in the state.
Most withdrawals are processed within one business day, with a $10 minimum for most methods. Checks by mail take longest. As at every NJ casino, the operator can’t ask you to cancel a withdrawal once you’ve requested it.
theScore Bet Casino rewards
PENN Play enrolls you automatically and has five tiers. You earn tier points on slots, video poker and table games. Rewards include cashback, promotions and, at higher tiers, hotel and event perks at PENN properties.
Those properties are all outside New Jersey, so PENN Play suits players who travel to PENN casinos in other states.
theScore Bet Casino safety and support
theScore Bet’s casino is licensed through Resorts Casino Hotel and regulated by the Division of Gaming Enforcement. The operator is Penn Sports Interactive, part of PENN Entertainment, a public company.
Deposit, loss and time limits are in your account, as state rules require. You can self-exclude for one or five years from your account, or for life through the DGE.
How theScore Bet Casino compares
DraftKings Casino, which shares the Resorts license, has a far bigger lobby and stronger jackpots. Hard Rock Bet also combines casino and sportsbook in one app and adds Atlantic City rewards.
