The property was first opened by Casino Magic Corp. as Casino Magic Bay St. Louis, which was largely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Its gaming barge floated over 7 mi (11 km) away and ended up in a forest. The ballroom at Casino Magic hosted the Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view in 1999 as well as two Ultimate Fighting Championship events UFC 15 and UFC 19.

Penn National Gaming (now Penn Entertainment) bought it from Pinnacle Entertainment in 2002 and renamed it Hollywood in 2006. [1] [2] . The casino is popular among locals for its marina, RV park, and award-winning golf course (The Bridges) designed by Arnold Palmer. [3]
