This thread starts the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town thread anew. Now that the room is open, we're leaving behind the baggage of guessing and complaining without information. Here is the place to complain WITH information
I will quote the few Trip Reports that have been provided so far since opening.

When is time rake taken?
If the dealer sits down and everyone tosses him 7 bucks, what happens when a new guy gets seated 10 minutes into the down? The question is, at what point does a new player also pay for the down?
New players usually do not have to pay time until the next dealer after they sit down. So say you sit down 5 mins after a new dealer sits, you don’t pay until a dealer change.

Dinner Break
If you want to go on dinner break you have up to 1 1/2 hours.
When you come back, your name goes to the top of the list of the game that you left.
So you can't leave a 1/2 and come back to a 2/5 you'd just go on the regular 2/5 list.
If you return within an hour you MUST bring back the full amount you left with.
If you return between 1 and 1 1/2 hours you MAY bring back the full amount
or reduce your stack.
