the casino is there to make money, not for you to make money.
this is no las vegas casino environment, although I was only 12 when I visited Vegas so my memory is 10+ years old, but it's pretty unique inside for Pittsburgh. I've always enjoyed the water fountain inside the front doors.
I've only won once-- okay twice,the 2nd was $5. my boyfriend put $1 in a penny machine then hit max bet & we won $60. i usually decide we should go somewhere else when he brings up he wants to go.... you lose more altogether than total winnings.
fyi- dont waste your time or money at penny machines. the one time I won also meant a lot of losing 2 other days that I spent 10 minutes there. I graduated to the quarter machine now-- the 2 days of the year that I end up here.
