| - It's really tough to be objective when you rate a casino, because they tend to get more stars if you win money, and less stars when you lose.
Objectively speaking (which is my primary language), "A-OK" is a perfect expression for this place.
I've been here twice. Once back in 2004 or 5, shortly after it opened, and again last night.
I went last night because I happened to be on that side of town, and I wanted to catch the 4th quarter of an NBA play-off game.
In 2003, I had classified it as a low-grade, locals casino (if Yelp had existed back then, I would have given it 2 stars.)
But after going there again, I have raised it to an average locals casino.
There are tons of machines, to the point where I couldn't find the one I was just playing after I took my hourly bathroom break.
But, that's a good thing. I really liked the variety of penny slots in this place.
I've read some of the other reviews, and yes, it is smoky, dingy, dark, etc., but most locals casinos are.
I liked the fact that were not a lot of loud, drunk, annoying, young people in there, and the patrons closer to my age were friendly enough.
I particularly liked the casino-floor staff, (waiters, waitresses, the people who empty the ashtrays, etc.).
Although my slant-top machine was relatively clean, a staff member insisted on wiping off the screen and the drink-rest, all the while chatting cautiously but with a friendly tone.
I'm scratching my head, trying to remember another person in that capacity, chatting like that. It was nice.
I don't have the foggiest clue about the restaurants, valet, or anything else, accept for the casino floor, and it was fine by me.
3-stars.
