. "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.\nObjectively speaking (which is my primary language), \"A-OK\" is a perfect expression for this place.\nI've been here twice. Once back in 2004 or 5, shortly after it opened, and again last night.\nI 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.\nIn 2003, I had classified it as a low-grade, locals casino (if Yelp had existed back then, I would have given it 2 stars.)\nBut after going there again, I have raised it to an average locals casino.\nThere 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. \nBut, that's a good thing. I really liked the variety of penny slots in this place.\nI've read some of the other reviews, and yes, it is smoky, dingy, dark, etc., but most locals casinos are.\nI 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.\nI particularly liked the casino-floor staff, (waiters, waitresses, the people who empty the ashtrays, etc.).\nAlthough 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.\nI'm scratching my head, trying to remember another person in that capacity, chatting like that. It was nice. \nI don't have the foggiest clue about the restaurants, valet, or anything else, accept for the casino floor, and it was fine by me.\n3-stars."^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
