I was hoping they’d just scrap the project when Don Barden defaulted on his loan, but unfortunately that’s not the case. ---

Just think about if you went to a new place and played cold slot machines, you wouldn’t want to go there. Gotta make that good first impression. I think the Casino is a waste of space… You might as well throw your money in the river as far as slot machines are concerned. ---

I understand your concept and alot of people have the same opinion. But seriously, its not like people are going to the casino to just win money and thats all. It’s entertainment. Exactly like dave n busters… But I think it’s much more worth while to spend your hard earned money on a machine for a chance to win money back or even more… Instead of spending money to win “tickets” so you can buy your nintendo DS for 5x the amount then in stores… Spend $100 at dave n busters for a good time. Your money is gone… Spend $100 at a casino for a good time, PLUS you’ve got a chance to win it back or even walk out with a million. So really, casino’s arent any different from a dave n busters or chuck e cheese… It’s entertainment! And you could quite possibly be flushing your money down the drain if you dont know how to stop… ( even at DNB or chuckecheese ) ---

slot machines are fun, but they are money pits, i’ve won a bunch at niagra before on 20 bucks, and then lost a hundred the next hour. Table games give you a better chance, roulette is the best to play, if you’re just playing red and black you’ve got a 50/50 shot at winning. Problem is, you get greedy and start playing way too much thinking you’re a high roller, i’ve gone up a few hundred down a few hundred, up a grand, down a grand, you’ve gota know when to stop. What i do now with slots is keep two cups, one cup has my initial investment, one i put my winnings in. Once the initial investment is gone, you quit playing and cash in you’re winnings cup. ---

Closer to 47% either way because of 0/00 (green.) 35/37=.94/2=.47 I’m waiting for them to bring in the poker room. I’ll show some interest then. ---
