Went here today for one last hurrah for 2017. Lost as usual. Not one winning trip here for 2017, and 2016 as a matter of fact. I spend more on gas than the slots pay back. Not one hand pay, not one time I walked out with cash, nada. High limit, low rolling, whatever, you don't win shit. 500 bucks to get a bonus to trigger on a slot, and it pays your bet back, all the time, every time. You will hit the occasional 20 or 40 bucks, but when you are already down a few hundred, and in some cases, a few thousand. I'm done with this place. I left today with no desire to keep playing or go back. Anyone who says otherwise is an employee.
No good days here, only bad. Machines suck your money like a high powered super vacuum with less than your bet wins. Very rare bonus rounds on slots, and when you get a bonus, you will win your bet back. You have to lose about 10k to start accumulating free play. Machines don't keep you playing or have any play-ability, so free play is based solely off losses. I speak as a local, and have never won there.
When I lived elsewhere, I would have bad days, and good days, and great days. For example, one time I went into another casino with 20 bucks free play with no cash on me. I went to quick hit fever. 1st spin, I got the bonus and hit 9 quick hits for 3,700. Then went to raging rhino and put a 20 in. Won the progressive jackpot for 1600 second spin. Then, I would go a month or two without hitting. This doesn't happen at the Tampa Hard Rock. Never. You just lose, all the time. They don't give you a reason to come back because the place is always packed, so they don't care about locals especially.
It is a great place to visit, especially for the food and atmosphere, but just know that if you play slots here, you will lose.
I've been playing here for over 10 years,but high play in the last 2-3 yrs I've become "Elite".The slot payouts are horrible.I play 3-4x a week and always down 500-1000$.You can spend over 300 on a machine and be lucky to get one bonus.I regret ever being taken for a fool and losing my life savings.I've cycled over $150k in the machines in the last year.They take advantage of the locals knowing they have a monopoly since there aren't any casinos around for hours.I could've taken so many trips to Vegas,bought cars,designer bags..but it's all in those stupid machines.They used to give decent comps,room stays but none of it's worth it.Essentially,it's all pre-paid with the money you put in.The payouts are making them lose a very high elite player,I know many X cards who will be doing the same thing.It's ridiculous how greedy they've become.They won't care that you have no money to pay your bills,lose your house,your car.I've seen ppl living in their car in the Elite garage.It's sad it took me this long to wake up.I'm done!! Stay away unless you like donating,and not to a charity.
