I have learned to stay away from the upstairs buffet. Got sick last time eating overcooked seafood and raw turkey. I would never trust the slot machines. I suspect they are preprogrammed not to pay out big jackpots and have watched the reels sticks on several occasions. Where is the oversite? That being said the tables are a lot of fun. Not all staff are friendly, but I'm sure they only make minimum wage. My advice would be to play at the tables, bring your own food, and take time to enjoy the beach!
