I go there more than i should and have noticed that max bet or at least higher bets are the only way with few exceptions to come out with more than you came with.....it should be noted that it will take on average 200 to 500 bucks and patience to come out on top.... staying on one machine you are comfortable with is also key....with few exceptions never play later than 8 pm or on drawing nite or fri or sat nite!...i beleive they pay early than want it and more back by evenings end... any day or weekend from opening to early evening is the key for a chance to make a few bucks and have fun...staff is great and food is slow but very good....a wise casino dealer once told me"we never close...you can come back instead of losing all your money"
