Read moreAn excellent example of a casino, two floors that i feel are segregated between smaller to mid tier gambling on the ground floor, and more of a high roller experience upstairs as the machines only accept notes. Great variance of machines (manual, video, poker, roulette) and also runs live games frequently. Staff are respectful and very helpful, even offer free food throughout the day. A lovely smoking area which offers the option of taking the food from the chippers next door (which has no seating) and taking it there to enjoy if you are participating in the casino. Ciggarette machine and soft drink machine is a big bonus. As a contrast to the casino, the arcade outside is not to my taste. It is more child friendly, offering a vast selection of ticket machines as opposed to arcade machines that are more gameplay focused. I know this is moreso because of a shift in the market, but its absolutley heartbreaking to have watched this go from a 2 floor arcade full of an array of machines to one floor of ticket machines. Even if outrun and time crisis was still there i could recommend this to all ages, but the target audience is clearly identifiable when you walk in the door. Its worth noting that bray bowl still has some of these older arcade machines if your looking for them. In short, the best casino ive ever had the pleasure of enjoying, a great arcade for kids, and the staff (particularly the security) are just...
Read moreCasino : Staff are welcoming, toilets are spotless, you can get unlimited free coffee/tea & biscuits.
Negatives seats are uncomfortable, now do not go into this casino with the hopes of winning as you will not. Like many casinos however in my experience and visitations of multiple casinos in Europe this one is in the top ten of impossible to win more than you've put in.
For example I play the slots, preferably with scatters/free games , it is seldom that you'll get the scatters I've played on the same machine for 4 hours and not one scatter, I have also noticed the higher your bid the less likely of any decent win it gets harder.
I've been here multiple times and each time it is the same pattern, for example you play 100 credits that's €5 and you bet the lowest which is 5c that's 100 spins , and tonight I noticed yet again another pattern, you will spin 100 times and only win 10 credits which is 50c and it does that time and time again.
You would have to spend a ridiculous amount to win a decent amount.
I go for the leisure but I finding that the machine shallows the money too quickly and therefore cannot get any enjoyment.
Remember guy's gamble responsibly. If you believe you have a problem reach out to the sources that can help with...
