After this place intially opened it wasn't doing well and one of the managers was quoted in the newspaper saying that they were going to make some changes.

Primarily, they were going to emphasize the facility's video poker games and bring in the best pay tables. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

The $1 Jacks or Better games which all started out as 7/5 went up to 8/5 and 9/5. The best game in the place is $1 8/5 Bonus which is offered in three-play, five-play and 10-play.

The Player's Club is also very bad. The only cashback you can get is $10 after you put $20,000 in play through the machines. There are no comps, except you can redeem your points for a few souvenir items such as a hat, t-shirt, or coffee mug.

The people at the Player's Club desk are nice, but the lines can be very long and they move very slowly.

Nice Facility - Poor VP, Tuesday, 30 November 1999

The casino is all new and it opened in mid-November 2006. It's a very nice, modern, clean, non-smoking facility.

It opened with just over 500 machines, but it is expected that they will eventually have the full 1,500 machines allowed by Florida law.

I'm not much of a slot player and just play video poker. Unfortunately, the VP paytables are rather poor, with 7/5 Jacks or Better in both quarter and dollar denominations.

Therfore, I will just visit and look, rather than play.

Live in the area, so have been to Gulfstream Casino/Racino quite a bit. The major problem with this casino, as well as the other pari-mutuel based casinos in the area is simply that the take-out is way too high.

The tax rate to the State is 50%, so you're really giving up a big chunk right from the beginning. Love the non-smoking atmosphere here, and when the horses are running live, (January to April), it's fun to be able to bet the horses and take some breaks to play the slots.

Of course, there's only slots here (but might see some table games eventually if the Seminole Indians get them). For now, until the tax rate is lowered substantially, I'll play here only occasionally until the horses are running again.

Video poker is not too bad. No full pay but most royals pay 800 per coin not the usual 250 so you can short play without losing the royal. All video poker is in new downstairs casino.
