FREE SEAFOOD DINNER, Friday, 15 May 2009

What a fiasco! For those of us who were not able to stand in line (2 hours plus!) at 12:00 noon for the free seafood buffet, we played the slots until 6:00 p.m., checking the line frequently, and the hourly wait had not gotten smaller.

And we could not use our $5 coupon for a snack either! Had this "deal" been thoroughly organized before offering it? Will there be any type of future "rain date"? Maybe the large crowd living near by just came to eat. There are many, many handicapped customers who support the Casino, and come from afar - this was a poor display of an incentive to gamble!

I have consistently played blackjack to craps on several occasions and spent about $3,000 each time. Pit bosses become rude and almost disrespectful if you win over $400 at one time playing craps, and the blackjack tables are insane. How about 7 shoes straight and the dealer hits untill they either reach 21 or beat you? Players are greedy, not taking cards when they should to make the dealer bust on the draw. They win $10 or $25 you lose $500. Slots?, hell I've never hit them before the table games and haven't since.

I think the casinos in West Virgina should be inspected closely by an independent commission outside of state rule and control. I've played at Wheeling Island and encountered the same bad luck where table after table loses money to the draw from the shoe where the dealer pulls winning cards from each and every deck,  newly shuffled or otherwise. Cards are cards, but fair is fair if you understand the games the dealer shouldnt win 95% of the time for hours. I'd rather buy scratch off tickets then play at any of these places.

Bad payouts, Saturday, 22 November 2008

When first opened, we used to win a lot. Now, the slots just don't seem to pay.

There is one bank of penny slots in front of the main cashier (Cash Lantis, Lucky Fountain, Jackpot Safari, etc..) that you cannot get on. These machines are fun so why don't they put 50 more in? There is usually a line waiting to play these.

If you go here, do not take much money for they will have it pretty quickly. If you don't hit at all, you will lose about $100 per hour playing 1 and 2 cent machines.

The staff are all friendly and curteous and we have become friends with a few of them. Keno machines are terrible now too. Elephant King used to be decent so they took it out.

The tables seem to attract lots of people, I don't play them, I'm afraid to lose more than I do. It is still closer than AC.

Slots are very tight. Slots are not updated, some are original machines from when they opened.

The Mapquest map is way off. Look at a regular map, this place is between Newell and New Cumberland on Route 2. ADMIN NOTE - Thanks for letting us know about the erro. The map has been corrected.

I live near this resort, it is nice but payouts on the machines seem to be streaky and all come at one time.

Keep your eye on the cashout lines to see when thay are hitting. I seem to lose more often than I win here.

Table gaming was just passed in WV and for this resort. Table gaming is supposed to be up and running by Labor Day 2007.

I would call first if you are planning to visit before October 2007 to see if table games are up and running yet if that is your interest.

There is no "Texas Tea" video slot at this place. If it is your favorite slot game then don't go there to play.

Very, very few VP machines. 7/5 JOB. Old machines, I'm not sure they replaced any of the machines since they opened. (At least 12 years.)

It's dark and comps on drinks almost nonexistent. Glass of water - free, Bottle of water -$2. Hopefully, with PA opening casinos this will change. As of now The Meadows in PA is the better option.

The poker room has been open for a week now. I had a chance to visit on Saturday the 27th. Very nice.

They were offering 2-4 limit, 3-6 limit 1-2 NL and 2-5 NL. There was also an Omaha game in progress.

Everyone is still very green, from the dealers to the pit boss, but I am sure they will get better. Just make sure they are awarding the pots correctly until the dealers' experience can catch up to the players' level.

Rating is only for the poker room, the rest of the casino is still really bad.
