As we were waiting for the security manager several other guests walked by without being scanned. I found this very intrusive and asked for a manager. We were told everyone must be scanned for facial recognition. On day three of our 4 night stay at the hotel we were stopped by security as we entered the hotel and instructed to a wall mounted camera. Treat the customer like a customer and not your personal piggy bank. People are here to spend money and have a good time. My advice to this casino, stop with the junkie made in China giveaways and give people a chance to win once in a while and it won’t look like a ghost town. They are committed to bringing the truth of this casino live on TickTock so people can really see how these places rob people blind. I am thankful for the folks on TickTock that come in here and go live for nights a week. Sure you can turn your service light on at your machine and a coin attendant may come by and tell you they’ll go find one, but it’s not likely. If you were looking for a fun casino experience, this is not it. They might as well take your wallet from you as soon as you walk through the door. The casino itself reeks of desperation to make money as fast as they can. When you sit at a slot machine, you will find more teasing of the bonus then people around you actually getting into bonus rounds. Another thing you will notice is constant bonus teasers. Sure the state takes a look to make sure they get their cut but the casinos have no obligation whatsoever to pay out a certain percentage of what they take in. The problem with the casinos in the state of Arizona is that they are very very loosely regulated. IF you are crazy enough to bet max, yeah you might with something worth while but unlikely. It’s very common to see 10% of your spins pay out (if your lucky!) let’s talk about “bonus” spins! On average, you will find an average of 50 cents to a dollar per bonus spin IF YOU ARE LUCKY. You will see lengthy patterns of dead spins with an occasional minimum payout combination.

Betting $1.75 per spin, DID NOT win more than what I bet nor made it to the bonus rounds (those in a moment). This morning I tried my luck and put $165 into the Invaders from Planet Moolah. I assure you, these machines are programmed to payout much less frequently on higher bets. You will notice IMMEDIATELY how the “hold” percentage changes when you increase your bets. Both casinos have horrible returns on slots. Up the highway is it’s sister casino Lone Butte. This casino is a very loosely regulated Indian casino outside Phoenix.
