I was there on friday and had much the same experience... it was pretty crowded and took forever to play and get paid it seemed. I was also having a hard time getting any chips, they were not sold at the cage and was in fact told by a dealer to put back the chips I had just put in my pocket. He stated that they were for play and not for "souvineers" and that they were casino property. The slots were ok.. my wife played for about 3 hours on 25.00 on a nickel machine. I didnt try the restaurants either. Overall on a scale of 1-10 I'd rate the experience a 4.. just average
