Re: 15 Fremont Street...Coin Castle grin

Yes...another cut & paste.

Coin Castle Casino, 1970-1999

:
After the Monte Carlo closed, non-gaming businesses, including Sam’s Roast Beef and Denny’s Restaurant, occupied the property until the Coin Castle Casino opened in 1970. Blackjack was played at the Coin Castle until 1977, when it became slots only. The term “slot joint” fit the Coin Castle. There were hawkers out front screaming at you to come in and play the machines, they gave out free “Mardi Gras” beads and coupons for free drawings. They had tin bowls under the slot machines, so that all wins paid off with the maximum amount of noise, and there was always someone with a microphone encouraging you to play, Play, PLAY!




Somebody, please post the matchbooks...we don't have any of them sad
