the bar top machines were 9/6 Jacks or better machines......but in many cases the machines are 7/5 or 6/5 machines where the house is just killing you on their rake on those machines. Heck I would take an 8/5 JOB if I really wanted a free drink.

Now it would be better for you to come in with a beer from a cooler out in the car (or from the room). I'm sure there would be some issues if you got caught bringing your own drink to a casino.
