It's real. Been there, done that. It's a waste.
In Response To: $1 Hollywood Casino Aurora ()

It is indeed real. It's about 30-40 miles from my home.

Unfortunately it's a little sad.

Their roulette tables have a MAXIMUM $10 BET limit.
Most places have a $10 minimum, but these loonies have a $10 bet, period.
Minimum, maximum, whatever, it's $10.

On my one visit there I was very disappointed to find the $10 max bet.
But I decided to sit in for a few minuets.
Since I had driven the the 30-40 miles to get there I was reluctant to leave immediately.

Then, the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed happened.

There was a blackjack table right behind me.
A guy from the blackjack table stepped over to the roulette table and put a $25 chip on #27.
The dealer pushed his chip aside and informed him of the $10 limit.
He got very loud, very quickly, and insisted on playing the $25 chip.
The pit boss interceded and allowed the bet.
The wheel was spun, and the guy won. I think that's $875.
I watched a few more spins of the wheel and was about to leave when the same guy stepped across from the blackjack table again.
This time when he put $25 on #27 the dealer didn't object.
And he won again!

To this day I am still wondering, why was this guy wasting his time on blackjack?
