Realized they were actually empty platforms for gaming machines. On my way back to the casino I took a closer look at some strange low-profile benches that I had encountered both ways. Turns out I was adjacent to the finish line - sorted it out myself and spent an hour betting on horses with zero wins. After walking for 20 minutes through buildings I ask an employee if I was close to the track? She told me I needed to go all the way back to the casino entrance? Only none of the staff seemed to know how to navigate the labyrinth. I’m not a slots or casino fan so I left my three friends and made my way over to bet on the horses. Food in casino was fine but the restaurant layout and design was very 1976 high school cafeteria. Decor was minimalist and very underwhelming. Site was still mostly under construction …seems cash flow trumped waiting until the facility was ready?Ĭasino presented like a converted warehouse with left over equipment from failed sites. Visited with 3 others second week of July 2023. I still prefer to go to Vegas with my casino group as there are tins of options in food, and casinos, shows. Have been going to Fallsview with the comps, but the RTP is the worst I have seen. That is assuming the RTP on this casino improves, and hopefully be better than Niagara. Theater was not ready yet, but assuming they are able to match the entertainment from Niagara they might give Fallsview a run for their money. The restaurants Noodlebox,(no customers), Tim Horton( good graphic) Sushi did not look too great Mary Brown a few eaters Copper ? also sparse, some bars, etc.

Was able to get couple of hundred opening but so did the other guests, it was a good come back promotion. The variety of machines in terms on denominations, are well placed, mixing the high roller machines with the lower ones, great idea. Carpeted, still clean, hope they are able to keep it that way. Tons of new machines, well spaced (hope they keep it this way- Pickering casino put more machines too close together later on ), great servers, and staff to fix machine.

The lobby is large, hotel not ready yet, well lit, similar to my fav Vegas casinos. The indoor parking is great with tons of spots, unfortunately the signs to go out are not well lit, designed, we had to go around and around, not also informing customers of which street you are exiting on. Got invited to the opening and also went back another day to see the difference.
