I am not a gambler but I went ahead and checked out the casino after dinner.

It had many options and was a typical casino buffet. I tried the evening buffet (Sunday evening). The front desk staff greeted me ever so friendly. Also, it was very quiet, except for the occasional noise from the hallway. The room was great! So clean, updated and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! The TV was updated.all was in perfect order. I had a king size bedroom on the 4th floor facing the Ohio River. I was traveling 'solo' on my return home from Atlanta to St. Here, even on a bonus, you'd win either nothing or a couple cents! It was honestly pretty ludicrous. When you hit a win at a normal casino, typically there is a payout of at least a couple bucks. Literally every machine I played would get two of the three symbols needed time after time. Never have I played so many machines that would tease for a bonus. The payouts were the most measly I've ever seen and I've played slots in large casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City to tiny roadside casinos in small towns across the country. However, machine after machine here would make a ton of noise, alarm bells, whistles, lights, sounds and you would win.wait for it.wait for it.5 cents, maybe 40 if you were lucky. The nature of gambling is that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, I get that. It wasn't just that we were having a bad night. Ugly: Be prepared to lose quite a bit, as this is the tightest casino I've ever stepped foot in. Another local said the current riverboat that houses the casino was being sold and Harrah's is planning to move the casino itself into the hotel(?) Not sure how true this might be, but it might explain the lack of investment and maintenance of machines. My vouchers got stuck, rather than ejecting, several times and I had to call employees to unjam them. Many don't function properly on the screen or sound. I'm not sure if there has been a lot of crime here or what, but I suppose it makes some people feel safer? As other reviewers have said, this place is run down. Everytime I turned around, security was around. One local suggested that you watch which machines are the busiest before you lose all your money. I talked to many locals who said there are 'bad' machines here. Many of the decent penny slots are 40, 50 and 75 cents as minimum bets. I've never seen so many players betting $3 and $4 a spin on penny slots. Good: This is the closest casino to Nashville and it was great that it was a Harrah's - gimme my comps! many areas are non-smoking, so it felt healthier than other smoke-filled casinos there is a wide variety of games, many penny slots waitresses were constantly coming around offering drinks.
