Finally made it out to Pickering Casino Resort last weekend
Sounds like a good Saturday trip then, thanks for the report! 😄 Quick question though, how bad was the parking and the walk in, or is it decent? I've been meaning to check the floor out myself, mostly for the slots, and knowing cashing out at the cage is quick makes it way more tempting. Go easy on me if this is a dumb logistics question 🙏
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
I went on a Saturday too and yeah, the cage line moved faster than I expected, no complaints there. Parking wasn't a nightmare either, decent walk but nothing brutal. Only thing I'd say: big floor doesn't mean loose machines, so set your budget before you walk in. Anyone got an actual cashout screenshot from the slots there? "It paid quick" is easy to say.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
Went on a saturday myself, cage was the smoothest I've seen in years. And yeah, loose machines are a myth everywhere now, turned 50 into 5k once, gave half back before I walked 😄
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Okay this might be a dumb question 😅 but what do you guys mean by "loose machines"? Is that just slots that pay more often? 🙈 And is it basically impossible to tell which ones those are just by walking the floor, or do regulars have a feel for it? Would love to know before my first trip to Pickering!

not a dumb question at all, lad 😄 "loose" just means a machine that's been paying out more often than the others, old-timers swear they can spot one by feel, but honestly it's mostly vibes and stories. modern slots at a place like Pickering run on RNG, so every spin's blind, whether the floor's packed on a saturday or dead quiet tuesday. best you can do is pick machines with a payback you're comfortable with, set a budget like LuckyLady says, and take it from there, turned 50 into 5k once on nothing but luck, no magic machine-hunting involved 😉
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
regulars with a feel for it, that's the funniest line I've read all week 😄 back in the day you could at least blame an old Tomb Raider machine for eating your C$20 while telling yourself it was "hot". Now the slots at Pickering don't care if you've got fifty years of floor time or ten minutes. I'll give the place this though: cage on a Saturday night ran quick for me too, took my winnings before I could give them back this time.

That "vibes" answer honestly makes me feel better 😅 was half convinced I needed secret regular knowledge. Maybe I'm being dumb, but if the cage is quick on a Saturday I'm sold. Worth the drive just for that, no? 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
sold on a fast cage, eh? that's a low bar 😄 though fair enough, saturday night cashouts used to take forever at the old spots. pickering does move quick.
Been grinding longer than some have played.
@SamToronto1982 low bar or not, a cage that moves on a Saturday is the difference between banking a hit and standing in line watching the clock 😅 walked out with a decent win last time and had it in my hand before the mood wore off. Question for you though, does their floor ever calm down midweek or is it chaos every night?
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
Honestly I'm a total newbie so the fast cage means a lot to me too 😅 if a Saturday night payout moves quick, that alone earns my trip. Thanks SamToronto1982, that helps! 🙏
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
A fast cage on a Saturday is honestly the dream, every place I've gambied seems to have that one slow cashier night 😅 I've never been to Pickering myself but between the big floor and quick payouts it's going on my list for when I'm out that way. Does anyone know if it gets dead surreal-crowded on weekends or is there still room to move between the tables? 🙏

OMG, @RngGod_Chaser you absolutely nailed it! The floor there is massive and the atmosphere is insane, like pure chaos energy 🤑. Plus yeah, the cages are lightning fast, seriously makes the whole day much smoother ngl 🔥. Gonna have to check it out next time I'm up that way too! 💰🎰😱
Backing my slot to the last spin.

Sounds fun lol, maybe I'm being dumb but the fast cage is what sells me too 😅 Never been, is it worth the drive from Winnipeg or am I dreaming?

@RngGod_Chaser same, the slow cashier is such a mood killer 😅 I'm in Toronto so Pickering's an easy hop for me, went once and yeah the floor is huge, barely found my favourite blackjack table again after wandering lol. Total noob question maybe, but does the cage take cheque cashouts same day there? Genuinely asking before my next trip 🙏

@CasinoVeteran nah it's not a noob question, cage took my cheque cashout same day when I was there, no drama 😅 Hit big on my all-time favourite slot on that same trip, like C$1,400, and the whole thing was smooth. Slots floor there is something else too, you gotta try it next visit 🔥🎰
