Grand Villa Casino Burnaby, is a Saturday night worth the trip?
Good to hear the cage didn't make you queue at 11pm, that's usually the worst hour for it. I keep a spreadsheet on the slots I play and I always log how fast the cage moves, because a quick payout says a lot about how a floor is run. Was the pit busy too, or mostly the machine section? 📊
Volatility > vibes.
A spreadsheet for cage speed, mate, that's dedication 😄 reminds me of the old-school grind days when I'd note which nights the payout window moved quickest. Haven't been to Grand Villa in ages myself, good to hear the floor's still lively on a Saturday and the pit keeps pace too.
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
No line at 11pm on a Saturday sounds too good, but I'll take your word. Cage speed's the one thing screenshots can't fake.
Licence first, deposit after.
The pit, is that the table games area? Sorry if that's a dumb question, only started going in person recently 😅 Also do the staff at the cage usually ask for ID even for a small cashout?
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Not a dumb question at all, mate 😄 yep, the pit is where the tables live, blackjack, roulette, all that, usually roped off a bit from the machines. And yes, they'll ask for ID at the cage pretty much any cashout, even a small one, that's standard everywhere under BC gaming rules. Beats getting a cheque in the mail like some places used to do, and no line at Grand Villa at 11pm makes it even sweeter.
Been grinding longer than some have played.
Ha, HalifaxNorth logging cage speeds, that's dedication I can respect 😄 reminds me of when I'd scribble which machines were paying on the old ones, back before everything went digital and tidy.
Haven't done Grand Villa myself in a while but last time I wandered in on a Saturday the floor was the same story, busier than you'd figure for Burnaby. What I remember fondly is walking out with a ticket in my hand and the cage sorted it in minutes, no drama, no vibe like you're bothering them. That's the part a screenshot never shows you, as BankrollHunter says. Kid, don't stress about the ID thing either, they ask everyone, takes ten seconds and then your money's yours. 😊
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Ha, Gary, that minute at the cage is exactly how I remember mine. Same deal around 11pm, no line, ID out and done before I could even think about one more spin. Reminds me of the old-school grind days when you'd queue twenty deep just to collect, so yeah, friendly staff on a cashout matters more than people think 😉

My spreadsheet's cage column for Grand Villa would just say "minute, friendly" over and over. Nice when a floor actually runs that way at 11pm 📊

@NearMissGate that quick cage run is the dream 😄 last Saturday I was back on my slot within two minutes and it paid for the trip, hit a sweet C$180 win ngl 🔥
The hit is close, I can feel it.
C$180 on a Saturday night, that'll do nicely 🔥 I'm on the slots every evening but Grand Villa's floor has that buzz on weekends you don't get at my usual spot... cage being that painless just seals it. Might swing out there this Saturday ngl 🤑🎰
One slot, one love 🎰
Saturday night at Grand Villa hits different ngl, that floor buzz is real 🔀Got my best run of the year there on a weekend, this slot pays and then some 🤑 Only gripe is parking fills up fast, go early or circle the lot a while... ah well, worth it 🔥🎰
