Heads up before you trek out to Starlight Casino in New Westminster
Yikes, crowded mall vibes sounds rough 😅 I've been meaning to check Starlight out for a first proper casino trip. So the machines near the door fill up fast, did the table area look any calmer or was the whole floor packed? Asking before I drag myself out there on a Saturday 🙃

Weekend evenings anywhere in the Lower Mainland will be packed, Starlight included, so Saturday might be worse than the OP's Friday. I'd aim for a weekday afternoon if it's your first trip, way easier to find a machine and actually judge the place. And whatever you win, cash at the cage and keep the receipt, that's the only proof that counts.
Hype isn't a payout.
CashOutKing's got it right, kid. weekday afternoon, coffee in hand, you can actually hear yourself think at the machines 😄
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Question for you all 😅 is the cage line long on those weekend nights too? Wondering if cashing out takes forever when it's packed 🙈

Sam, cage line's usually moving even when the floor's packed, they staff up for weekends. Friday I waited maybe a few minutes, nothing brutal. But cash out before the late rush if you can, everyone queues up around closing-ish time and it crawls 😉
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
Thanks VancouverLocal416, that cage tip helps 🙈 I circled those entrance machines twice too, ended up further back and it was way calmer. Weekday trip it is 😅

Funny how everyone's selling the weekday afternoon magic like it's some secret code 😄 I've been through this cycle before at enough floors to know the truth is duller. A quiet afternoon means half the good machines are dead or getting serviced, and you trade the crowd for a floor that feels like a waiting room. Give me the Friday buzz, honestly. Yeah, that bank near the entrance at Starlight was shoulder to shoulder by 8, circled twice myself for two seats together. But walk twenty steps deeper and it opened right up. Same as it ever was, the entrance slots are a bait spot, always were, even back when the old slots hit different. Only bit of advice I'd trust here is VancouverLocal's cage tip. Cash out before the late rush, that part is gospel. The rest is just picking your poison, kid 😉
Been grinding longer than some have played.
Maybe I'm being dumb but I didn't even think about the cage line until Sam asked 😅 That entrance slot bank being shoulder to shoulder by 8pm matches what I saw last weekend too. I've only done one visit so far, still learning the whole in-person thing, but circling twice for two machines together made me just give up and go further back. Weekday afternoon it is for me next time 🙏

Honestly the "smaller than the pictures" part tracks with what I figured 😅 I've only been to a couple floors so far but every pic of Starlight makes it look huge. Good to know the back of the floor gets calmer by 8pm, might do a weekday arvo trip myself 🙈
