Thinking of checking out Betty Casino in person
Mixed chatter is exactly what I'm seeing too 😅 I only started casino-ing a couple months ago so I'm the wrong guy to confirm anything, but I'd also want to know who actually regulates the place before hauling my passport to the cage. Like, is there even a licence posted somewhere on the floor or should I just ask at the cashier and watch how they react? That'd tell me a lot lol.
Also curious what the ID + payout process looks like in person, first time cashing out anywhere, so go easy on me if it's a dumb question 🙈 If anyone's actually been, does the cage pay same day or is it one of those "cheque in the mail" situations? That'd decide the whole trip for me honestly.
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Kid asks the right question, gotta give him that 🙂 when a cage won't tell you who's regulating them over the phone, that tells you plenty before you ever burn gas on the trip. I've been playing floors since the old-school grind days - turned 50 bucks into 5k once at a place nobody had heard of, and the first thing I did at the cage was ask for their licence info straight up. Call ahead, ask about the ID process, check if there's any provincial oversight listed publicly, and if the answers are vague - keep your passport in your pocket.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
NearMissGate nailed the phone test - I'd add one more: ask the cage directly which regulator issued their licence, then verify the number yourself before you drive. If they dodge or fumble it twice, that's your answer right there. 📊 And remember, even a legit floor means your session sample is tiny against the long-run RTP, so treat the trip as entertainment first.
Volatility > vibes.
The phone test and licence number check are both solid, I'll give you that. My addition: bring the ID but do a small cash-in first, like a C$20 buy-in, and try cashing out the same day. A cage that hems and haws over a trivial payout tells you everything about how they'd treat a real win. I've watched people post "it paid" stories for venues where nobody ever actually showed a withdrawal proof, and that pattern never ends well.
Also worth noting since the regulator question keeps dodging an answer here: in Ontario at least you can cross-check any legit operator against the AGCO registry in two minutes. If Betty's name doesn't come up anywhere official and the staff can't name who oversees them, that's not mixed chatter, that's your red flag with a bow on it. Gas is expensive, save the trip.

This might be a dumb question but when you say "verify the licence number yourself", where do I even check that? 🤔 still learning the ropes here 😅
New here, soaking it up.
Good instinct asking kid, half the veterans skip that part 😉 all it means is: get the licence number off their signage or website, go to the regulator listed (like the AGCO site if they say Ontario, or whatever body claims them elsewhere in Canada), punch the number in, and see if the place shows up matching the name. If the search comes back empty or details don't match, walk away. Saves you burning gas like MaxBet said about a C$20 test.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Honestly the same-day small cashout test sounds smart to me 😅 I'd probably just stand at the cage and watch how they treat someone else cashing out before even depositing my own C$20. Also a real question from me: if they only take cheques or delay you past a day for a small payout, is that a walk-away sign or normal for smaller spots?
VegasDiva, watching someone else cash out tells you nothing about how they'll treat you, a friendly cage can still lowball a C$500 cheque request from a stranger. And RollRoller's right that the AGCO lookup only proves Ontario standing; if Betty's outside that framework, the same-day small cashout test is about the only field check with real EV. I'd add: bring a cheap ID, do the C$20 deposit, try the withdrawal while you're still standing there, and watch whether they blink. 📊
Tbh the watch-someone-else thing beats nothing, but I'd rather do my own tiny deposit and ask for a same-day cashout 😅 if they drag their feet on C$20, that says plenty, right?

Honestly this thread pretty much settled my trip plan for me 😅 tiny deposit, same-day cashout, see what happens before I bring anything real. Only thing I still can't figure out is who actually regulates Betty if they're not on the AGCO list, anyone know if there's a licence number posted by the cage or on the floor somewhere I should be checking when I get there? 🤔
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
C$20 test is the way, did the same thing at my spot here in Saskatoon and walked out same night with a small win 😅 if they balk at twenty bucks, run.
Backing my slot to the last spin.
DaveRTP, if they're not on the AGCO list I'd be cautious - check the licence number posted near the cage when you're there, and don't bring more than your C$20 test until you see it.
Volatility > vibes.
Good call on the licence number by the cage, that's the kind of thing I'd never think to look for 😅 quick dumb question tho. Does the cashout at the cage need the same ID as depositing, or can you just grab your C$20 win and walk? Still figuring out how that works, go easy on me 🙏

@LoonieNorth not dumb at all, cage will want ID for any cashout over a certain amount, even small wins. Bring your gov ID and you walk out with your C$20 no problem 🔥
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
Grabbing your win at the cage is easy peasy, don't sweat it 🙌 keep your slot card handy too, comps rack up faster than you'd think... 💰🔥

@Victoria99 "free money" 😂 the comps are free money the same way a coupon for a second coffee you didn't want is free money. They hand you a C$20 meal while the floor takes C$400 off your card, and you walk out thinking you beat the house. Enjoy the steak, it's the most expensive dinner in Newfoundland 🤡💸
A paper win won't feed you.

@Toque_Local this. And watch the slot claims too. ChasingLosses_Merchant says his favourite slot "hits way more" when he's carded in? got a cashout screenshot to back that? The card doesn't change RTP, it just tracks exactly how much the floor takes off you.

@Toque_Local nah man, comps are just a bonus, nobody's out here chasing a C$20 meal 😂 my all-time favourite slot at Betty hits for me way more when I'm carded in and just vibing, this slot pays when you're relaxed. Card …
@LuckyLady_777 fair point, no screenshot, I'll admit the card doesn't touch RTP 😂 but if the card costs nothing and comps come off it, why leave it out? Bankroll discipline wins either way.
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.

@Victoria99 good to know, thanks 🙏 I only ever played online before so the whole slot card thing is new to me. Do you have to sign up for the comps thing at a desk or does the card just track everything automatically once you put money in? Maybe I'm being dumb but I'd hate to spin for a bit and realize nothing was counted 😅 also is the comps signup free or do they try to upsell you something?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Slot card is worth it, you sign up at the desk in a couple minutes and after that it tracks automatically whenever it's in the machine. I've cleared comp meals off way less play than you'd think. Only skip it if you're planning a quick hit and dash, otherwise it's free money on the table 💸

@Provably24 the card tracks everything automatically, that part's true, that's literally its job, tracking how much you feed the machine 😂 comp meals off "way less play than you'd think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. The house isn't handing out steaks out of generosity, they're pricing them into your losses. Sure, post the screenshot of the C$20 meal, I'll show you the withdrawal that never came 🤡💸

@YYZ_19 true, the card just tracks the feed. But comps were never the win - I banked a 500x at Betty last trip, cashed out same night. Card in costs you nothing extra 💸

@Bonus_God a same-night 500x cashout sounds dreamy 😅 quick question from a total noob here. When you cashed out, was that straight through the cage? I've only done online wagering so far and still learning bonuses, so walking up to a cage with a big ticket kinda scares me lol. Card in costs nothing though, fair point 🙏
Learn something new about casinos every day.
@BonusBuy_Merchant card always in, zero downside. I cleared a C$400 cashout at a land casino last spring and the comps covered the gas 💸 if the 500x hits again at Betty, cage pays same night, no wagering to grind 🎰
@Grand_Win cage is chill, don't sweat it 😂 first big ticket I cashed my hands were shaking lol, guy just counted it out, handed me the slips, done in two mins. Way faster than waiting days on an online withdrawal honestly. Walking out with actual cash hits different 💸
The hit is close, I can feel it.

@DiceLordGod fastest two minutes of your life til the next session ate it back tho right 😂 everyone loves the walk-out story, nobody posts the drive-home receipts. How many trips to even it out - or was that cash actually withdrawn for keeps?
The house always wins.

@DaveReels bro mine was for keeps, framed the slot ticket on my wall 😂 cashed a huge win ngl, cage counted it out smooth 🔰🎰💰

Framed ticket on the wall 🤣 meanwhile mine goes straight back in, deposit the last of it lol. Dave's right, nobody frames the drive-home receipts 😂

@BigWin77 framed ticket on the wall is actually goals 😂 I've never even cashed at a cage yet, only ever hit withdraw online and waited forever. Hearing it's two mins and done makes me wanna make the trip just for that feeling. You kept the whole win for keeps or did some go back in? 🙈
