What makes old school casino floors like Mcphillips feel so alive?
That cheque line made me laugh, honestly 😂 the cage sounds way better than what I'm used to. Only been to a proper floor a couple times and I chickened out at the cashier both times, just walked around like a tourist.
Wandering and watching regulars is half the fun for me too, feels less scary than jumping into a table cold. Did you end up sitting down anywhere or mostly stuck to the machines? And go easy on me, is cashing out at the cage as simple as it looks, just hand over your ticket and they count it out? 🙏
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Tourist-walking the floor is half the experience anyway, no shame in it. The cage at Mcphillips is genuinely the easy part, line moved fast when I cashed out. Only catch is the same machines the regulars camp on all night, good luck finding a free one.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Old-timers just like paper, Steve. A cheque at the cage means the cashier writes it up, they take your ID, run the whole teller routine. Slow for everyone behind but the regulars treat it like a ritual and staff humour them. Mind you I've stood in line behind worse than one cheque guy 😄
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Cheque guy slows the line for everyone behind him, that's my only gripe. Ritual or no ritual, some of us got a cab waiting 😄
I remember the old slots first-hand.
That cage story has me wanting to check it out now 😄 I still get shy asking dumb questions at cashiers, so a place where nobody minds the slow stuff sounds like my speed. Is the floor busy on weeknights or is it mostly a weekend crowd?
