Bring and have lots of money to loose
Reviewed by steelbyr on 2009-03-03T11:43:31Z

This is with out a doubt the worse tightest casino in the St Louis Area and include Iowa in that. I have spent 400 dollars there in less than an hour there the last 5 times I went on penny and nickel slots. Playing the min bet on all of them. Not sure why they are so tight there but you can even enjoy an evening there. Your out of money before you get warmed back up from being outside.

Pros: You can park close because no one is there

Cons: You will loose all your money in less than an hour being there

I hated it

If you spend time on the Alton Belle and enjoy yourself your really should consider being a nursing home worker. You will be around the same kind of people, get use to oxygen masks and wheel chairs and toddering elderly. The place is dank and stuffy and depressing and aside from the elderly there is a handful of desperate looking scary people. I was there twice and hated it. It's like going to your grandpa's basement and playing a slot machine.

Pros: it's close by

Cons: dreary, depressing, very old gamers, stinks

Oxygen/Gas Mask required

I guess my headline says it all. I totally understand that typical 'casino people' are heavy smokers and complaining about inhaling second hand smoke in a casino is like going to a bar and complaining about the drunks .... but .... this place takes the cake. The stench in the parking lot alone should be a warning. Also, be prepared to literally rub elbows with (the place is very congested and claustrophobic) the lowest class of people you can imagine. I'm talking beer chugging obese women in housedresses and slippers, local farmers still wearing their overalls, and of course the usual welfare recipients from 'da hood' who have no business whatsover blowing their rent money in a casino. Trust me, you have to see this place to believe it.
