The freeplay will be put on starting may 31st until the 6th. My biggest observation is the majority of people were playing 5 cent keno and poker. There were a few people playing 25 single and multi-line. With fiesta offering fully pay .5/.10/.25/1.00 I don't see the Fiesta regulars making the drive. There will be the ploppies that could care less. The old casino would pack in people with their half decent giveaways but it still was usually nickel players. Another thing is I don't see $5 players wanting to play on the same machines as nickel players, no offense. Old management would tell me they made most of their money from the few big spenders that played in their high limit area. The old High Limit area is now called Club Montelago, its loaded with desks and chairs. They should have a dedicated a section or wall to higher denominations.I went there a second time and it was packed but I just don't get the same comfortable vibe as I did with the first casino.

We were told to come back next week for the free play. I will let you guys know what happens. But it does not appear that you'll be awarded the free play right away, or even during the "Grand Opening Weekend."

We asked about this, and were told that they had sent out stuff according to zip code, and were going to send out mailers next week that include coupons. If we did not receive anything, we could check back with him personally, as he gave us his contact info.

They have 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB, 15/9/4/4 Deuces, 8/5 SDB, 30/8/5 BP and some 7/5 BP, 8/6 BPD, 9/6 TDB and a few others. The 3/5 play had 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB and 8/6 BPD(only games I checked) up to dollar. Ten play up to 25 cent. There may have been another bank that went higher on 10 play. Didn't get to check every single one. Keno is the 810 for 5/5 variant. Lots of strange and interesting penny slots. One wall has reels, three of them are multi-denom to dollar, the other are 25 cent. Several electronic blackjack tables and a electronic roulette table. Snack bar and regular bar. Everyone was pleasant even though it was 4:30 AM. Actually quite a few people playing. Machines are spaced nicely. They give you a temp card which will be permanent on the 31st and then you can claim your bonus freeplay. They are still doing work there so there may be more to come.
