Moreover, it hard to justify this as 'entertainment' when all one gets is negative reinforcement and unaccaptable losses. But this has been the case in most all of visits this year. It was not just disappointing but disgusting and stupid. Betting max bet of $1.50, the machine never paid more than $15 and only gave one free spin session in the entire session. The suck down rate (time allowed in play for each hundred dollars spent) went from about $100 an hour to $500 for 40 minutes.
But my last trip on Saturday night convinced me that the management is trying to recover lost revenues from the pandemic more quickly than the customers can bear. So I know the machines and how they work and never expect to walk away with the same amount of money with which I came. Been patronizing Encore since it opened and have logged in hundreds of hours of play at the same slot machines I have always played.
