Security makes you smile from the minute you arrive. Daily promo that is super popular and unlimited between the hours of 10am-7pm $20 for $20 means that you start off with $40 at the game of your choice. ( double your money to cash out ). The employees are efficient, friendly and quick to serve. Always with a smile. The variety of games is what makes it unique. Lots of tables, some horizontal and others vertical so you can play like you would a video game from different angles. They even have a DOUBLE DIAMONDS SLOT MACHINE with the old style pull handle. It’s a $1 a spin but I’m not sure if that’s because the payout is big, the nostalgia or to preserve and protect the machine from harm. This is the place we seem to win at consistently. I’ve seen big ($5000) wins on a slot machine and decent wins on the Ultimate Firelinks. Unlike other places I’ve played these firelinks hit the bonus frequently. The majority of fireballs are $0.50-150 while other places set theirs so the money is higher at $2-9 per fireball. Personally I would rather win the lower amount because winning is always more fun no matter how much it is;). The fish tables seem consistent in their payouts and I never get the feeling that the tables aren’t paying on purpose like I have at other game rooms I’ve played at. I love that I can play 15c and win $1.46 after 20 free game spins or hit a bonus of $400 with one shot at a table. Free food seems to be served nearly every evening and it’s been delicious so far on the nights we have caught it. Someone is a fantastic cook and it’s prepared and served with a smile. Definitely one of the places I would not miss and maybe the only place I would go if time was short. It’s close to Raleigh’s only kid friendly amusement park Adventure Landing and several great restaurants. It’s also on the bus line and very close to downtown. Buses run very frequently almost to the front door and return to town just as many times per day.
