Hi All

went down both tues and wed nights to Riverside casino in Hamilton. Both nights were busy so the honeymoon period is still in progress. I watched alot of people betting..the 2c machines are very popular and the 10c unpopular.

probably 80-90% were push & giggle type of people with the occasional high roller entering in on all types of machines. The car was won wed nite by a middle-aged woman.........The type of people at the casino were all ages all social types. Some very fashion type people were there, as there is few places where one can get formal in Hamilton.

On the gaming tables most were in their 25-35 age group.

I think there are alot of new first timers present as they were not using  action cards in the slot machines. I had some inquiry as my action card is on a plastic extendable cord clipped to my pants belt so I don't forget to take it when a move from a machine...if I do forget it richoquets back at me as I am walking away ...embarassing as this bungy card goes firing past peoples noses as it return to its owner :)))

 

The carpark ( have not been in yet) seems to have about 6 levels under the building complex

 

The tenpin bowling alley is up and running...for all age groups up until 7.00ish, then its for the big kids as it doubles as a nightclub as well.
