Players from all countries can PLAY!
When I USED TO BE about 10-years old I hit my first slot jackpot, courtesy of my father. I had 45-cents in nickles saved from my allowance, and my dad dutifully took them from me and went with my mother and played the nickle slots on the Owl Club in Battle Mountain, Nevada one night after we were on vacation (to the nice Salt Lake, honest). At some point, a jackpot was hit for 150 coins (that's $7.50 for anyone who spent the last 30 hours watching non-stop Olympics coverage) and that i got the nickles! I also got a nifty ashtray commemorating the development and my life drifted towards thinking gambling was easy, which it is, but just like the quote from the actor's deathbed, "Dying is easy, comedy is hard," understand that "Gambling is easy, winning is hard," so that you should enjoy it in any respect times!
I'll always have a spot in my heart for tiny casinos just like the Owl Club, with a couple of dozen slot machines and never much more, or the Red Coach in Silver Springs with a single blackjack table where the landlord would drive in from home sometimes if she was of a mind when the restaurant cashier called her and said "THERE IS A fellow here, want's to play some blackjack." If you've never been to Silver Springs, that's fine. You'll skip the trip to Gerlach to peer Bruno's Country Club and to Fallon to peer the Bird Farm (but they do have good pastrami sandwiches) in Northern Nevada too, but you need to include Virginia City, that's now a revived ghost town, similar to the casino spots of the high mountains of Colorado.
Virginia City is set a half-hour from Reno, and it's definitely worth the drive (in the event you aren't vulnerable to car sickness) up the mountain, for the reason that town looks similar to it did 100-years ago with wooden sidewalks and a steam-engine train that takes a little bit trip to nearby Gold Hill. Yes, that Gold Hill, where I once did a spectacular speech on baseball within the Comstock to a crowd estimated at nearly 10 people, but I digress.
If you are making it to Virginia City, you will see that the entire new tourist-trap things, and a few half-dozen cool saloons that experience great old photos, exhibits, the occasional blackjack table, and several other slot machines. You could not get rich, but it is a good afternoon spot, especially on a hot afternoon while you desire a cooler temperature and a break from the massive city. Take the youngsters and it is a family thing. Go along with adults and you'll gamble and drink and relax just like the old days. Enjoy.
