Vancouver casinos
Open 11am everyday.
The main entrance from the street is only open on race days (usually weekends). There's no sign saying this nor is there a sign telling you where to go to enter.
By dumb luck, i noticed cars parked at the racetrack entrance. Walked into parking lot and Saw the casino entrance.
Large casino with lots of space for people to walk around.
Hand pay is $1500 for $1 denom machines, else $500 for denoms lower than that. No taxes.
ie: 1 cent demon but playing $10/spin is $500 threshold. $1 denom but playing $5/spin is $1500
About 60% newish slots, 40% older slots.
No table games
They have 9/7 db.
The Players card program in Vancouver is run by the lottery commission.
It's called Encore. (No relation to Wynn's Encore casinos.)
All casinos in Vancouver (must?) use it so one card is good for all the casinos.
$1 coin-in is 1pt in slots, $5 coin-in for 1pt for e-Games.
(River Rock casino near the airport has e-Games including e-Craps.)
1000 pts can be redeemed for $5 Freeplay.
That's the only option in using the pts.
10k-49999 pts: Double diamond status which is just +5% increase in pts.
$50k-149999: Triple diamond, +10%
150k+ is Elite, +15%
Big casino, 2 floors. And like RiverRock casino, it has a hotel.
UTH is 8/6/5 trips.
Craps is $10 min but odds not listed on the placard.
unlike Hastings, LOTS of playable slots here.
but Machines seem tighter than the Hastings casino. (bad variance from my small sample size?)
Put in 5k coin-in for the only day i was there.
Wonder if that will get me free room offers? (It did not for River Rock)

That’s an interesting concept on the players card… It appears that one could play heavily at one casino (preferably the loosest) and become Elite at all (both?) Vancouver casinos with the same play!

Yes but the only thing you can do with points is convert them to freeplay.
can't use them to pay for food.
River rock will not give average player any comp. Zip it is. Will have better luck at Grand Villa or Starlight.
Quote: speedycrapFree play might be casino restricted. Meaning only good at specific casinos belonging to the same group.

Just curious, what do you consider an average player?
