Emerald Island is a faux Irish "themed" casino in Henderson that opened in 2003 in some then unwanted structure. It seems to have had an unlimited license. I think all it offers now are slot machines and keno.
ALL its machines are Penny Machines.
The HIGHEST jackpot it ever paid is said to be 26,000.00.
Supposedly its a place for good food, good friends and good deals on "penny" machines.
Anyone know what its like and how much it makes? What sort of "competition" is it? Is it a Dotty's on Steroids type place?
Ten year anniversary starts May 18th, I think, so anyone who lives in or near "Vegas" can venture to Hendertucky and get 100x points that day as well as 100.00 bonus chances and some other specials.

Never been. Per their website, the 100x points is "By invitation only. Standalone video slots."
100% risk of ruin

I can tell you that they set their penny slots pretty loose. Our games were put in on the most liberal payback percentage offered on the machine.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Interesting website. I would stop in and check out there restaurant IF I happened to be driving by the area.
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

I got the impression it was a shoestring startup ten years ago and wonder how its doing.
I was a bit worried about the highest ever jackpot being twenty-six thousand dollars and that the Casino Manager had to telephone the owner at 3:00am to let him know it was happening.

Emerald Island is a fun place. So are the Eldorado and Rainbow Club. Totally different feel than the other walkable Vegas casinos. Almost more like Central City or Cripple Creek in CO.

Sounds like a place filled with loyal locals spending their pension checks?
I wonder about its license? Are table games authorized? I know they seem to only have slot machines actually installed.

It was a younger crowd when I was there 2 years ago. Is there a college nearby or something?
I don't think tables can be allowed. The casino opened 10 years ago and has no hotel, right? So unless the license was inherited somehow, it can't be unrestricted.

Its in what I called Hendertucky but is legally known as Henderson, so I think no hotel is needed.Quote: rdw4potusIt was a younger crowd when I was there 2 years ago. Is there a college nearby or something?

I'm not sure about the licensing stuff.

The Nevada State College campus is pretty much "just down the road"
