Charlestown hollywood casino

If I'm going to play $50 a hand, (I'm not), I'm going to do it in Las Vegas, where there are some comps, decent food, and subsidized hotel rooms. Table minimums are far too high for me, (I was told $15 on a weekday, but on a weekend night, could only find $50 minimum tables) - but the tables seemed full of ready players. There's an affinity / point program, but seems pretty weak compared to others. But the layout is less than ideal, it's sprawling, with only 1 central corridor, which is invariably clogged by dozens of human speedbumps - I mean, seriously, how unconscious must you be to stand motionless in the center of an aisle, while dozens of people dodge awkwardly around you? Slots are a bit tight and I've seen more than one person go on a ruinous cold streak, dropping hundreds of dollars, some on what's advertised as 'penny slots' - but when you bet $2 a spin, it's hardly a penny slot - $100 can vanish in less than 5 minutes. The casino itself is fine, it's clean and has lots of options for slot and table play.
