Thanks for doing this. It looks fun. We didn't know if it would be worth the trip but it looks great. We live in Cincinnati.. Thanks again.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Our pleasure! Give it a try. While in Columbus check out the Sciota Downs also.

[@nettiethatsme]

Thanks for the video. I live in Columbus, but still haven’t taken the time to visit any of the casinos. Maybe I’ll check this one out this weekend.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Hi Nettie. Go Buckeyes.

I drive in a long distance from NY just to play the slots on the very left of the screen from 6:26-6:29 at this casino. They’re called Konami Advantage Revolution slot machines. This casino has Heat Engine, Dragon Hurricane, Lucky Fairy, Atlantic Adventure, Money In The Bank Revolution, and Fortune Trip. Very fun slots! You should try them out sometime.

[@RyansVintagePostcards]

What do you like best about these slots? I'm going to make a visit here to try your recommendation. Im 10 min away

[@LifeofSmith1980]

I go to El Dorado Scioto Downs because it’s a Caesar’s property! Thanks for this video, guys.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thanks Steven. El Dorado video coming soon. We went there also.

[@cherylallison3353]

In Toledo. The self serve beverage centers are never working or open it sucks. And that jackpot music they play it but I've never seen any hand pays 😂

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

That stinks. Come to youngstown.

[@cherylallison3353]

@@MakeItHappenWithDon yes. I want to check out scioto downs now. Pretty nice inside and bigger than Toledo

[@alaplex100]

Visitors should know its in a sketchy area of town. But most casinos usually are.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Thanks for watching.

[@tess4492]

My home town Casino.

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

Nice Casino. We go to Hollywood in Austintown. Small but very nice.

Being a short visit, here's some info you weren't able to learn (or chose not to share) about this place. They are usually the highest machine-payout casino in Ohio (percentage-wise, not sure about dollar total). However, the table games have a well below average payout amount (ex: High Card Flush typically pays 8000-1 on the top hand of 7-card straight flush. Here it's only 500-1!!!). On craps, they clear the bets after the point is hit (this is why I will never play craps at this place). The $5 progressive is only offered for a few tables (none for 3-card, High Flush, etc) and increases at a snail's pace. Also, if you fold your hand, you also lose the progressive option - which is another greedy rule. The table minimums are $10 for some games during slow times, $15 otherwise. $5 tables are a thing of the past, although I believe they are gonna offer them on certain Mondays in the future - Also, during the day, there is usually only 1 table open for the "carnival games", and a few for blackjack. This makes getting a seat very difficult because many people sit for long periods of time. If you like Keno, the Game King machines (at 7:10) are probably your best bet. They have better pay tables than the others in the casino. Comps are extremely tough to get for anybody other than high rollers - and even they aren't offered much. Dirty Franks is the only place to eat if you want a good value. Late Night Pizza is $6/slice and is only good in a pinch. Wahlburgers is laughable. If you don't mind spending $12 on a small, very greasy burger, with no sides or drinks, then you'll like this place. The beverage stations are ok, with at least 1 of the 2 fountains usually working. I'm not a coffee drinker but have learned that they did stop offering various flavored creamers that were available for many years prior. Waitresses are usually good while sitting at the tables, but don't expect to see one if at a machine. Zero chance...There is only 1 cashier window. On a busy evening, you'll be in line for quite a while. There are several machines to cash your tickets but finding one operational is a chore sometimes. And by the way, if your ticket has an odd change amount (ie $.34 or whatever), these machines usually won't pay it - it rounds down. During less busy times, many machines are turned off. They're not "broken", they're turned off. Overall, the casino is nice and I enjoy going. Hopefully they treated you guys well and you'll consider visiting again if in the area.

[@cherylallison3353]

@@ourrealestatejourney_original dang. Sounds about like Hollywood Toledo. Only difference is. Hard to find self serve beverage working at all gotta walk all around the casino looking for one open , and your lucky if you find a ticket cash out machine open at all between 2 am and 5. And it asks if you want to donate your change 😜 😜 (like we all have donated just playing the slots) . And your right 1 window open at cashier and longest line ever during Friday or Saturday but yep pretty much same

Welcome to Columbus.

Thanks. We had a good time.

[@bucksavage3571]

Thanks Don and Heather for driving 3 hours each way just to film a walking tour of the casino. Next time you drive down, you should play some. 🤣

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

We played. And went to El Dorado and spent the night. That video will be coming soon.

Did you guys see any high stakes coin pushers there?

No but want really looking.

No table games? Roulette?

Yes. They have table games and roulette.

Been there, place sucks.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Thanks for the comment.

[@jae5137]

Do they scan your ID or physically read it

[@MakeItHappenWithDon]

I'm not sure I understand? They didn't do either.

[@AmericanNinja85]

Hollywood Casino has card readers to scan IDs but if you look old enough they just let you walk in

[@carriemoore1711]

Depends how young you look. We’ve been to some casinos where they’ve scanned and physically read.
