GrandWest Casino

The casino floor is home to 2,500 slots and video poker machines as well as 79 premium table games which include Blackjack, Roulette, Poker and Baccarat. These are spread throughout the smoking and non-smoking casinos as well as the exclusive Salon Privé.

All slot machines use smart card technology.

With Progressive Jackpots, bright lights flashing and the various sounds of the machines ringing at diverse decibels, the excitement is palpable, while players leave their seats to rush over and see what may appear to be a win!

The look on people’s faces as they play, every press in the constant hope of free games, or better still, the ultimate jackpot! Some set their machines on autoplay while wandering around to get a feel of which other machines will get them in a spin!

Some players feed the machines with wads of cash hoping it will pay out in multiples. It is often comical to watch players squabble over machines, like people fighting over parking bays.

Standing back and observing how gambling and money expose people’s true colours, their natures and volatility, can provide its own source of entertainment!
