Nothing against teens or young adults, but this IS a gambling establishment after all. It is nearly impossible to get a glass of water, soda or cocktail due to these people hanging around, visiting, horse playing etc. There are so many kids hanging out, drinking and not playing anything that you cannot easily get around. I assume the gambling age is 18, but the drinking age is 21.

I can't believe that Downstream has made it where you cannot just relax, play along, win enough to keep going! Many slots are old, or the 'jackpot' is nothing compared to the amount you have to wager.

Not so, and the winning percentage is higher. People are afraid to play the higher denomination slots as they appear like there would be more to be lost. 50 to $10.00 per spin, they will eat your bankroll in a heartbeat. these things are 'wolves in sheep's clothing.' They might be 'Penny' slots, but when you have to play anywhere from. It is just ridiculous! One used to be able to play along.expecting to give some to the house, but have an enjoyable time.

The machines are so much tighter than they were at my last visit. That said, I must say that I am currently at Downstream, leaving tomorrow. I love the hotel and the hotel staff are pleasant and very quick to accommodate.
