While this is on the more extreme end of what you can find, it’s not hard to find full pay options on quarters at many of the locals properties. But many of the locals casinos have a more generous array of options, and at lower denominations, than their counterparts in the more popular areas.Īn example is this penny denomination full pay Jacks or Better machine that I played at Emerald Island in Henderson. Downtown, some casinos have some options for those looking for full pay tables. The strip doesn’t offer great pay tables most of the time. So, if you’ve visited Vegas a few times but haven’t ventured out of the tourist zones, here’s a few reasons why you might want to check out the locals casinos. The locals casinos, by comparison, are going to be much more likely to provide that true value, as they have to cater to a market that’s likely more in the know about options than just about anyone else. That’s certainly OK, and for some that’s the point – visiting a different sort of place and enjoying one’s self.īut if you’re a gambler in search of value, you’re not going to find it on the strip, and you’ll selectively find it downtown. If you aren’t a regular Las Vegas visitor, you may not have ventured far beyond the strip or perhaps Fremont Street downtown.
