We goto Charlestown races and slots a couple of times a month, mostly during the winter when there is not much to do.The paybacks have really lowered in the past year I suspect it is due to the construction. The varity of machines are the best, and you should have a lot more fun. It is a two hour, fifteen minute drive from Reston, VA. In the VA DC or MD areas, take the extra time and drive to Chester, PA and play at harrah's new casino. along with a free entry in a slot tourney where 75% of the participants will win some cash. Even as a penny player, I have 19 free room nights at Ballys Resort in Vegas, $100. We played for six hours betting on penny machines. Not only did we win, but three days later I received a thank you letter with a free room night, $30. Last week, we drove to Atlantic City and played at Caesars. The Players club rewards are such a joke. Just walk around and see most players are down to their last credits, and nobody has a smile on their faces. We really do not expect to win, but money should last a whole lot longer.
Charles Town also has older machines that you can not even find at other casinos and the variety of penney slots is terrible. 90-95% of the time you will leave angry at ourselves for even going there. We play penny machines and they suck in your money so fast it hurts. Today your chances of winning or even lasting on a slot machine is almost zero.
When Charles Town slots began to expand, payouts really dropped.
