Charles,

Saw your post on Tunica. The one in Wetumpka is called Riverside Casino. I know they have a building, because there is a picture of it on the website. And I know the 3rd one down in Atmore is the largest. But the one in Tallapoosa is supposed to be 21000 sq ft and only have 500 machines. I think it's one exit past Shorter. I just heard the payouts are better. We may go check it out, but I bet its too crowded. I'll let you know what I find out!!!

Hey Bama,

I can already vouch for the racino in Shorter. That place is huge. Have you been there? I haven't really won there, (but then, I don't win anywhere ) but my parents have, and my friends. They have a ton of games, and it's a lot of fun. We're going to go there tomorrow, as well as check out the small casino in Wetumka. I'll let ya'll know how it is when we get back!!

Margaret,

I visited someone near Russellville, AL a few weeks ago. I think they actually lived closer to Belgreen. He had a beautiful place on a lake. I think he said it was TVA property. But I don't think it's too far from you. It sure is pretty up there.

Bama, Margaret, Charles,and anyone wanting to play slots in Alabama,

We checked out the casino in Tallapoosa yesterday. It's called Tallapoosa Entertainment Center. It's basically just one big room of class II slots. But we actually enjoyed it. We didn't stay long, because my friend was anxious to check out the changes in the much larger Shorter casino. I might go back sometime and hang out for a while, because I'd like to see if the payout is better there. But it really is just one smoky room. They have a nice little variety of machines though. This is owned by the Poarch Creek Indians, and they have 3 casinos ("entertainment centers") in Alabama. The website is www.pcigaming.com.

Shorter, on the other hand, has made some amazing changes, and continues to do so. They have a grand new entrance, and have opened a new casino section. They are building a buffet and a new deli, and a hotel. They have a new players club center, gift shop,and ice cream shop. The upstairs still just looks like a dog track, but the downstairs has class II slots for as far as you can walk. Just when you think you've seen the whole thing, you find a whole 'nother section. Their website is www.quincys777.com. If this place is close enough to you, it's definitely good for a "gaming fix".

So no one in my group won, and everyone is convinced the payout is better there at night, but we played all day and had a great time. It was girls day. It was me, my mom, my friend Millie, and an ex co-worker who has now retired named Shirley. She was new to gaming, but caught on very quickly! We had such a nice day, and stopped for a nice dinner on our way home. Took a drive through the square of Lagrange and the back road to Hogansville for a change of pace and scenery, then got back on the highway. Still made record time because Shirley exceeds all speed limits by far more than I would ever be brave enough to do!! A good time was had by all!!!

Margaret,

That's why every time someone mentions a casino I'm not familiar with, I ask "where is that?". I have a horrible fear of finding out that I've been close to one and not stopped!!!!

No, Diz. I don't really know, but it has something to do with being Class II machines. It's a racino. The dog track has been there for years, and they've added on the casino part.

Haven't driven from Shorter to Pearl River. It would be about a 4 hour drive. Honestly, if I was in Pearl River, I would stay put. The gaming choices are much better. As I said earlier, Shorter serves nicely as a "quick fix" for when I can't get to a real casino, or a stop off place on your way to somewhere. I wouldn't go 4 hours out of my way.
