I visited Casino Rama to check it out, I printed out the 9/6 JB and
9/7 DB locations and they made it easy to find. I wanted to compare
it with Atlantic City because from Pittsburgh they are about the same
distance from me, the traffic to Canada is less and the roads are
better, though I hit a lot of traffic by Toronto,and the Pennsylvania
turnpike will give you a nervous breakdown. The video poker is
similar but not the same as the Borgata and I can find something to
play at either place. It is easier to get something to eat at Casino
Rama than at the Borgata and that may be the deciding factor when
I'm
ready to go to a Casino again. When I signed up for my slot card the
lady said I would get more points the first day (double?) I
didn't
hit any royals and was jumping from machine to machine trying them
all out, the next time I go, I'll concentrate on the 9/6 JB. I
asked
for a room, but they said they were full, I didn't think I could
get
one but it doesn't hurt to ask. They give you a chit when you
exchange USD to get the same rate if you do it before 5am. I like Las
Vegas but I have to fly out their and if I can find at least 9/6 JB
within driving distance, I'll go there. I might try Woodbine
sometimes too. Thanks for the information about the Canadian casinos

Casino Rama, first time visit
You will like the rooms at Casino Rama, they are first rate. The bounce back cash is quite good if you get a chance to use it. They are good with the food comps as well. Woodbine has the good Pick-Em machines, but it goes downhill after that.

What route did you take from Pittsburgh to Toronto that involved the
Pennsylvania turnpike, (or were you referring just to the section in
the immediate Pittsburgh area)?

I meant that when I go to Atlantic City I use the Pennsylvania
turnpike and I was comparing the difference between driving to Casino
Rama in Canada and driving to the Borgata in Atlantic City.
