I was planning to use the two day offer with food and beverage included that I received in the mail. I am glad that I decided not to use it on my last trip. I did not even visit the casino since there is no good video poker. It sounds like I did not miss out on anything.

about it and just wondered what are the general impressions about it.
Would love to hear any comments,thanks!<<
Southcoast is the casino closest to our home. We were really looking forward to it, hoping it would have the 10/7 DB that Orleans has. We visited the second week it was open. First Impression: who puts fruit on the doorhandles of a casino? It is South Coast, it has a Southern California theme (if you can find it), but fruit? Alligators, maybe, Terrible Herbst's Logo, maybe, but not fruit). Through the door, waiting for the ambiance to hit me.
Nothng. Vast room, lots of machines. Nothing full pay. Best game triple play 9/6 .25 JB.
Go to slot club. We registered on line and were told we would get card, tee shirt, free dinner coupons when we went to pick up the card. We waited in line - were told there would be a place so we would not have to wait in line, it was not to be seen. We were handed our cards, put in our pin numbers. She wished us a nice day. I asked for the tee shirt. She went to get them....all large, no choice. She smiled. I asked for our free dinner passes. She took them off a stack in front of her, handed them to us and smiled, then - like a light bulb went off - she also handed us a fun book. I smiled. We left the place.
We received coupons in the mail as Coast card holders for previous play at other casinos. It included $20 free play for each of us. We went yesterday to redeem the play. Put our cards in the slot at the triple plays. It showed our current Coast Club point count. Then, nothing. We put on our change lights and I went in search of a slot attendent. Found none. I saw a guy in a blue shirt. I asked if he was a floor person or a dealer. He didn't answer the question, but asked if he could help. I asked how I redeemed my $20 play. He said to go to the slot club. I said I had been there the line was very long and I had already done that. He said that he had just been there, there was no line and - I quote - "Sweetheart, you just have to stand in line like everyone else". He was a dealer. I headed to the slot club....the line was long. I went back to the machine and hubby was talking to a floor manager. He said he would put in new pin numbers for us. He did that, then he announced that he
was told the sysem was down. He gave us another two free dinners at the buffet. I told him to please keep dealers from giving advice to slot players. We left. We are debating whether we want to return. $40 free play may be worth it.
Comments I have heard from others: It has no charisma, totally lacking in character. One person went to free breakfast buffet and said it was so bad he was about to ask for his money back. The handicapped parking is too far away from the doors.
Maybe it will find its niche, maybe when they "change machines in a couple of months" (from the floor person) it will improve.
We can only hope.
Cheers!
