Has anyone gambled with bitcoin at the D? Any different
approaches to gambling with the exchanges? How's video poker if any?
This just amazes me after hearing that casinos are limited so as not to
Make thier chips currency here's a casino separate area using a totally
New currency.
Thanks Dave

I believe the D only accepts bitcoin for retail and hotel transactions. No word of plans to extend to gaming.

The D has an automated bitcoin kiosk that you can withdraw and exchange your bitcoins for USD cash, there is a fee of course associated with this process. You can get a far better deal exchanging Bitcoins for USD on exchanges like Cryptsy.com, or locally sell them to other people though localbitcoins.com. Ask me for details on this.
Video Poker at the D is decent, 9/6 JOB and other 99.5ish games. They have the vintage machines upstairs that use quarters and are a 'bast of the past' and some other vintage games that you will not see anywhere else. Don't forget to touch the Blarney Stone while you are there!
I am not sure about the players club, It did not seem like something of value to me, though Royal Flusher might have more to say on this.
But, if you like black painted walls, girls in red lingerie dancing on risers, and techno/trance house music playing though the casino - this might be the place for you to be.

Vintage.... I was in town last year and played a promotion at the D. As I recall, the promo was good for about 10K of action, and then you were negative EV again. I settled on the superannuated $NSUD uprights on the second floor. I couldn't get a bill into some of them. I think I got some old bills from the little cage. The first one I played the buttons weren't functioning properly. I moved on to the next machine in the bank. I selected my first hand and hit the draw button. The button launched itself over my head and landed on the floor somewhere behind my right shoulder. "Well, that's never happened before," I said to myself, as the bank was completely unoccupied. I picked the button up and carefully placed it back in the hole in the machine from where it came. I moved on to the next machine. It was a fairly brutal session, but I did hit my deuces so when I hit my 10K in action and was ready to stop I was a little ahead. Cashing out some $600 or $700 dollars. I grabbed a couple of buckets (because that's what we did in the old days) and hit the button. The machine locked up and I waited for a hand pay. A hand pay. The attendant congratulated me on my good luck and counted bills into my hand and in a fit of optimism broke down the final hundred into small bills.
I came back the next day to take the FP I had earned on the promotion. I think I played quarter or 50 cent NSUD on the old slant tops on the second floor. I ran my free play through and cashed out a couple of hundred. The machine started spitting nickels. Apparently nickel was the base game. I grabbed a couple of buckets and made a rough calculation on the odds of a hopper fill while I was getting my hands filthy scooping nickels. I did have to wait quite a while for a fill. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
