Review of Scioto Downs Racino

I don't go there to Gamble, My own personal opinio...

I don't go there to Gamble, My own personal opinion is not to waist money especially at a casino. I always feel like they are rigged for you to lose. Just from watching TV shows, Lol...I have only been there twice to cash my my pick four lottery winnings that I have won twice on the same pick four in two months. (Yes it is technically/no literally gambling as well) But I only spend $7.00 once a week, so $21.00 a month) I go to the gas station where I purchased my ticket & they filled out there portion of the paperwork, then I filled out mine. I thought I was going to get the money from them since it was under $1,000. He tells me to go to Scioto Downs or I believe the other name for it is "Eldorado Scioto Downs" 6000 North High St., just off Route 23 on the left. I go there and they were so polite. The lady explained to me that I did not need to go to the gas station to fill out the paperwork. She told me that I could just go directly there and explained that I needed to refill the current paperwork they had. She said it will take a few minutes and she would be right back. I waited for about 5 minutes and she came back and paid me my winnings minus the $10.00 charge for cashing it. The second time I won on the same number I forgot the lady told me I can go to them directly. So I went back and a guy helped me this time he told me the reason I should go directly to them and reason was because their forms from the gas station were so outdated I would have to fill out a a form again everytime. So he said their was a couple of other people that were waiting on their winnings to be cashed and all though I was not gambling...he told me and my mother in law if we wanted while we were waiting we could help ourselves to free cold beverages (non alcoholic of course) and hot beverages as well. Hot chocolate and coffee. We got our drinks and sat down. I ended up getting another refill and by then he was ready so I went and picked up my winnings. $790.00. He said next time we see you maybe you will be cashing $5000.00 from a straight not a box. I said to Let's Hope!! It's only been a couple weeks now, so I am just waiting for the big winning this time!! But the casino seemed like and old school casino from the TV series Las Vegas the one when they first started and before they changed the set. But I like the feel of it better then the Casino on Georgesville Rd. My mother in law took me there gave me $20.00 to play whatever I wanted. She only brought $40.00 20 for me and 20 for her. We both lost...Lol
