So many miles logged on those roads to Metropolis and Evansville. Starting when Merv Griffin opened up Players casino in Metropolis IL.
The wife and I have been going to these casinos for years now. So, no big loss gambling.just trying to warn people to manage their expectations before making the trip. We drove a long way to check it out so we stayed a couple of hours. All in all I spent about $80 on the slots. The onion rings weren’t so much deep fried as they were soaked in grease, like the deep fryer wasn’t fully heated so they just got soggy and grease logged. We ordered a chicken sandwich (it came out as three precooked chicken tenders like you’d get from Walmart frozen foods section on a bun), fries, and onion rings. The entire place smelled like cigarette smoke (they allow smoking inside). If you’re into absolutely terrible food at super high prices and 600 different versions of the same crappy slot game, this is your place. If the crappiest casino in Vegas mated with a trailer park, Oak Grove Casino would be the offspring.
Their advertisements (which air constantly here in middle Tennessee) claim that the casino is like Vegas.
