GrandWest Casino

All slot machines use smart card technology.
With Progressive Jackpots, bright lights flashing and the various sounds of the machines ringing at diverse decibels, the excitement is palpable, while players leave their seats to rush over and see what may appear to be a win!
The look on people’s faces as they play, every press in the constant hope of free games, or better still, the ultimate jackpot! Some set their machines on autoplay while wandering around to get a feel of which other machines will get them in a spin!
Some players feed the machines with wads of cash hoping it will pay out in multiples. It is often comical to watch players squabble over machines, like people fighting over parking bays.
