Atmosphere
A moderately quiet casino which is still experimenting with new ideas to bring in gamblers. They used to have regular poker tournaments, but gave them up and are still trying to figure out what else they could do to attract poker business (and other types of business). The 3 poker tables are all in the table-games pit, but since there are three of them they get their own "end" of the pit and feel somewhat connected. While technically games start at 4pm at Rail City, generally there aren't enough players until 5pm, when some of the regulars get off work.

Tables and Chairs: 10-seat tables with green felt and shiny black vinyl armrests. Slide-in cup holders. Fixed-leg standard metal-frame chairs.

Parking: Hundreds of spaces in the open-air parking lot on the south and east sides of the building.

Smoking: Smoking is allowed.

Service and Comps
Occasional standard casino cocktail service.

$1/hour in comps.

Cheap food available for players, served by a waitress who gets it and serves it on a little side table. You can eat while you play. Food quality is OK, but not great.
