Hamburg Gaming

Went there last night with my daughter. I feel neutral about this place. Didn’t do much for either of us! It was clean, they had live music, A Tim Horton’s is always a plus! I was disappointed that they didn’t have more of a variety of the slots that I’m used to playing! I am thinking this casino caters more to those that are retired.

I have fun here. Music is usually good on Saturday nights and the machines usually allow me to play for a few hours. The food from the café is actually not too bad, the cookies are especially good.

I love this place. I think the only reason why people are rating it lower than average is because they lost some money, I’ve been there about 3 times. The foods great and so is the bar. I lost money and have won money there. Will be back several times.

Since I was at the fair and had already paid for parking I had to pop in here and see what was up. It’s a slots casino, no table games. Since I’m not a slots fan it didn’t do much for me.
I don’t think I’m the target audience.

I’ve been to enough casinos from Montréal to California to know what makes a gaming experience worth returning. This place ranked pretty low on my scale.
The game selection during my visit was real sticky small and very tight! The buffet was completely geared towards the geriatric crowd, and the staff seemed to be more focused on when their shift ended than they were what’s going on in front of them.
This place gets a pass from me. If you really want to gamble go to the Falls.

I’m not much for gambling, and frankly neither is the Hamburg Casino. It’s a slots parlor and exactly what you’d expect from that. Lots of blue haired old ladies feeding their retirement into the one armed bandits trying to walk away with more pennies than they came in with. Not a joke, watch where people congregate. The retirement village, bused in daily crowd pack the penny machines front to back. You won’t see them hovering near the quarter, or heaven forbid, the dollar and up machines.
The casino is very clean and I have heard the buffet is reasonably priced and good quality for the money (I didn’t have a chance to try it this time out). There are more casual ‘dining’ options available around the gaming floor. A Tim Horton’s sits right near the entrance and a small snack bar sits in the back. Prices are higher than you’d find in stand alone ‘food court’ type places, but not outrageously so. In fact the $ 8 cheese burger is about what you can expect to pay in several pubs and restaurants nearby.
I’ve never really understood the ‘vibe’ of a slot parlor as compared to a full blown casino. Slots places always felt a little sad to me. The pile of retirement village vans outside only fuels that feeling of quiet desperation they seem to foster. If only my penny bet can pull down that $ 4m progressive jackpot… if only. A full casino on the other had has that vibe of high risk and high reward that comes with watching people bet $ 50 — $ 100 on a single card turn at blackjack.
Still, the Hamburg casino has a friendly vibe and the staff is always smiling and happy to help or answer questions. Free valet parking also frees up some extra cash for a few extra pulls at the wheels.
If you’re looking for a place to drop $ 20-​$ 40 and maybe walk out with a little more than you came in with, you’ll do just fine. If you want the big casino feel and real table games, drive north to Niagra and have at it.

Most would fear 3-​starring the casino that paid them $ 135 on a 1c slot machine pull. Like mooning the gods of fortune, peeing on the Blarney stone or throwing away a stale box of Lucky Charms.
I love winning. The real kind, not the passé Sheen varietal that’s quickly turned to vinegar. And while this victory proved so sweet, it couldn’t pull a single, fairly small room of slots and slots alone from the middle of the pack.
On one hand, most of the machines are penny pulls so your cheap ass doesn’t have an excuse to throw in a towel. On the other hand, the walking dead are notoriously fond of copper slots, so most of the room’s electricity comes from pacemakers. In neither, a drink (wharr be the floor waitress?)
Sightly vapid, very geriatric yet with a central bar, a buffet (happy face/​sad face) and a Tim Horton’s (!!), it’s still a decent afternoon killer.
