Table Games: Blackjack and roulette. Well, the roulette is there every other trip, then gone again. Bingo is also back. There was an effort once to clean this place up. But you know the saying: you can take the whore out of the gutter, but you can't take the gutter out of the whore. Tables are closed during breakfast hours.

Bet Minimums: They always have $3 blackjack, and sometimes several tables of it. You might find a $2 table if you're lucky and go during the day. There is a near guarantee that some break-in dealer will occasionally pay you by mistake. The roulette is a quarter.

Machines: Some newer games and video poker. There is a some full-pay video poker for the man or woman brave enough to go looking for it.

Cocktails? Surprisingly, they will bring you free drinks if you're playing, but they might not be very pleasant about it. Canned beer and small, flavorless well drinks are the order of the day. Don't bother trying to get them to bring you a Schlitz, though. We've asked a billion times; more and more loudly as the night wears on.

Who Gets Comps? Anybody betting ten bucks or more at the tables should ask for some free grub but probably won't. No matter, since nobody in his right mind would want to eat it. If you are not in your right mind, keep bugging the pit boss because he will never come right out and offer you free food.

Eazy Cafe: Really bottom of the barrel snacks, like chili dogs, dry turkey sandwiches, some Mexican specialties, and now cheap pizza. It's very low-cost, but not good. If you are drunk and absolutely dying for something greasy, and you're here anyway, go for it. The 99-cent menu has quesadillas, baked potatoes, chicken wraps and a few other choices. Eazy is open 6 a.m. to midnight.

Crazy People: Sit down at a blackjack table or slot machine and strike up a conversation with the person next to you. Chances are about one in three that you will come away with a few gems from the conversation. After all, these people are crazy.
