Imperial Casino felt a bit tired on my last visit
Half-empty on a Saturday sounds rough, that'd put me off too. Was thinking of taking a trip up there since it's the closest actual casino to Invercargill for me 😅 did the pokies at least seem to be paying, or was the whole floor dead? Keen to hear if anyone else has noticed it going quiet lately.
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
FreespinLord, the pokies were cruising along fine actually - plenty of machines free so I never had to wait for a spin, and I walked out at the cage slightly ahead for once 💸. But yeah the vibe was dead for a Saturday, tables understaffed and thin crowd. Half your bankroll at the tables is the atmosphere, and that's what felt tired to me 🔥😭
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Lee, funny you say the pokies were fine - that's usually the last thing to go in a tired venue. Tables understaffed though, that's the tell. Seen it before at other places over the years: the old-school grind crowd drifts off first, and once the tables go quiet the whole floor loses its pulse. Turning 50 into 5k once at a dead quiet Sunday floor taught me one thing. A bit of silence can pay, but it doesn't keep a casino alive.
FreespinLord, mate, if it's your nearest actual casino it's still worth a trip once, just go in with modest expectations. Machines free on a Saturday means you can sit on one game and work it properly without someone breathing down your neck, which I honestly prefer these days 😄 just don't expect much atmosphere when you look up from the screen.
WildWin77 I get the quiet-floor logic but for me it kills the vibe 😅 half my reason for going is the buzz around the tables, and understaffed plus empty on a Saturday sounds mean grim. Maybe I'd give it one trip and see …
@Paul_Win screenshot sent to your inbox mate, cashed out a few hundred NZ$ ahead and I don't post fiction 😤 A quiet Saturday floor is a win in my book, more machines free and the pokies still pay when they want to... you should come see for yourself instead of calling it dead 🔥🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@JoshGold same energy here mate, quiet floor means every pokie free and I hit big last night on my favourite 🔥🤑 NZ$280 up. Don't need a crowd to cash out!
One slot, one love 🎰
@TomCashout NZ$280 up, nice one mate 🤑 maybe I'm being dumb but when you cash out at the cage on a quiet night, is it a long wait or pretty quick? Only been in a couple of times and still learning the whole process 😅
Honestly a quiet floor sounds alright to me too, I hate hovering behind someone waiting for a machine. Might pop in on a Saturday arvo myself and see what the vibe's like 🎰
New here, soaking it up.
Free machines everywhere on a Saturday would put me off too, honestly 😅 nobody wants to walk into a quiet room, even if the pokies are paying.

Maybe I'd give it one trip and see if the pokies actually pay before writing it off. Does anyone know if nights pick up later or is Saturday dead all evening?
Quiet floor just means more machines for me 😤 I'd take that trade any Saturday, this slot pays when it's not crowded 👀
@WildWin77 hard agree mate, quiet Saturday is my favourite session, no queuing for machines 😤 cleaned up NZ$260 one dead-quiet night, mean vibe actually 🤑🎰
