My husband and I are not big gamblers. The Calder Casino was next door to our hotel so we thought we would go see what it was like. It was a very neat place! Entirely electronic games. They also had a buffet. The staff was friendly and it was very clean. Caesars Casino is a Casino-like game and does not offer real money gambling or an opportunity to win real money or prizes. Coins earned are for entertainment purposes only and cannot be cashed out for monetary value. The coins purchased are meant to increase the user’s playtime and status within the game.

Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the U.S. is having a better comeback than anticipated and that could bode well for South Florida casinos.

CBS 4 spoke with Steve Bourie who wrote the American Casino Guide which outlines everything you need to know about every casino in the country.

“Casinos cater to older customers so they may be a little cautious to return to casinos so it could affect their bottom line,” said Bourie from his Hollywood Florida home.

“But locals are likely to come back sooner than Vegas because you have to take a plane to get there, “ he says

Bourie expects South Florida casinos to offer incentives to bring back customers.

“The casinos will be more aggressive in marketing to offer better benefits to entice players to come back because players may be nervous in an enclosed environment,” he says.
