My overall opinion is wow what a great thing to happen in downtown Schenectady and I look forward to the expansion and seeing this place in the summer when everything opens up on the river. The whole place is on a fast track with Druthers brew pub opening up on the property. I have not eaten a the casino but hear Dukes is really good. Looks like a lot of options for slots and table games including a poker room. The pit boss explained the rules to the guy and that seamed to get the game going again. This slowed the whole table down over one selfish guy. While at a card game one guy would not follow the rules and the dealer was really patient with him had to call the pit boss to help out. There are some really miserable players with nothing better to do then complain. The worst part was the jerks that we're giving them a hard time. When was the last time a private business took this big of a chance on our upstate economy? We really need all the help we can get and this is a Great Leap Forward! As far as the gambling goes it's a new house with a lot of new dealers, but you know what I found them to be helpfull and trying really hard. It's interesting to see how this 330 million investment in our area will help. Went to Rivers with no expectations and had a great time.
