It was a weekday afternoon when we were there, and it was moderately busy they must be packed on weekends. I guess if you’ve been gambling for hours, it’s better than vending machines or going hungry. I think a beer was $7, but overall it wasn’t too appealing. There is currently one snack bar in the very back, and it’s very basic, with a few small tables tucked behind the gambling machines. There is a “high roller” room, but it’s still just games with $5, $10, and $20 per play instead of $1. As mentioned before, all of the games are electronic, but they actually look pretty cool. Right now all of the games are electronic, and the casino is divided into what was fairly obviously the first phase, in the front, and the newer phase in the back.
To be fair, however, the “pre-launch” casino that is there now is not at all what the finished product will be. it’s sort of the poor trailer park version of the above. Let’s just say Kings Mountain Two Kings Casino is not Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, or even a Mississippi river boat.
I am not a big gambler, but I have been to Casinos in Nevada, including Las Vegas, and to casinos in the Bahamas (cue James Bond music here) and to other states that offer gambling. So one afternoon recently a buddy and I decided to go see what the hubub was all about.
