"Right when we got in, we saw the new games they had, we have been here several times and at the Vacaville location. This one has more modern games and we loved it! The owner made us feel so welcomed here. He even had a welcome sign for me and our family. We played for a long time today and only spent $40! This would have not even lasted 5 minutes at other spots, or casinos, we have been too. It’s affordable, fun, modern, and we took a lot fun prizes and pics! I loved every moment of it. Every staff we have had always gone out of their way to help us. We missed seeing Saul today! One more"
