You rarely nearly hit a jackpot it really did just miss, but not near as often ad the computer chip machines of these days. A LOT of NEAR HIT MISSES to entertain the simple mind to think 'oh I just missed jackpot, better dump some more in' though they say it's generated random, coming from the good ole days of real slot machines and true random, you figure it out. Get them to sit down and empty what they can out of you. Every time I visit for years since Detroit Casino's opened I take them up there. The casino's make a lot of money, spend a little to make us feel safe! If you want to go to a nice, clean and very friendly casino, go to Firekeepers Casino in Battle Creek. But if I go to a casino where I have the ever so slim chance to leave with any kind of winnings, I want to feel that I can safely do so. This may be my deciding factor if I go back here or somewhere else that I am not afraid of being preyed upon when I leave! I spend a lot of time in Detroit, so I know what to expect. I was almost afraid to walk to my car, but he stayed in the elevator to hit up the next group of people. During my last visit, on the way out, there was a 'homeless panhandler' in the elevator begging people for money. If it does, go to the smoke-free area! Lack of security floors me! MGM is located in a fairly bad area and anyone can walk off the streets into the parking structure.

I did not have an issue with the smoke, but it doesn't bother me. I don't think the slots are any tighter here than at the others. I have spent 8 hours there and have only seen them once! Many newer slots and pretty clean. When you do see them, which is seldom, they are almost in a sprint they're walking so fast.

Good luck getting a drink IF you can locate one of the few cocktail servers. From the security at the door to the waitstaff. Staff is Not friendly like you would expect.
