Casino Gambling in Hallandale Beach

For most people in the United States, dog racing is unheard of. The sport of greyhound racing is legal only in a few places, Florida being one of them. Hallandale Beach, a city located in Broward County on the Atlantic coast of Florida, offers tourists and locals the chance to enjoy wagering on the races, a rare treat and novelty for most visitors staying in holiday vacation rentals in Hallandale Beach.

The Mardi Gras Casino

The greyhound racing track is located at a facility called the Mardi Gras Casino. Famed in greyhound racing circles, it hosts the World Classic races each year. The Mardi Gras Casino is about much more than the races, however. The facility boasts more than 70,000 square feet of interior space and spans several stories.

On the first and third stories, tourists can find slot machines in denominations that range from a penny up to $25 per pull. Penny slots are a particular attraction of the Mardi Gras Casino; they have been phased out in many locales as being less than cost-effective for the casino's business operations. Tourists know, however, that there are few better deals for your "gambling dollar" than to indulge in a 100 pulls on a penny slot machine. It Lady Luck is not with you, it will take you a long time to run through your dollar, and if you get lucky, the return on your tiny investment will be considerable.

The Mardi Gras Casino also features the Big Easy Poker Room. Open 24 hours a day, the lounge has 30 tables, with Texas Hold'em and Seven-Card Stud popular games with vacationers.
