no one warned me or i missed it some where. i visited ST Joseph Mo and was looking for the river boat got lost then when on right by missed turn off (not marked)came back marked. you must apply for a card or you can not get in. they will not under any circumstance give you 2 or even talk about a blank. i tried to put money in the machine would not take it. was advised only with a card in can you play. same went for the crap table you drop your card along with the cash. and have to ask to get it back. never found a extra card as i was exiting found out why they ask to see my card as i was leaving. rest of the river boats not that strict. you can only lose $500 within in 24 hours. and you are asked to leave. was most impressed with the Ameristar (old stations casino) bigest operations. next harrah's Isle of capri not doing that well.
