On the morning of Friday, June 25, we paid a visit to Resorts World, which had celebrated its grand opening the night before.
The initial phase of our journey involved grappling with the perplexing task of locating a suitable parking spot. Our quest led us to the conclusion that the optimal, if not sole, route to the casino parking deck lay along Goh Tong Way, accessible from Sammy Davis Jr/Industrial. Regrettably, the opposite direction on Goh Tong was obstructed. Eventually, we managed to secure a spot on the highest level, where an abundance of vacant parking spaces awaited. Meanwhile, the lower floors were inundated with vehicles, leaving no room for additional arrivals.
On the first morning when the casino opened, we discovered the minimum and maximum bets for table games as displayed below. It is common for these limits to decrease slightly after the initial excitement subsides.
Resorts World blackjack
During my visit to Resorts World, I stumbled upon a trio of blackjack games. To begin with, there was a 6:5 blackjack game where the cards were dealt from a continuous shuffle machine, all for a minimum bet of $15. Additionally, I discovered a Free Bet Blackjack table offering the same 6:5 odds, but with a slightly higher minimum bet of $25. Notably, these particular games allowed players to place maximum bets of up to $5,000, adding an enticing element of high-stakes excitement.
In the vast realm of blackjack games, there exists a solitary high limit table that beckons the daring and the affluent. It proudly displays a minimum bet range that starts as low as $100 and stretches all the way up to a breathtaking $10,000. As one peruses the bustling casino floor, a discerning eye may spot a handful of other tables where the minimum bets soar even higher. A distinct feature of this particular game is its utilization of six decks, ensuring a thrilling complexity that tests the wit of its participants. With a generous payout ratio of 3:2, the game adheres to the traditional standards of rewarding those who emerge victorious. Furthermore, the dealer, clad in a vestige of authority, stands resolute upon the elusive soft 17. As if these enticing qualities weren't enough, the game bestows upon its players the rare opportunity to surrender, gracefully bowing out of a hand deemed unfavorable. To further amplify the exhilaration, the game permits the act of re-splitting aces, granting the astute strategist an additional chance to turn the tide of fortune in their favor.

Experience the ultimate thrill of video poker at Resorts World
Resorts World offers an extensive range of video poker games, with a variety of options to suit every player's preference. You can find these exciting games conveniently situated in different areas throughout the resort. Whether you're looking to test your luck near the lively food court, enjoy a refreshing drink at the bars, or try your hand at the high stakes in the exclusive high limit area, there are video poker machines available for your entertainment. You'll be delighted by the diverse selection of poker variants on offer, ensuring that you never run out of options to explore and enjoy.
At the bar, you'll find a wide selection of Game Kings featuring a generous video poker menu. The denominations available range from quarters to half-dollars, dollars, two dollars, and five dollars. As you go up in value, the pay tables start to improve, particularly at the $2 denomination. However, even at lower denominations, you can still enjoy games like 7/5 Jacks or Better, 9/6/4 Double Bonus, and 8/5 Double Double Bonus. Personally, my top recommendation for the bar would be the 9/5 Double Double Bonus, which you can play at both the $2 and $5 levels. Additionally, there is also the 9/6/5 Double Bonus variant for you to try your luck with.
At the bar, you'll find a variety of video poker games to suit your preferences. Just like the single line games, the three, five, and ten-play games offer a similar experience. If you're up for something different, there are also other exciting options such as Ultimate X, Ultimate X Bonus Streak, Spin Poker, Super Triple Play, double zero roulette, and even money blackjack. When it comes to the denominations for the video poker variants, you can usually choose from dime, quarter, half-dollar, and dollar.
On the casino floor, you'll find an assortment of video poker games to suit every player's tastes. From single line to three, five, and ten-play variations, there's something for everyone. Just like the bar, the single line games offer different denominations, ranging from $10 to $50. When it comes to the floor's variants, you can expect to find exciting options like Ultimate X, Ultimate X Bonus Streak, Three Way Action, Split Card, and Dream Card. Rest assured, the denominations available at the bar are just as comparable to the ones you'll find on the floor.
I stumbled upon some really interesting games during my visit to the casino. There were a few options that caught my attention, such as 8/5 Bonus Poker, 9/7/5 Double Bonus, and 9/6 Double Double Bonus on Split Card. What surprised me the most was that these games were available at both $2 and $5 denominations. It's not often that you come across such high-limit variants.
Instead of playing the high limit machines with denominations of $10, $25, $50, or $100, I suggest trying out the multi-hand machines instead. In these machines, you can find exciting games like 8/5 Bonus Poker, 9/7/5 Double Bonus, and 9/6 Double Double Bonus in the high limit Hot Roll section. Interestingly, the high limit traditional multi-hand games offered similar pay tables as well. If you prefer lower denominations, you can opt for the $1, $2, $5, or $10 options available in these multi-hand games.

Resorts World thoughts
The parking deck at the casino leaves much to be desired, although it does have the advantage of being free. Unfortunately, it is located quite a distance away from the actual casino itself. Furthermore, the pathway leading from the deck is rather narrow and lacks any sort of shade, making it quite an uncomfortable journey on hot summer days. Moreover, it seems that construction work is still ongoing throughout the entire casino property, adding to the overall inconvenience. Lastly, the line to obtain a players card was unbelievably long, causing significant difficulties in maneuvering through that particular area of the casino.
Arriving at Resorts World this morning, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Judging by the tweets I had seen the previous night, I was bracing myself for the worst. However, as I stepped onto the casino floor, I was pleasantly surprised. The construction was complete, and most of the areas that guests frequent were fully prepared. To be honest, I would consider this grand opening to be reasonably successful. Of course, perfection is a rarity, but I didn't encounter any disastrous situations during my visit.
I extend my warmest regards to Resorts World, hoping for their utmost success. The property truly stands out in its excellence.
