I'm not sure what they were hoping to find. I can see if it was a concert then I'd be a little more understanding of the measures practiced. Gross!!! It was very extreme of security to post that type of restriction at a family event. I don't know how he kept it straight because the bags were just sitting at the floor of the Uhaul bad. For $10, I begrudgingly left my purse with this strange man. Who carries an evening purse size purse to the Gulls game? Since the other women decided to leave their bags, so do I. At first we said heck with the game lets just leave! How unprofessional!!! This is a family event. Theres a Uhaul truck parked at the back of the stadium, rollup door is up and a guy by himself is collecting bags, handbags, purses. Hell no, not throwing away my purse!!! Smh. Said we couldn't bring the purse in but we could throw it away or check it. We thought ok then we'll empty everything into a friends clear bag. The container was so small an evening bag might fit in it. Security had a container that your purse should fit inside. We weren't prepared but i had a small purse so didn't think I had a problem. Select folks were prepared and brought clear bags for their stuff. Upon entry the usual search of bags, purses, etc was taking place. I can't speak for the rest of the machines, but if you are a serious Video Poker player who likes to move around trying several machines you may be disappointed.Went to see the SD gulls play. My friends and I agreed maybe we should head down the road. The machines were old and had odd button configurations making it almost uncomfortable to play. They were sticky and several of the buttons on several of the machines were not responsive. The machines were filthy with full ashtrays and half consumed drinks.

Turned out to be the least of my worries. I found it odd to be listening to a TV while trying to play. The bar had a huge TV that had the volume up loud. What I found was a couple banks of machines tucked away in the back near a bar. My friends headed right for the penny games like most players and I headed out looking for the video poker. I had never been so I thought, sure why not. I had company in town and they suggested playing at Valley View Casino one afternoon. I realize that video poker is not a huge draw at casinos anymore, but I enjoy playing it.
