Naples Slot Parlor Takes Focus Off $$$

On any given day, the Palace Games Too is filled with the happy faces of people playing their favorite slot machine. It might surprise you to know that nobody’s actually winning any money. Well – not cash, anyway. This mini-casino, located in a discount outlet mall in the busy tourist town of Naples, Florida, attracts folks who play the slot games for fun and entertainment, mostly, since the most that anyone is going to win for playing is a few gift cards.

The Palace Games Too was the brainchild of Nancy S. Kelly, who created the original Palace Games in Bonita Springs back in 2004. Kelly wanted to create an entertainment venue for folks to eat, drink, gamble, and socialize in a fun and intimate atmosphere. Palace Games Too has one hundred thirty-three slot machines, some of which cost as little as eight cents a spin. It would not be legal for Kelly’s operation to host slots if players gambled for cash, so guests play for gift cards to such local landmarks as Publix supermarkets, the Bonefish Grill restaurant, Target, and Home Depot. If you win over one hundred dollars, your winnings are automatically placed on a Visa gift card.

In terms of hospitality, Palace Games Too can’t be beat. The establishment is open from nine in the morning until midnight seven days a week, and free food is catered around the clock. If you come in during the morning, you’ll get breakfast with your slots experience; later in the day you can expect lunch or dinner, or just a snack and a non-alcoholic drink. Kelly focuses on keeping the environment sociable and inviting. She personally decorates the mini-casino for all holidays, and likes to greet her guests personally.
