There are slot machines everywhere, including a smoking area on an outside deck, and table games on both levels. The owners put so much thought into making their establishment welcoming that if it weren't for the slot machines everywhere I would even call it life-affirming. The employees not only seem happy to be there (the security personnel who ID'd us when we walked in were dancing to the music) but many seemed very proud of the establishment and enjoyed talking about it. Many casinos inundate you with the (manufactured) noise of spinning slots, but here the background noise is provided mainly by the music system, and half the time that is from the live band downstairs. It is brightly lit with wide open spaces, which just makes the overall atmosphere very pleasant. The Horseshoe Casino Baltimore has to be the most enjoyable casino I have ever visited.
