Machines pay well, but the Magic City Pelota combination race book and restaurant on the third floor is pathetic. On September 9, 2022, I ordered food, during which I was told by the food worker "if you don't buy a $20.00 voucher, you can't eat by the restaurant, it would have to be to go".
I wanted to go back to the slots, so I ordered it to go.
I bet a race while waiting for my food, and I sat down waiting. A huge bald Latin male security guard came over and told me "You can't be here"!
My response "I'm waiting for food, and I bet the race. I'm NOT a $2.00 race better either!" There were only 5 other people in the area at the time, and lots of empty seats and tables. "You can't be here"! Where was I supposed to wait for my food, and do you think I will go that restaurant again? NO!
I felt offended, went back to the casino and told the manager (Nadia?) about the situation, asking if white people aren't welcomed at Magic City? She said the Casino doesn't own the restaurant or the race book, and she instructed me to go to the casino security office and complain, I DID! When the Security office took a copy of my players card verifying my complaint, they said they "know exactly who you described, it couldn't be anyone else". I asked again, if he harassed me because I was white, and their response was, we will tell the supervisor. FYI, my wife is a Latina, I speak Spanish, and wasn't the taking any seat for people that were waiting. Again, only 5 others were there.
Magic City do your policies approve racism?
Magic City, racism has no place in Florida!
