We wish them well, but feel that it's necessary to warn our readers about our experience with this particular part of the operation at Sierra Star.

If the casino cannot pay its marketers (or will not pay) it cannot be a good sign and most extreme caution must be exercised when dealing with them. We suggest playing elsewhere.
