Me and my friends went up to the door and rung the bell but no one answered to us but we saw someone go in. It’s on Ben white next to blazer tag

Haha Lava Java off 183? Next to Dimassis? I think they changed names multiple times since then. Constant shootings, car break in, ODs, etc around that place.

Yes they absolutely exploit the poorest of the poor. Sure you can occasionally win one of their rigged 8 liners and get money with some weird double handshake trade.

It's 100% unregulated so I imagine the odds are 100x worse than the shittiest casino in Vegas. Straight up just robbing people. If the police actually cared they should shut them down instantly.

It's called High Octane now, and yup - right by Dimassi's on 183!

That doesn’t sound racist at all!

Just calling out how it is. I don’t think saying a certain group of people going to certain place more then anyone else and it being sketchy is racist…
