6-11-25 Machine 17 had out of order sign on it, asked employees when it would be fixed and they had no info to give.
Machine 18 jammed 3 times in a row before I gave up, would recommend using dollar bills over card at this machine.
The other 6 machines worked great!
As for the jammed messed up coins i was able to take to guest relations, across the way from the main entrance, and get a refund. EB
