Editor's Comment
Bars with slots are a Nevada specialty rather than a widespread format. The appeal here is convenience: you can eat, drink and play from your barstool without walking a casino floor. PKWY Tavern is the more modern, rewards-driven option with seven locations and 24-hour gaming, while Slots-A-Fun is a deliberately retro, coin-operated throwback. Neither is an Irish venue, and this review hasn't established any Irish licence or availability for either. If you're outside Nevada, treat this as a guide to how the format works rather than a local listing.

What Are Bars With Slots?
A bar with slots is exactly what it sounds like: a licensed drinking and dining venue that also hosts gaming machines, usually at the bar itself. In Nevada this is a well-established format. PKWY Tavern describes itself as a gaming bar where you can "play from your barstool, no casino required," offering video poker, slot machines, keno and blackjack across all seven of its Las Vegas and Henderson locations (pkwytavern.com/gaming).
Slots-A-Fun at Circus Circus takes a different approach, presenting itself as "the original, coin-operated casino experience that feels like a grown-up arcade," with 100 coin-operated slot machines ranging from $0.25 to $1 and $5 (circuscircus.com/slots-a-fun). Both formats let you combine a drink or a meal with real-money play, but they differ in scale, style and setting.

How Bartop Gaming Works
At PKWY Tavern, gaming machines are built into or placed at the bar, so you can order a drink and play without leaving your seat. The venue lists four game types: video poker, slot machines, keno and blackjack. Video poker is described as "the most popular bar game in Las Vegas," with multiple game types running 24 hours at all seven locations. Slot machines are reel-based and sit right at the bar. Keno players who hit a $400 or more jackpot can spin a wheel for a bonus prize, and bartop blackjack lets you play at your own pace (pkwytavern.com/gaming).
Slots-A-Fun works differently: it is a dedicated coin-operated slot area rather than a bartop setup, with retro reels, coin drops and flashing lights. The bar side offers classic staples and arcade-style bites, so you can grab a drink and keep playing (circuscircus.com/slots-a-fun).
Promotions And Rewards
PKWY Tavern's free rewards card is the main hook for regulars. Signing up is free and unlocks a new card sign-up bonus, weekly free play offers for current carded players, and daily promotions including a wheel spin for hitting four of a kind on the card of the day and a wheel spin for a $400 or more keno jackpot (pkwytavern.com/gaming).
The venue also runs a seasonal $100,000 Pro Football Suited Royals promotion from September 9, 2026 to January 10, 2027. The first PKWY Rewards member to hit a natural royal flush in all four suits on eligible video poker during designated pro football promotional hours wins $100,001 cash or $120,000 in Free Play at the $1.00 denomination and above, or $10,000 cash or $12,000 in Free Play at the 25¢ and 50¢ level. The rewards card must be inserted before the hand is dealt, and only traditional non-wild video poker counts. Full terms are in the official rules.
Slots-A-Fun's supplied page does not list a comparable rewards programme; its draw is the low-cost, coin-operated format and $2 food and drink specials.
Where To Find These Bars
PKWY Tavern's seven locations span Las Vegas and Henderson: Flamingo (9820 W Flamingo Rd), Tivoli (450 S Rampart Blvd), Decatur (4930 W Flamingo Rd), Centennial (5990 Centennial Center Blvd), District (2235 Village Walk Dr #141, Henderson), Marks (445 Marks St, Henderson) and Volunteer (511 W Dale Ave, Henderson). All are listed as open 24 hours (pkwytavern.com/gaming).
Slots-A-Fun is at Circus Circus on the Las Vegas Strip and is also open 24 hours a day, seven days a week (circuscircus.com/slots-a-fun).
What To Check Before You Go
Both venues state a minimum gambling age of 21. PKWY Tavern notes that promotions are subject to change without notice and that management reserves all rights. The $100,000 promotion has specific eligibility rules: the hand must start and finish inside the promotional window, the rewards card must be inserted before the deal, and excluded games include Spin Poker, Multi-Strike, Wheel Poker, Dream Card, Quick Quads, Pick-A-Pair and any game using wild or substitute cards. College football, preseason, playoff and championship games do not qualify for the football promotion (pkwytavern.com/gaming).
This review hasn't established any licence details for either venue beyond what the sources state, and nothing here should be read as legal advice. If you are outside Nevada, check your local rules before travelling or playing.
