We stopped by for the lunch buffet, hadn't been here in a while. Still a great lunch. My wife won $60 on the penny slots, I broke even on the craps table. Good day over all!

I walked into a craps game about 4:30 am on a sat morning and doubled my money in about an hour. A couple of the guys on the other end of the table were rolling for awhile I never even got the dice. The staff would not give me green chips when the table started winning so I took my handfulls of 10.00 chips the cashier and left. The 10.00 min must have been to keep out the low rollers but sometimes we show up. Anyway, they do have a nice heated smoking room outside. I would imagine it would be pretty crowded in the day though. I think they should have some low roller tables but they must do just fine with the Bellagio minimums. If they did have a 5.00 dollar craps table I would show up and spend some money every week as I drive by it everyday. But for now my average is once a year.

Previous reports are absolutely correct. This boat is very pretentious; it wants to be much more than it actually is. The minimums are ridiculously high. The minimums are akin to a very nice place on the strip. I

I was in there recently on a Friday afternoon, 2ish, and there were no craps tables below $15! That is absolutely unnecessary. It's a riverboat in Elgin Illinois!! Their players club takes care of slot players however. The lady plays slots there, and she is always getting offers in the mail for free play or free food. Myself, particularly craps and vp, well I get nothing.

The gaming floor and atmosphere leave much to be desired. The walkways are absurdly narrow, the place feels like walls and walls of slots with a few table games in the middle. Their attitude toward their players is like that of a sports stadiums alcohol policy in that they know they have a captive gambling audience, and they'll charge whatever they want and as much as they possibly can.

The one redeeming quality about their table games, and the reason I gave them a two instead of a one, is that they offer good odds on craps. When you hit a hot table just right, you can make some money. However, with their absurd high minimums, you're much more likely to be run off quickly by a cold table, left to contemplate throwing more money at an angry pass line or wait for the lady and the RNGs with flashing lights.

You're better off playing the lottery.

Years ago it wasn't a bad place, but now it's just silly. You bet 50 credits win 3 and so on. A few times I've walked in the door with $5,000 and all I left with is credit card and atm receipts from even more cash advances.

I'm not sure if it is new management or greed, but they make it very hard to win now. Nowadays I would say avoid this place!

I play in Vegas, Atlantic City and many other casinos in Illinois and have never experienced anything like this one. I played one machine tonight and spent $7,000 in it without getting anything bigger than a $400 hit. A $5 machine should pay more than $400. These machines are so tight!!!!
