Arguably the worst casino in the Midwest. I'm a black card holder(highest rank) and after losing thousands on various games you'd think I'd get something, anything for my patronage. But nothing. $100 free play maybe? Nah. Table games are beyond rigged for the house. In no fair game can you lose as consistently as I have. It's mathematically impossible unless it's rigged. Management couldn't care less about their customers. Extremely bad business model. Dealers are very nice but if the players don't win, no tips. I feel bad for them. I understand the losing vs winning thing but when you NEVER win anything how can you expect good customer experiences? If I could give zeros I would. Just a terrible place to gamble & have fun. You can sense the poor employee attitude and I don't blame them. I'll likely never return. This is a worse scam than the Illinois government.

This casino is poorly designed and claustrophobic. You can come here at 6AM when there are hardly any people and strangely it still feels crowded. The atmosphere here is dreadful. Everyone looks grim bordering on hostility. The sound system plays the customary pop and rock music to try and add a fun vibe. A funeral dirge would be more appropriate for these sad faces. Almost every other casino that I have ever been to gets my adrenaline going when I first walk in. Optimism abounds, you feel pumped up that you might win some money. When you walk in here you feel like you're a rat in a dark maze with no hope of scoring any cheese. It's so gloomy in here you want to get the hell out of here quickly. That's because when you put money in the machines you get absolutely zero payback. At least other casinos give you enough small wins to keep you going. The Des Plaines river is nearby. Just throw your money in there, make a wish and perhaps good fortune will come your way in the future. You have zero chance on their slots believe me. If you're into video poker they have very few of those. I vowed never to lose my money here 5 years ago and I have kept my promise. Their buffet is very good though.

no vip comps, the place is packed though. they're printing money from all the foreign and out of towners coming in and losing their money. Slots are the worst in the midwest. Customer service doesn't care and gives no comps. Food is very good. But can you justify a $40 buffet after you lose $1000 in an hour and they comp you $5 for a soft drink ?

This is by far the best of the casinos within 50 mile radius from Chicago. It's modern, clean, and offers a good variety of table games. It's a very happening place on the weekends and the only casino in the area that will not make you feel depressed just by being there. It does get very crowded and wild on weekends but to me that adds to the appeal. Most people don't realize this but it's as big as it can be due to Illinois law (maximum of 1200 positions). Being strictly a Blackjack player this review will mostly cover Blackjack. Table minimums are very high and generally $25 during the week and $50 on the weekends (with some tables at $100 during prime time on Saturdays). There are some $15 tables on Sundays during the day. High limit minimums are usually set at $100. Tables are pretty standard 6 deck, 3:2, H17, DAS, NO RSA so around 0.65% house edge. There are a couple of S17 tables but the minimums are almost always set at $50. Not sure about high limit since I don't play there. No mid shoe entry on most $50 tables. They offer the usual Blackjack sucker bets (21+3 Extreme) and recently added a third, the "Blazing 7s". Lastly, I can't help but laugh at all of the reviews here from people complaining about losing money on slots or in a casino in general....you just can't make this stuff up. If you want a decent chance at winning money at a casino stay away from slot machines. Stick to Blackjack, Craps, and Baccarat. Better yet, stay away from casinos in general !
