Yes, it is older but compared to some other casinos within 30 minutes Belterra easily wins for it's beautiful hotel rooms and shopping areas along with their great restaurants. The casinos itself is nice. Not the best one in Indiana but by no means the worst. My advice if you play the slot machines on the first floor you walk into you won't come out ahead. Most of the new flashy slots are up on this floor. I have never done well on the first floor. Take the escalators downstairs and you will find a slew of older slots that let you play for a longer period of time. Overall it is a good casino with some character. ]]> Mon, 25 May 2020 21:25:38 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2509765 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2509765 09/30/19 - stopped at Belterra on the way to the Horseshoe in So Indiana. What a BEAUTIFUL place out in the middle of nowhere! Casino was on 2 floors & well appointed, but small. Nice atmosphere! No free drinks though. ]]> Sun, 06 Oct 2019 04:44:16 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2506028 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2506028 This place is dated and dirty. ]]> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 01:48:40 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505606 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505606 I have been to Belterra several times in the past and have enjoyed the experience. However this trip I asked for a room near the elevator as I am handicapped and was assigned room with a 57 on it and the last rooms on the opposite side from the elevators is 69. Do the math. In other words I was about as far from the elevators as I could get. There was no handicap bar in the stool area and no shower, stepping into a tub is extremely difficult. On Tuesday we went to breakfast buffet and almost before we could get our food they took the spoons out of all the dishes so we could not finish half of what we wanted to eat. For the price, I believe you need to at least let people eat before removing the spoons. Why not shut off the breakfast buffet at 10:30, give people time to finish, and open at 11:30 for lunch. Would be better for servers and customers. Use your heads for once. Prices for buffet have increased, payouts on machines was literally non-existent and check in on Monday, May 28 was a nightmare. Why would you only have one to two check in people working the desk when you had reservations for all the people? Another time to use your head. Very sad experience. ]]> Wed, 30 May 2012 22:29:43 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505588 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505588 Nice marble floors, a semi-decent buffet and comfortable hotel rooms no longer qualify Belterra as a decent gaming destination. After their latest change in management, the slots are the tightest machines I've ever experienced - bonuses are few and far between and when they are finally hit, they pay out very little. Comps no longer exist at Belterra - every little "reward" is based strictly on your play now and the money you have to spend to get a small return is no longer worth it. No excitement whatsoever on the part of patrons - everyone feels ripped off and disgusted with their experience. Even among employees, there is very little enthusiasm, as the American staff is replaced by foreign workers housed at the Ogle House and hours and benefits are steadily cut. The place is downright depressing anymore - and falling apart. It reminds of a skanky old Missouri river boat casino. I have told them they have seen their last penny from me - when my measly coupons stop coming, so will I! ]]> Sat, 26 May 2012 06:12:12 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505168 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2505168 Loved it again! Visit once or twice a year - the steakhouse is fabulous and the rooms are large - particularly the bathrooms!

I read above where a guy said over the past 6-8 months they have really stopped paying out....TRUE!!!!! We recently went there and blew through $3,000 in 9 hours and tried all kinds of machines and the biggest pay out we got was $381 after blowing through $1000....no payout over $100 after that! and it seems the more you use the my choice card.....the more screwed you are!!! For my $3,000 I got $30 something back in comps....JOKE AND INSULT!! ANYONE THINKING OF GOING HERE....GOOD LUCK BUT YOU WOULD BE MUCH BETTER OFF BUYING HUNDREDS OF POWERBALL AND MEGA MILLION QUICK PICKS AND I'M SURE YOU WOULD GET BETTER PAYBACK PERCENTAGES.. BELTERRA MIGHT AS WELL STOP YOU AT THAT LAME SECURITY GATE BEFORE ENTERING THE CASINO AND HAVE YOU EMPTY YOUR POCKETS AND WALLETS ETC.... ]]> Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:57:32 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2503881 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2503881 Belterra is the place to be during these economic times. This is entertainment and you have a fair chance to win and that is all one can ask for. Some people lose perspective and when you least expect it you win. I have hit twice on two different days at two totally different slots. The staff was actually happy for me and the visits to Belterra simply allows one to forget about life's ordinary problems. This is no ordinary place. It simply is the best in indiana. ]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 08:21:44 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2503592 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/indiana/belterra-casino-resort-and-spa.html/discussions/2503592 I also use to be a regular at Belterra but they changed the payouts on their machines and you can't win anything anymore. I disagree that it is like any other casino. I also visit Hollywood and Grand Victoria and at least I can win enough to keep playing. I cannot hit a thing down Belterra anymore and will no longer waste my money. ]]> Mon, 18 Oct 2010 17:23:06 +0000
