I have to agree with getreal. The daytime dealers are idiots. I thought one of the women there was going to take off her shoes to count. Then tried hitting on me.
I don't suggest going there to play table games during the day unless you are looking for a "good time" girl. The girls in the club area where you get your cards are rude, and just want to get you out of their area. I asked questions and they weren't very willing to listen to me or answer me. Not a very pleasant atmosphere.
Honestly it is not worth starting your car to go there. Employees are rude. You get a look of I hate you from them when you enter. Slots must be worked over they do not hit or keep you playing at all especially video poker that's a no armed bandit in all the Diamond Jo's. Just a crummy experience every time I ever went there. And I quit going there altogether.
The trip began with 4 people and headed down there with 19 adults, ranging from 35 to 60. This overnight party was planned for 2 months. We all had rooms, arrived there from the Twin Cities around 4:30. All check in to our rooms. Within the first 2 hours, 3 of our 19 were told the were banned for the evening! The first guest was told that she "laughed to loud and they do not tolerate any behavior that is loud". OMG, it was 4:30 in the afternoon! The second guy was sitting at one of the 3 bars (irony) and cheered for the twins with his "loud voice" and he was tapped on the shoulder and asked to leave. Out of 19, 8 were "tapped out"! I understand now why they say "The best thing that comes out of Iowa is I 35!! Spread the word, we talked to guests down there not in our party and they have heard similar stories. If this is what a state run casino is all about, I have a new found respect for the Indian casinos of Minnesota!
The daytime dealers are airheads. The slots suck, I didn't win anything. Wouldn't even let you play. Spent alot of money in a short amount of time. The buffet was ok, a little expensive. I will not go back to gamble, you might as throw your money out the window.
They denied access to our entire post-wedding party because one girl in our group stumbled. Then a roided up security guard threatened my 60 year old uncle with physical violence for questioning their decision. What kind of a casino does that?
