This casino is very clean, but the chances of winning are slim. You would have to invest a large amount to make any profit. The service is really poor, they don't seem happy nor interested in the customers.
This is a nice modern stand alone facility. It has everything you would expect in a newer property, with ample restaurants and close parking. Tables seemed to be hovering around the $10 area on our visit. Lots of slots, and only short pay VP that we saw. There are several hotels to be found in a short drive of Firekeepers.
I live in Ohio but make the 2 hour drive to SW Michigan a few times a year. This is a very new casino that has a huge variety of penny and nickel slots. Some of the slots you find here are ones that are not found in Detroit. This is an Indian Casino but you would never know by the look and feel of the place. The comp and cashback program is extremely weak but they make up for it with a generous monthly freeplay/food offer. A hotel is in the process of being constructed at the casino. I did not like the options for hotels in the area. The hotels are very expensive. Food options at the casino are typical and reasonably priced. I did hit a jackpot for $22,300 last year so I know it is possible to win here. :)
Food was great at the buffet, but a little overpriced. Good service! Friendly, helpful service on the floor. Nice clean bathrooms. Slots were tight. Saw very few winners! Music gets louder and the air fills with smoke as the night went on. Beautiful building and nice parking area. Close to the highway.
This casino is only 50 minutes from home & could easily be my favorite if they would listen to paying customers. The problem is the unwillingness to correct payscales on video keno. 90% of their keno has worse payouts than the Michigan state run "Club Keno" which sucks. Example a 3 spot should pay 43-46 coins, club keno pays 27, Walletkeepers pays 11! Have complained endlessly to slot manager, his answer is if you don't like it go somewhere else. Some marketing strategy huh? I'm mainly a table player but the wife plays keno. So in order to satisfy both of us, we travel elsewhere. I agree with others, now that Gun Lake Casino is open, these people will lose business. Too bad, otherwise not a bad place to play although winning is tough to do here.
