Although you can now look forward to newer slot games installed, newer carpeting, and re-arranging of the main gaming floors to reduce congestion in navigating this property, you can still dread the horrible air circulation. Since Michigan has banned smoking in bars & restaurants, the casino remains one of the few places indoor smoking is allowed - and this property is always smoke-filled. Attendants at the Players' Club are generally pleasant, but don't expect the same from the elusive beverage servers and slot attendants. Expect long waits for slot maintenance and hand-pays, (if you're fortunate enough to get a rare handpay!) Attn Blackjack players - video games/dealers are the rage here. The hotel is newer, with most rooms are efficiency-sized: very small bathroom only with commode & shower stall, offset by a pocket door. Minimal counter area around the hand sink and little maneuvering space. Comfy beds! My hotel room has always been impeccably clean and neat, and hotel staff is quite friendly, pleasant and professional. Casino buffet is a big disappointment: recent changes include eliminating waitstaff, severely reducing food/menu selection and quality, reduced seating, installing self-serve drink station, and adding Mongolian BBQ (but removed a second station offering this custom service.) One big plus: casino comps are accepted at many food/shopping locations in GreekTown proper, on streets surrounding the casino. Look for the "Comps Welcome" signs, but remember to obtain a voucher from the Players' Club first! Also lots of fun promotions and frequent gift give-aways for PC members.

Slots are so tight it's unbelievable. I play no different than I have in the past but the slots are on lock down. This study has been since the beginning of April 2010. Same machines, same denominations without the payoff. VIP and can barely get a drink as you are playing. I wait sometimes two hours for a drink. I spend at least two to three days a week there, but at the rate things have been going GTC is chasing me away.

I enjoy playing VP at Greektown. I play NSU, JB and pick'em. I'm not real happy with the smoke, but try to work around it. I go there on bus trips. I have had a lot of success there. This year I have had 3 RF's, most recent one Friday, at least 4 sets of dueces, and 2 straight flushes on pick'em.



I'm not real pleased with the downloading as the machines I play don't have the availability or don't work. Again, I work around it. I liked when you could download and cash out. When I went there Friday, it was nice that you could go to a counter apart from the slot booth to get comps or cash upstairs if there was a line at the booth.



I have their calendar which gives 2x points once a month. I'm only there for 5 hours on the bus and usually play mostly quarter VP and get $15 per week bonus play plus pretty decent comps. This is pretty decent for this Ohio girl who wants good paying VP with incentives.

The expanded GreekTown Casino in Detroit has several major problems that seriously need to be addressed: the slot floor and tables area are too crowded and claustrophobic. GreekTown would be much more pleasant if they re-arranged the gaming floor to best utilize their space: break up the rows of slots and add more room around your tables!



I have not played tables here as they always have been crowded, but tables are too close and block high traffic areas on the gaming floor. Low ceilings on the second floor make for poor air circulation and noxious second-hand smoke. On a plus side is the secluded room/area for Video poker and roomy High-Limits area.



Another plus is the vast and varied selection of games: new releases, old favorites, and variety of denominations makes it more likely for everyone to find something they like to play.



Converting your Players' points and Free Play offers at each slot machine is a big convenience, as is the ability to use your food comps at numerous eateries in the casino property and at neighboring locations immediately surrounding the casino.



Need to have more or larger Player's Club service counters! Manuvering the new parking garage often is cumbersome and the structure doesn't seem big enough to handle the large crowds going to this newly expanded facility. The walk from the garage to the casino property is still long, but at least it's protected from the elements. Haven't stayed in the new hotel nor eaten at the new buffet yet, but have heard good comments about both.

While I have spent years going to Greektown my visits have dwindled in the last couple of years. I love the large number of penny and two cent machines that this casino offers and the atmosphere is clean and nice.



However, every since they started adding on the hotel 2 years ago, the slots have become so tight that the average Joe (and or Jane) cant afford to visit often. I used to be able to take $100 to Greektown and play for 6-7 hours. Now, your lucky if that lasts you an hour or two.
