We used to go quite often to Gub Lake Casino but the payouts on slot machines are very poor. Last month I had 280 free spins on a 45 cent penny machine and half way thru I got another 8 spins for a grand total of 288 free spins, the outcome, $36.40. And, this is not the first time this event has happened to me here, we are going to eat the gas bill and head to Four Wins or Little River. I don't play cards so I can't comment on that, the rest of the casino seems okay except for the slot payouts, and I might add, I only live 8 miles from the place.
Because Gun Lake is only 35 min from my house I was naturally drawn there. However it has turned out that the 8-10 trips to this casino has totally caused me to want to give up gaming entirely! I had the fortunate(or perhaps unfortunate) opportunity to win a $450 and $250 jackpot there plus a few smaller amounts but I have succeeded in losing all of that and much more in my pursuit of that life changing jackpot at this casino! I have never been to a casino that has so little to offer. I concur with the other reviewers the smoke is atrocious and the amenities are lacking. Food is pretty sad and limited. Because I have seen a few people win here I think it could happen to me! Ha not over the long run. I am constantly walking the floor looking for a machine that might pay. I go back to the machines I have played before and they appear to be different machines...tighter and no fun what so ever. I just had a really bad session this week here and I must vow to never return before I lose any more money that I can't afford to lose. I just returned from Las Vegas too and had a couple of nice wins there...I don't ask for much would be happy to break even and just play on my winnings. Well I have to face the facts...it will never happen at Gun Lake casino. Why is it so busy? I don't get it! And during their giveaways it is impossible to find a decent machine!
I look forward to not beating myself up on the return drive home from this casino ever again!!
I will never go back. It took too long to get blackjack tables then the dealer ripped me off. I placed a $40 bet and pointed to hit me. The dealer skipped i said hit me, he said no you didn't. Oh yes i did and of course he pulled a 5 which on my 2nd hit that would had been a 21 the 5 gave him 17. Then, the visit before that, i was up $350 i cashed in my chips and ended up getting $17. i was a bit tipsy and it was obvious i was told the remaining was on my players card of coarse it was not this place will steal from you I have never returned and will never go back again....
This is not a good casino at all. I was playing a slot machine and I count the number of spin before I got to the bonus round: 109 spins. Now, in the 12 free bonus spins I won 40 cents. People this casino just keeps taking your money.
Gun Lake Casino offers as much of a variety as possible with their slot machines. Table games are very limited and there are no $5 blackjack tables. Players must wager higher denominations, even if just learning how to play. Customer service was very good, the best experience we had there was how nice the team members were and offered to cash tickets where we were sitting, instead of looking for a cashier or kiosk. The players club seemed to be the biggest joke. The people seemed very fake and unhappy. You must earn 5,000 pts (play $5,000) give/take to get only $5 in rewards or free play? There is no privacy for high rollers, I noticed "stalkers" watching the high limit players. There is NO hotel. The nearest location is at least 10-15 minutes away. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. The prices were good for the amount of food and quality of food we received. I was very disappointed with our visit, and we will not be traveling another two hour drive to visit here again. Also, the slot machines are very tight. We ended up leaving short over $470 after starting with $500.
