This casino is not at all impressive at least in the casino part. It is dark and dingy, machines are sticky and chairs uncomfortable. I played a favorite game of mine, Vibrant 7 and put in 60.00 before I even got a bonus. (too stubborn to quit. :) )The bonus paid me 14.00. I then played a couple of other machines, got 1 bonus which paid me 4.62. I was playing 1.00 to 2.00 on the machines. Tight is not the word I would use for these machines. It was a Saturday and we commented that the parking lot had little cars in it. We now know why. Don't waste your time or money on this one.
This new management has killed the casino. No promotions or incentives. Did away with pit parties and give aways. Machines are extremely tight. No packages for birthday or even staying in hotel. The plus was that you could get a reasonably-priced dinner and drinks but found out they increased all alcoholic beverages by 75 cents. A 12 Oz beer is $3. Seriously? Sad the place is losing so many patrons but trying to make kewadin a VIP Vegas type establishment is their down fall
Wish you would ban smoking! In Ohio there is no smoking in any public place. The business did not suffer from " no smoking" laws. We find the air in the casino very offensive.
Stayed at the Kewadin Casino and Hotel as I was given a free night there, First let me say that I will never return, Slots were Very Very Very Tight (ya I know chance you take at a casino), Well when you go down at around 8am in the morning on a Friday and you see less then 20 people what does that tell you. They have taken everything promotional thing away the free $15.00 in gas is only on Wednesday's now (Hmm maybe they should send something out letting your customers know this, But no they post it as your walking in the door and now seniors day went from $10 to $5 but you must play so much before you get the big whooping $5, also now to get your money back for the bridge tolls you must get 30 points on your northern rewards card to get $8 back LOL, My big mistake they didn't inform us of this when we approached the desk that you must play 30 points before redeeming it, if I would have known this when I was up at the desk that night I would have cashed it in,so I go to do it when I get ready to leave the next morning and I'm told I'm sorry you have to complete 30 points in play today to redeem this hello I said I did that last night and I also stayed in the hotel last night, she said sorry you should have done it last night then, hello well why didn't the people sitting behind the desk yesterday afternoon tell me this not one word mention by them, frustrated I walked out,you need to get your people at the service counter on the ball,your $10 food voucher once again you must rack up 30 points on your northern rewards card to use it.. SO in all total you are paying them for all the coupons you use. NOT WORTH IT!! As for the hotel I took my parents with me they charged me $10.00 plus tax for my dad to stay in the room so if you have 3 adults make sure you pay that $10.00 I don't know why being it was a free night stay and they don't give you any gaming packages so why do they charge for 3 people? and one of our beds the comforter was ripped, there was a previous comment card left filled out on the desk stating also how terrible they were treated by your agents and how tight the machines were and how rude the restaurant staff were, to my surprise when I went to check into my room as I had asked for a early check in which I know that is not a gtd I was okay with that, But during the day and night as I walked by the desk the desk clerk was sitting in a chair reading a book(VERY TACKY) for a upper establishment, I even had to come to desk to get a box of kleenex as there was 3 tissues left in the box(hello why couldn't they have taken care of this.. I am very disappointed I can understand not giving comps etc away during the summer months but this is middle of winter and hotel and casino empty and so I guess being there empty you get nothing but terrible service and promotional items
My wife and I just got back from a getaway to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Our first night we decided to drive to Kewadin and have their Seafood Buffet. Big Mistake! Seafood was all luke warm, chicken was pink, and the selection was not very big. For $19.99 I expected a much better buffet. If you're going to eat there, try the deli instead!
As far as the gaming, that wasn't so great either. The table games are good, with $2 minimum on craps even on a Friday night. The slot selection was okay, but no good video poker in that place. I did not see 9/6 anywhere, as a previous review had mentioned. I saw 9/6 with multi hand, but no 9/6 on JoB, DDB, or any other "normal" variation.
The player club gave me $10 for joining and $10 for my birthday, so that was a nice bonus. Other than that, it seems like the comp. rate is slow.
There are much better options in Northern Michigan. Stay away from this place, or only go there for table games!
