Took a trip to LRC and that was a bad idea. Arrive their at 4:30pm. Very few people there. A drawing a 5pm was about to start. I didn't bother entering, I never get called anyway. So, I tried my 5 quarter slot but lost both times. Tried a few more and not a hit. Played video poker. I remembered watching the video at the top on of this page on video poker, so I tried that. It seem to work what he said but i got bored playing. I won more ofter doing what the guy said. I should have kept playing. Instead, I played the 2 coin 50 cent slot and lost. That's when I decided t leave. 2 hours of losing is enough. Slots were not paying out. Few people there when I left. Did not play tables. Did not use players club or stay in the motel. Don't play on Wednesdays !
Went to LRC around 4:30pm, thought I'd try my luck. I didn't have any luck at all ! I saw only one guy win a large amount the rest were all losers. Including me, I played the 5 quarter slots most of the time and non were hitting. Although, Stayed for 2 hours.
i watched the video of how to play the video poker and it does work, only i didn't stay on it very long. I didn't stay in the motel or use the players club. Wasn't offered any drinks. Food is always good. They had some drawing going on but they never pick me. 5/12/2011
We absolutely love Little River. We make the trip from metro Detroit 2 - 3 times per year. I am a slot player, I don't play the table games so ignore the rating. I won my very first jackpot at LRCR $2500.00 and was hooked. We went twice in 2010 hit for $900 on my birthday and $2500.00 in August. The hotel is great. The rooms are always clean and the staff is professional and very friendly. The restaurants are good, not happy that they went strictly buffet at the Willows restaurant. I prefer to order exactly what I want. The wait staff is always very professional, attentive, and wants to make sure everything is perfect. LRCR has really good comps as well. I haven't had to pay for a room or meal in years. Between our comps we always have enough to cover a 2 - 3 night stay. Cash back is one of the best in the state. I can count on receiving anywhere from $80 - $100 in cash to add to my bankroll. My husbands only complaint is they took away the poker room. He's not much of a machine player.
Stayed 2 nights. Very Beautiful casino. well layed out. Great staff. Room was as nice as most inexpensive rooms in Las Vegas. Great mix of new slots. Food was not exceptional but good. Nice breakfast buffet at reasonable price.
Visited Little River last fall and was pleased to find a bank of 9-6 JOB Video Poker games as well as $5 minimum Blackjack tables.
For those who don't know, video poker odds are posted on the machines. A 9-6 machine will return 9 credits for a full house and 6 credits for a flush and is considered a "full-pay" machine. The long haul return is 99.55% (if you play long enough to get a Royal Flush anyway).
Wife and I recently (July 2010) made reservations for two nights, expecting to pound the VP machines and hit the BJ tables if we got bored . We arrived and checked in, explored the facilities, then hit the casino - BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! The 9-6 machines were gone - replaced, for the most part, with 7-5 odds (only a 96.15% return).
The casino has obviously tightened up. And if the VP odds are tighter one would expect the slots are also. We were bummed out - especially after committing for two nights.
Don't get me wrong, even on a fair return machine, one still needs to be lucky to win. Making a long story short, We thought our luck might overcome the poor pay tables (HA-HA), but the luck was poor and the poor payouts shortened our fun money too quickly. I resorted to blackjack - evening play only, the wife boycotted completely and resorted to visiting relatives in the area. At the BJ tables, I ended up $100 the first night, lost $300 the next.
Other than gaming, the property was first rate. Reasonable prices for food and the grounds are well-kept. Our room had a small balcony - really small, little more than a fenced in ledge, but still nice. The help was friendly and professional.
I have a nice air conditioned house with a pool and big HD TV. Our local restaurants are fine. The only reason I go to a casino is to to gamble. If the odds locally are poor, I will save my money and go to Vegas instead. And, for now, that's the plan.
