I went there a few months ago and only played the slots. When we were about to leave, I hit a slot for $1,800. First and only time I've ever walked out of any casino with more money than I started with. When I won, an attendant came over to the machine. She left and came back with someone else like five minutes later. I filled out the paperwork and got my money. Then they said it was customary to play one more spin to reset the reels. So, I did. Well, I attempted to. I put a quarter in, pulled the lever and nothing happened. They opened the machine back up and were trying to figure out what was wrong with it. They said that the machine malfunctioned. I was starting to worry that this would void my win, so I got out of there as fast as I could. lol. It was a great place, but don't take out your cell phone to make a call. I made that mistake. They thought I was taking pictures of the slots or something. A security guard demanded to see my phone and look through all of my pictures that I have saved on it. No big deal, I guess. I just thought they overreacted.
Went there on the motorcycles last weekend with a group of five, out of us five not one could hit on a machine. I spent $150 in a four hour period and hit nothing. My favorite place is Odawa in Petoski nice!!!
Stayed in Manistee x 2 nights and I visited this casino twice. I played slots a long time both nights & didn't lose any money. Probably just a lucky 2 nights, but this rarely happens to me so I consider this casino as loose as any Las Vegas downtown casino. Slots are a variety of the newer slots like Wizard of Oz (ticket-in) plus older machines with coin payout. (System doesn't allow "n/a" so ignore the ratings for table games -I don't play them.) I didn't stay here, but from the outside & lobby this hotel looks very nice & I would definitely stay here if I was in the area. I only ate at the deli which was fine. Hotel rates are at least 1/2 the rates of the Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, MI. Would actually consider a (5-6 hour) drive from NW Chicago suburbs just to stay here.
My husband and I stayed at the Little River RV Park last July and had a great time. The RV Park is a great value with all the hotel perks.
As long as a casino will let me play on my money it is all good, but this time out I actually left up a few bucks. I didn't like having to wait for someone to come give a payout slip on a few of the machines as it took forever.
Little River was still paying out in coins on 99% of the machines, but on the few that weren't you had to wait for a floor attendant.
