Great selection of slots spread over two huge floors: lots of newer games being installed while maintaining good selection of favorites/older themes. VERY noisy gaming floors: slot volume high, bells, table games loud and loud rock music at all hours - even overnight/early morning! Ear plugs should be sold here! I have had frequent profitable nights and extended periods of play on slots: bankroll seems to last longer. Self-serve drink stations are maintained frequently, however beverage service on the game floor is scarce. As are slot attendants. Casino cage personnel need serious training in courtesy and friendliness - and a smile would certainly be welcome! Players Club rewards are mediocre, but there are frequent special promotions to bring in the crowds. As with all Detroit casinos, be prepared for lots of smoke: poor air circulation in this building. Parking garage is HUGE and often full: be prepared to walk a great distance to the casino entrance (but free valet service is available - remember to tip the courteous, friendly valets!) This property always seems to be hopping. Buffet is pricey, but IMHO worth the cost: nice selection, usually tasty and well-prepared. I wish there was food/snack bar overnight! Have not stayed at the hotel yet. Need to be a lot more generous with FreePlay and comps for Club members. Big poker room. Table games often crowded.

I come to Detroit about twice a month and it is by far about the best. I play only the slots so I can't say anything about the table games. They have a lot of penny slots which I play most of the time. I can't say I win but I come out even more than any casino in Detroit. At least they let me play

Motor City Casino has come a long way since opening in late 1999 in the refurbished Wagner Baking Company building (former home of the Wonder Bread bakery). The property has undergone a major expansion to its gaming area (opened June 2007), a complete remodel of the existing areas (completed late 2008) and the opening of their hotel (November 2007).



They have also added an entertainment venue (Sound Board) and completely reworked their food offerings, including a new buffet area (Assembly Line), a new casual dining restaurant (Flames), and moving their 4-diamond restaurant, Iridescence, to the top of the hotel tower.



I had eaten at the old Iridescence location, the food was wonderful, but the restaurant space iteself was somewhat lacking in ambiance. The new location, with its glass wall facing south, offers wonderful views of the Detroit skyline, the Detroit River, Ambassador Bridge, and Windsor, Canada; and the food is still great!



The hotel is top notch, with many hi-tech features in each room (wireless handset phones that work throuhout the property, radios with iPod docks, and an electronic maid service/do not disturb light, to name a few).



The gaming area spreads over two floors, and has a "funky" automotive theme. All the usual table games and slots are offered, and there is a very nice poker room on the first floor. Being primarily a video poker player myself, there is not an abundance of machines with good pay tables, but there are a few if you take the time to look around.



In all, Motor City has done a very good job of improving their offerings to keep competitive with the other casino properties in the Detroit area.
