This was a poor casino. You could cut the smoke that hung in the air with a knife. There was also a lack of any table games and food options. The excuse for blackjack that they offered was on an obviously rigged computer and was always occupied. The roulette simulation was also always packed. The only thing that I could even come close to complimenting this place on is the amount of slot machines, but you would still be better off going elsewhere to avoid the immense amounts of smoke.
I have gone many times on Seniors day.. and only to find that they 'lay in wake' for the oldies to get there to take their money! It has gotten sooo bad my husband and I don't even make the trip anymore... it's not any fun at all to just keep putting in your 20's! Will be a long time before we go back there.
When ever we head north, we always stop. We never stay more than a couple hours, but it's a great place to take a break from driving. Yes the parking seems terrible, but you're not walking any farther than any other casino. If you figure how far you walk when parked in a large parking garage. I've never won alot, but my theory is, it's entertainment and I don't spend more than $40 at a time. If you roll up and see the big buses, don't go in. The place will be filled with Seniors, that are quite rude, playing two or three machines at a time. I'm not sure why they don't expand, it needs to be at least twice as big as it is. I like it well enough to always stop, unlike Soaring Eagle, which is the worst casino in Michigan.
I stopped here on my back from Northern Michigan. It's a small but nice little place in Standish Michigan. They gave me $10 for my birthday and $10 for joining their players club. I used my freeplay in video poker, hit 4 of a kind, and walked away with $40 and checked out the rest of the casino.
No table games here, or hotel, but a nice selection of slots in a well laid out place. Worth a stop on your way to/from northern Michigan.
