This is the worst casino in Michigan for slots. I used to be able at least break even but now I lose my money in about an hour. I will take my play to Manistee.
I've been a player at Soaring Eagle since before finished they the new building. I've been a Platinum player for years. I have never won anything more than $10 on the $30 promo play they give me every week. I play the Sizzling 7's game most of the time. For years I would play at least 1 or 2 times a week and hit the progressive jackpot of $1,000+ each month with multiple $200 and $300 jackpots each visit. I would win more than I lost which makes it a lot of fun. About the time they started to build the water park the slot machines quit paying. For months I couldn't hit any of the jack pots. I'm told the payouts are random and are set at a certain percentage. I don't believe it. I went in on Tuesday and hit several $200 & $300 jackpots leaving with $350 to the good. I went back two days later and hit two $300 jackpot one right after the other! I even played the mummy game and it hit a bonus that paid $320! I thought "Hurrah! They turned the slots back on!" I went back on Saturday and couldn't hit a thing so you can't tell me it's random. I will be researching to find out who to complain to. They shouldn't be doing this to the people that fund their business and lifestyle.
I took $160 to play with on slots and was done in under an hour. The largest payout I received was $7.50. I always play just under the max on most slots. Does anyone else see a problem with this? I can take $80 to any other casino in the world and play for a couple hours easy and hit a few jackpots to keep me going. Loosen up your slots Soaring Eagle!! You have a nice casino with decent amenities.
This was my one and only trip here. I will never step foot in this place again unless they give me hundreds in free play to gamble with and even then it would still be a waste of my time because the result would be nothing. If you decide to go there and waste your money you will be more entertained to just put your money in a pile and set it on fire.
