This is close to being the 2nd biggest casino in Washington State (Tulalip might be about the same size). This casino is also only as big as it is because it is located darn near the middle of Tacoma right off the highway. Unfortunately, there is not much of a reason to play here.



The blackjack game has lousy rules (8-decks, dealer hits soft 17, no double after split, no surrender, no resplit aces).



DO NOT PLAY VIDEO POKER in WA. Or at least realize you are not really playing video poker, but rather a slot machine that is disguised to look like video poker.



The payoffs on the machines are truly random and not dependent on your skill in holding the correct cards. See the WA State Gaming website for more info.



The restaurant was unimpressive when I ate there. I had copper river salmon in season which is supposed to be a delicacy, but I was not impressed with the preparation or quality.



This casino doesn't even have a poker room. They are more interested in getting as much money off of the locals as fast as they can with crappy odds and rules. Go play at some of the other smaller local joints of you want to actually gamble (otherwise it is just a donation.)
