This is the fourth visit this year and stayed in hotel all times. Hotel is excellent and service is great. The problem is that I have noticed the slots are getting tighter and tighter on each visit. That wasn't the case last year, in fact they seemed to have an above average return. Just got back after visiting three Oregon casinos this week and in comparison have made a decision not to visit Lucky Eagle again for the near future. They need to practice a little less greed and a more competitive attitude with other casinos in the area. Don't waste your gaming funds at Lucky Eagle.
Back again. Video poker machines good to mike. Hotel staff are very good. Hotel coffee very good with supply cream. Stay even on regular slots. Food still great. Centralia and the Aberdeen shopping good. Stayed two nites and had great time.
Stayed one nite in the hotel good. Gaming in the casino area not too bad for smoke. Can also go to the Non smoking slot room. I won on the slots. The table games blackjack and dice and other games have good rules 3 dollar blackjack. Good breakfast in sitdown rest. The buffet was better that good. All the people were very friendly. Will be back soon. the video poker machine was very good to me.
Let's face it--slot playing in Washington State is a zero sum game. You're gonna lose, especially if you play slots at the wrong time. Keep an eye on the ATM vs the Ticket Redemption machine line for starters. The Lucky Eagle sets its machines at 96%, which is about as good as you will find in this state. I still lose almost 2 for 1 at the Lucky Eagle, which is far better than I could say about any other casino in the area. At least they have a grasp on making the experience of parting with cash as bearable as possible. If you play long enough to get a Preferred status in their Players Club, they send nice comp offers to you that others don't. They offer you a free night in their new hotel, which has a nice, clean pool; non smoking rooms, HDTV, a new free breakfast room, and friendly service. The Class two slot rooms in the hotel are fun to play small amounts just to get the bonuses figured out on the machines. In addition, the Players Club also gives out free slot play coupons, and a coupon good for a free meal in one of the restaurants. The food isn't spectacular, but it won't kill you either. In addition, waitresses bring around trays of soft drinks throughout the gaming area, which is much more pleasant than the shrill chirping of "cocktails" found in other casinos in the Seattle area. The staff is very friendly, and tries to take an interest in every patron, which can be difficult to respond to if you have been violently sheared by a slot machine that didn't get the memo about the 96% payback. If you decide to play in Washington, this is the best gaming experience you can have around here. And whatever you do, don't ruin it by playing rush hour to last call. Save your pennies for the morning hours, and spend the evening drinking free pop by the hot tub.
This is a great casino to spend a few hours in and enjoy food and drink! There is a good variety of slots, except my personal favorites Kronos and Queen of the Wild. Staff is very accommodating and friendly, casino is clean, and there is a nice gaming atmosphere. The hot dog cart was a nice plus and the dogs were scrumptious.
