i have been gaming often at northstar mohican casino since my arrival in wisconsin from new jersey in 2008. within the past few months(mid-to late 2010 starting) i must say that northstar has taken a serious dive towards being on the worst list of gaming establishments. true the people are nice there (they are starting to become rude and obnoxious though, with the exception of the casino staff i know that remained and have not quit due to mistreatment or the sort). the promos are junk. its extremely aggravating to see a neighbor receive 15 a week in freeplays PLUS a free hotel stay for NOT gaming when i myself have spent OVER 450 DOLLARS IN NOVEMBER. foolishly yes but it's my mistake. bringing up another trick northstar has pulled. PUTTING WAGER MONEY (giftcards you buy with cash) ON YOUR PLAYERS CARD AS A PROMO. why would a casino payout when the system thinks it's free money from the casino? this implement is the stupidest thing they could have done. and no one listens to a word you say. and i have not moved up from a sapphire since i got my card initially. i used to play hard and hit decently at northstar but recently i have threatened to take my business elsewhere and have done so. i only bring like 20 dollars with me when i do go. and the list of "loosened" machines is a revenue grabber when i did win something it was indeed the machine next to it that i won on. this establishment does hit but not that often at least not for local frequents. it's ALWAYS some out of towner that hits. highly unfair.
