It's sad what has happened to this casino in the last 5 years. No valet parking, nor even a coat check. No buffet or shuttle busses. If it's raining, just get wet. No more free soda and coffee machines. Snack bar with 5 dollar slices of pizza and 4 dollar fountain drinks. Brew Pub food like Cracker Barrel at three times the price.
Permanent removal of poker room. 15 dollar minimum on all table games at all times, even craps.
Remember Don Meredith on Monday Night Football? Turn off the lights, the party's................Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 17, 2024
Easy-peazy !!! We parked with our 43 ft Class A Coach. Plenty of turn around space & quite level. We stayed two nights, felt quite safe with security driving around on a regular basis. There is also a camera on the light above our Coach. We took time to tour around Erie and hit some local Breweries.
Back at the Casino, we went upstairs to Churchill's Bourbon & Brew. Nicely decorated and what a great, friendly staff, they made us feel welcomed. Dan was our Bartender.... very friendly, and took time to talk AND handle the busy bar top. Very attentive. We did not eat this time but will tomorrow. We had some fun on the slots, lost a little bit of money but expected that. . We had fun.
Highly recommended!!!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 235311843Nov 5, 2023
Visited this casino on a Saturday. Arrived a little later, 10pm. Every restaurant was closed. There was not a single food option in the whole place. Very surprised there was really no crowd. No live music. Bartender was friendly but service was slow despite the bar only have about 3 other customers every time we approached. One drink per person was a hassle if I tried to get my wife and I drinks while she played slots. Most disappointing was you could not bet horse racing and watch on tV from tracks around the country.
Sportsbbook has a decent set up with great TVs. Overall place was clean. Great variety of slots. Enjoyed the stadium seating blackjack and roulette area.
Not sure we would visit again. Disappointed overall.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Brumbpo T.San Antonio, TX1242Apr 13, 2024
I'm lost so many of my hard in pennies in this place. I keep putting my shiny coins in to the big ol things because I love to pull the level and see the lights! I WANT TO WIN TICKETS LIKE CHUCKY CHEESE BUT IT DONT HAPPEN. I WANT TO WIN AN INFLATABLE GUITAR AND EAT RAT PIZZA
it smells like 3 toilets and all the vending machine candy taste like pavement.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jeff C.Rosamond, CA010Sep 9, 2024
Worst casino in the country to play slots at!!!! We played probably 10 machines, dragon link, lightning link and a few others. We bet no less than $.05 denomination, got 3 or 4 bonuses, none of which paid out more than $75!!! We won exactly ZERO free games!!! I'm assuming the rtp is set to around the MINIMUM allowed by law. We have gambled all across the country, we're full time rv people and this is what we do, casino hop of an evening after work. DO NOT PLAY SLOT MACHINES AT THIS CASINO!!!!

I have been coming here since the place opened. It has gone down hill a lot. The machines have become horribly tight, employees (not all) are rude and the machines are filthy. Cigarette ashes everywhere.
The food is also not very good. It's too bad because it used to be a fun place.

Cheap payouts. A 10 free spin using the highest bet consistently paid less than $4. I've been to casinos all over the country and found that the ones too cheap to provide free drinks also had tight slot machines that paid little. This place is no exception. I didn't hear anyone whooping it up so I don't think I'm the only one not winning.

This place is a total rip-off. No one wins anything there anymore. The place is smokey everywhere. You pay for drinks. The vibe there is totally off. It's flat, no excitement, no good music playing. Just a place to lose your hard earned money. Will never go there again.

Keeps coming up as a bingo hall but is not one. I wanted a bingo hall not a casino. Nothing against the actual casino but I like actual games.

A casino, we all know how much I love casinos. So then why did I venture here? It was raining, close to the hotel, and nothing else to do. If I am being honest, it is also a good waste of time.
I will reiterate why I don't like casinos. They are nothing but an arcade where you don't come out with prizes, unless you are extremely lucky. I knew we were going to be here for a minute and didn't want to be just sitting around. I looked for the nearest ATM to withdraw some money. Friends, do yourself a favor, stop before coming here to hit up an ATM. The surcharge you get for using it is way out of hand.
We walked around a bit and looked at all there was to offer and of course my cheap self landed on a penny slot. If I'm wasting $20 it's going to be on something that will possibly take some time to lose it all. I sat down, but my money in and started pushing buttons. I pulled the lever a few times and felt like that was over dramatic and just continued with the buttons. Faster, almost a more efficient way to lose my money.
I played for a bit and made some small wins but really didn't care. When my total kept getting lower I just wanted it to be over and kept hitting max bet in hopes that I would be out of "credits" soon. And what do you know happens, I win, enough for me to break even for both the $20 and surcharge at the ATM. I took this as a sign to put the brakes on and cash out.
Cashing out is fairly simple when you are able to do so quickly. But getting stuck behind someone that can't operate the machine that is both an ATM and cash out machine takes a bit longer. I ended up walking about the casino in search of another one to do this process.
There is a smoking section in here and you will be able to tell that when you are walking in. You literally walk into this area upon entry. A few places to get drinks inside. Table games. Track for the horse races. But once I was done, I was done. I have met my casino quota for the year.Helpful 10Thanks 1Love this 9Oh no 0Business owner information
