No fun anymore. Machines are interesting but you don't even win to keep you playing. It use to be so much fun years ago, but since going paper your money is gone within half hour to 1 hour depending how much you bring with you.. You wait for a bonus and get garbage after waiting for so long to get one. Unless you bet high you don't benefit. And if you bet high your not there long. The old days at least you could be there for a few hours and have lots of fun even if you went home empty handed. Now you waste time depending on where you drive from on gas to get there and time to get there only ti to be done within an hour or less. So to go out and have fun there anymore its not. I dont Put any money in anymore, I sit and watch who I bring spend theirs and go home in disbelief watching people plunk hundreds of $$ in and leave dissatisfied. So well done casino owners . You've become so greedy you've taken the fun out of a night that use...

Great night out with friends enjoying dinner and small bets on the 10 horse races. Reservations are strongly recommend, the buffet restaurant was sold out but we booked last week. On ocasion reservations are canceled at the last minute leaving a very few late goers with an operrunity to join the entertainment. When booking clearly state any requirements to avoide stairs, there are tables at the buffet and elevator level. The staff are very friendly and helpfull especially with the betting process. There are electronic betting stations with desks and chairs.

The casino is on the main floor with a small gift store. The ATM is on main floor. Lots of free parking.

There was a minor disappointed when ALL the white wine ran out in the 4th race of 10 with the exception of a resling which is NOT our prefered beverage.

All said we enjoy the night out and...

It's definitely a new experience. First I applaud management and staff they have done a great job to keep everyone safe. It seems like line payouts are lower than before the pandemic. Perhaps they can't incurr the costs of shutdown and all they have implemented to meet Covid restrictions without some changes. It's still fun on the machines. Jackpot payout limits have increased I assume because they are trying to eliminate contact with people. Nothing to do with the casino but the atmosphere has really changed. I really enjoyed talking to people laughing and joking around. Hope we can get back to that some day. Also miss the restaurant and the new bar old menu. Covid has definitely had an impact on everything we do. Normality will come back if we get vaccined and support businesses even if the experience is different. Overall I still had...

We rented the Lighthouse Room to the right of the main building for an educational technology presentation. The room is big and the support staff excellent. They went out of their way to accommodate our complicated technology needs. We were able to set up over half a dozen virtual reality sets with digital projectors and the computers to run them. The catering was excellent with hot coffee and a continental breakfast, a hot lunch with multiple options and afternoon snacks. If you're looking for a technology capable local venue to present in, I'd highly recommend the Lighthouse Room.

09/2023 - We sat in the buffet dining area even though buffet wasn't being served. Air conditioned and heated with a great view of the track and personalized monitors for even better views makes it a great place to watch from, no matter the weather. When you can bet as little as $1.20 on a race ($0.20 trifecta box- which means pick the top three horses in the race and they can finish in any order, just have to be top three!) and often 10 or so races a night. A couple can have a fun evening for just $25 **but also maybe even win some cash to take home :).

Growing up around the racetrack with my grandpa, it's always nice to get out to the track for some harness racing. It's a family friendly atmosphere, food and drink available, and lots of entertainment regardless of whether you have been a lifelong fan or it's your first time out. My only complaint is that the casino area always seems to be growing into the horse racing area, but if that's the price of keeping the races alive I guess that's alright.
