We had a great time. It was our first time here and we each recieved $10 of slot play with getting a player's card. My husband also got a free $15 bonus for hitting a promotion for tier points, which was pretty freaking awesome. He managed to win a personal record for most free games he ever once on a single best (he is a seasoned gambler and has been to casino's across the states, WELL DONE HARDROCK! lol), a mindblowing 240 in a single .30 cent bet 🤯. We both did fairly well and after several hours we managed to leave up $55 after taking a total off $44 in between the 2 of us, walking out with $99 early Thursday morning. I really want to check it out when there is live music on a Friday or Saturday and being able to smoke was a plus as we are both smokers. A fun casino, and we did decent when it came to win/loss so we were happy this first visit at least. A few negatives: - we didn't seem to find to many machines that were under .30 cents. Seemed like .88 was the majority minimum bet on slots. - they do not have self serve beverage stations like other indiana casinos, instead while having our players cards made the woman doing so informed us we order drinks from serve staff on the casino floor. I was extremely thirsty when arriving ane I got rather irritated with how hard and long I had to search for a server to finally get a drknk. When I did get a drink it was a very cold refresging coke served in a very small glass when sized up with the thirst I was experiencing during our visit. So as you can probably assume the drink was finished reletively quickly, and I was ready to order another and left a few hours later never having that opportunity. I was pretty disappointed by this considering we wandered and did several laps playing a variety of slots all thoughout the casino playing floor without seeing any waitstaff again. Complimentary beverages are a great perk to spending hard earned dollars to gamble personally, but when you aren't given an opportunity to take advantage of them you have to wonder if they are actively hiring for that position. With 10+ years experience in bartending/serving personally, I would have not only tried to stay as actively present and in some kind of rltation around the floor trying to serve as many guests as I could in order to not only keep my customers/players happy but get myself as many opportunitys to recieve tips as I could. That being said if short staffing is an issue, I would love to bring my experience and enthusiasm and work for you 🫡 We had a great night none the less. The negatives were outweighed with positives and we will DEFINITELY BE FREQUENTING FROM HERE ON OUT. Well done hard rock, you are gonna hook us with the 🎼🎶🎵

BEWARE !!!! CORRUPT CASINO RETURN TO PLAYER IS 3-5% This place is corrupt and a total scam. I have visited this place several times went and played the slot machines in the high limit room. They have total control over the pay outs on these games they adjust them behind closed doors on how they want them to pay and when they want them to pay. I played many games in the high limit room with lots of money put into the machines. The machines was taking all the money with very tiny wins if some symbols actually landed on the pay line. No matter how high you bet the return to player was pennies. I also played every Dragon link game in the high limit room with multiple different bet dominations to win nothing at all. I also watched many others play the same dragon link games with no hand pays at all and we was betting with high denomination bets. I can truthfully say all this after spending over 5 hours in the high limit room playing these games on many different days . I also observed 2 individuals that knew alot of casino employees that kept coming up to them from all through the casino. These 2 individuals knew exactly what 2 games to walk right up to and get one hand pay after another. They never tried to play any other game in the high limit room because some on the inside told them what game to play and to stay on that game and only that game. Myself and others saw the same exact thing I did as we played those same games for a long time with no winnings at all. I have seen only one time in the high limit room when they had the machines turned on to actually pay multiple players hand pays. All the other times I have been to this casino unless your someone special and gave someone on the inside behind closed doors helping you on what game to play then they no matter how many thousands of dollars you put into these games they will take all your money. Do not fall for the fake articles about there being watched by the indiana gaming commission because thats a lie. If you google about the indiana gaming corruption you will see they are being bribed with money to allow them to cheat and take all your money no matter how much you put into the machines. I myself will report them to the Indiana gaming commission if there not corrupt like they have been busted in the past for about the corruption they will send some serious honest gaming commission people there to investigate pull the slots in the high limit room return to player compared to the money they are keeping and view the history on the security cameras of these games view also the 2 individuals that know way to many casino employees and they they know exactly what machine to go and play and win hand pay after and hand pay. We will see how honest the Indiana gaming commission is after I report them and they go and pull there license. One of the original owners of this corrupt casino was caught sent to prison and forced to sell his share in this casino after his gaming license was pulled google that also. and This is your fair warning unless you know someone internally that works at this casino do not ever go there. Also do not fall for there monthly huge jack pot pay outs I have been here way to many times to watch there almost non existent hand pays. I have no reason to lie about any of this I just dont want everyone falling for there scams and bs. I am also reporting them to the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Gambling Control.

I have been to almost all of the casinos around Chicago and IN. I had the most fun here. They have live music at the Hard Rock Cafe on Fri and Saturday nights. I visited once during weekdays, and it was dead, so you should definitely give it a try on Friday or Saturday. Employees are pretty professional.

Fun place, lots of people and a very diverse crowd. I feel anyone would find a group they would feel comfortable with, but if you don't like diversity you might want to try Dennies (jk) If you don't like smoking this is also going to be a shock as it is a casino.
