Tight machines. Been here 3 days. Don't play slots here! They have pics of winners on the wall. Its funny because most of them are like 12 or 1500.00 winners like thats a big deal. Craps is fun though.

We stayed for one night in our camper in the north lot. No hook ups, but they said we could park there for no charge. Played a few slots. My wife won a little and I lost a little. The casino was nice and clean. The staff was welcoming. There were lots of slot machines and some gaming tables. We ate at the buffet. It wasn't that great even considering it was Monday night. The pizzas were all burnt, there was nothing on the Chinese line, and we didn't qualify for the discounted rate that was advertised because we weren't members. All in all, our one night there was just fine.

While I've never hit it big here I feel good about losing. I just learned that 50% of the profits go right back into the local communities. I met a local teacher at a wedding recently who gets a small fund for classroom supplies every year for the kids!! That's awesome!!

Been to all the casinos around in Mason City and Minnesota. I feel it definitely stands up to any of the bigger places. Good selection of games, nice relaxing atmosphere.

A fun place to go and not to far of a drive. Dont plan to win big though. Id say just go for the fun of it! They also have a great buffet (their pies and desserts are extra yummy). And entertainment often; including some big names. The place is very popular!

I usually enjoy the visit, food is always good; But the young waitress wasn't attentive or helpful. Got my drink order wrong, then was put off fixing a new drink for me. Then she more or less ignored us the whole time we were there and kept wiping down tables around us. We needed refills and dishes removed. When she finally came around she got my drink refill wrong again. She's blonde, and young. Let's help her understand, if being polite and doing her Job. Isn't what she wants to do, don't go to work. Thank you.

Only been here a few times in my travels, but have always had a good time here. Always walked out a winner, as big or small as that may be. I prefer the table games, and all the dealers are really nice and friendly. This place is in the middle of "cornfield hell", on the iowa/ Minnesota border on I-35, but it is definitely worth a stop-over, if you're headed through these parts.

Nice smaller size casino . They offer 3-4 food options and do sell alcohol. Located just off of I-35. On. The Iowa. - Mn Boarder. Location easy to find. Good Luck and have fun.

The Kitchen Buffet is a rip off. Our family gathered there to celebrate last night and paid $21/pp for the"Prime Rib" buffet. They actually tried to pass off a tenderloin as Prime Rib. The sign might have said Prime Rib, but that's definitely NOT what was served. No reputable chef I know of would have done that. And it was so peppered it was not tasty at all. Other than a pleasant wait staff, the experience was one of the worst we've experienced. The selection of food was poor and the dessert section was barely half full and lacked variety of any kind. If you wanted the ice cream, you had to go find a bowl by the soup-they didn't have any by the ice cream. I don't recommend this buffet at all.
