I've never been in a casino before...and the cigarette smoke was heavy in the air throughout the building. Zero air circulation. At the deli they only had one cashier and when I was ordering she told her boss that she needs a break and he said that there is no one to give her a break. If I was her I would've quit right then! I'll never return and I have no reason or want to step foot in any other casino.

The only reason I would come here is for the buffet. They got all the slot machines you could dream is, table games and the best drinks! Their bartend know how to make a proper drink, I wouldn't leave before having one at the cocktail bar.

My husband and I actually stayed at the emerald queen in Fife, but came to this one for the buffet. It was for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed the crab, although he did mention he wished it had been warm. We had a large group and they were able to accommodate us without a terribly long wait (maybe 20 min), which was much appreciated. There was a great selection of meats, fish, and crab, not much in the way of sides. However the mashed potatoes and gravy were legit. The staff was wonderful, the gambling was fun, and a large selection of slots and tables.

My favorite casino! I always have a great time here, and I usually win at least a little more than what I came in with. Their buffet is AWESOME. Definitely worth playing for two hours to earn a comped meal, no doubt. The parking lot can be a bit hairy and the construction sucks but it won't last forever.

Good food and lots of slot machines and plenty of card tables. They have an actual smoking section in the dining area of the buffet. Can't remember the last time I was actually about to smoke right after I ate. We definitely had a good time. Will definitely be going back!

Been going there just about every 3 to 5 days off and on for over 5 years. Casino is nice. Security guards are like sharks hunting in an ocean. Most casinos you wont see them too much unless their handling something. Food smells great in the parking lot..but you cant smell it inside. Smells of cigarette smoke. Most casinos I've been in use air ionizers. Clean and freshen. I cant believe that the casino closes its restaurants for a period of time early early morning. Due to liquor laws i would think food and drinks should always be available at all hours of operation. Comps are given out during those hours.for example if you get there late night and make a night of it, your going to end up receiving your comp when there is no restaurants open to eat in. So you've spent way to much working towards it to discover you cant use it. Its an okay place but nothing to write home about.

Food is pretty good there most days. Sometimes the crabs a little dirty. Play for 2 hours and get a $25 comp for buffet or delis. Feel like I only win Fri-Sun and sometimes holidays.

The casino has absolutely no ventilation and it smells like pure smoke. My friend and I had VIP tickets to see Brian McKnight and the concert Manager for the casino gave meet and greet wrist bands to attendees who were sitting way in the back. The Manager had very bad customer service as well and picked his favorites. The bathrooms are real dirty in the Casino too. Last but not least, parking is very scarce there. The Casino doesn’t even have valet parking. I recommend you go to another Casino in Washington. Thank you👍🏾

Emerald Queen Casino offers a variety of fun things to do from hosting concerts to winning at their casino or enjoying the various eateries or kick back in their hotel. The casino does offer a non smoking section while playing the games and a smoke free restaurant. A new parking structure with a shuttle service to the main building is nice.
