Average, expensive food with smoke everywhere. Poor payouts, bad environment.
stopped in for supper which was very good, the buffet is not as good as I expected, They have all the newest machines only wish my luck had been better
If your in the Tri-State Corner - North Dakota / South Dakota / Minnesota then stop by the Dakota Magic. For a while friends were saying to avoid this place - Poor management - Employees that make sure you didn't feel welcome. But it's back to it's wonderful charm. You feel like part of the Tribe's Family. Staff that smile and show you they care about your totally experience. Facilities have been and are being renewed. Looks like the tribal Chairman - Hon. Robert Shepherd put his mark on this Casino making it a great experience.
12 of us went there for a little get together on a Saturday night. All 12 people lost between 300 and 1300 dollars. One girl put 260 bucks into a Pompeii machine only betting 50 cents a spin until she finally got into the bonus where she won 1 buck! Talking to some of the locals and a few were saying that the gaming commission has been lobbied right out of the regulating/ commissioning all together. It happened in Minnesota and now it looks like it has happened in North Dakota.
This casino consistently offers some really good shows from a variety of musicians and they are all good. Love the auditorium and the seating.The casino itself is ok, although they have got some new machines in recently that livened the place up a little.
We went to Dakota Magic for three days in October for a tattoo convention. We didn't stay in the hotel, but we did spend a lot of time in the convention center as well as played some slots and ate in the restaurants. All three of us that played won right away, and two of us left with more than we put in. The rewards card is a definite must. It was also my birthday month, so I got an extra bonus with casino bucks to play with and a free drink. The convention center is good sized and very nice, but not equipped to run very many people on the network. We had some internet problems for most of the weekend. The buffet wasn't anything special and neither was the restaurant. It was edible, but on the way home we stopped at Applebee's because we wanted semi-decent food. It's a fun place to go, but there isn't a lot around it. The resort we ended up staying at was an hour away and it was the nicest place we could find.
The prime rib was very good. A little under done. Breakfast buffet was very good the next morning. My only complaint would be the help working the line would take off. So you would have to wait forever to get meat cut or cut it yourself.
Typical casino fare. Slot machines mostly penny and dollar, with one bank of quarter slots. The is a high statkes slot area, black jack and craps. There could be more but those are the things I saw. We ate at the buffet. There was a pretty fare selection, but everything was bland. Im sure the food is geared toward the average customer, that being older folks who probably like more bland food. I probably would not eat the buffet here again. The cost was about $15 per person. Be warned, you will smell like smoke when you leave. Smoking and alcohol are both alowed on the gaming floor.
I am a non smoker so walking into the casino I am consumed by the smell smoke. Even in the hotel room which was non-smoking, I had to leave early just couldnt take the smell anymore.
well ill tell you its not magic there... when you gamble money there its the same as any other casino.. you have more of a chance to loose than to win...
