New and clean. Loved it. I won so I might be a bit bias, JK I really enjoyed it. Located near the freeway.
I was here because I had to be for a convention. I have never really spent much time in a casino, so I was a bit excited to go. My impression is that the casino and experience is ok. It seems there are many senior citizens and quite a bit smoky. They have lots and lots of slot machines, so if you like those this may be a good place for you. I tried the buffet and I did think it was good. My hotel room was clean and pretty up-to-date. They offered $29 rooms which is a good deal. I'll come back if there is another convention I need to attend, but I wont likely go back on my own time. It's not really my thing.
Lots of slots and some table games but only blackjack, 3 card poker and 4 card poker. No craps, roulette or other poker games. Very, very, very smoky! Clothes and hair stink after just a couple hours on a busy weekend night.
Casino bars were very nice, and they had a live band on a Wednesday night. The slots were not nice. We could not play very long because they were so tight. No waitstaff on casino floor, went to willows high stakes to try and get a drink, waitress said "I'll get there when I can!" We waited over half hour.
Pros - Great buffet. Good Entertainment venue. Cons - can be impossible at times to get into the buffet. Plan accordingly
The dinner special was perfect to share between two people! Friendly staff. Other than that, smokey unhealthy air.
I was mailed a $29 room rate coupon only for Sun-thur stay. When I called to ask for a discounted room for a friday night stay, the casino host Rhonda put me on hold came back to the phone and said, "No problem, I will transfer you now." and proceeded to transfer to reservations. She totally ignored my 1st question and reservationist said all they could offer was the rate printed on my coupon. Rhonda, never answered my question. Needless to say, we went to Hinckley, but never stepped foot into that casino.
We went to see our friend's band at the lounge it was nice. Good food shared by each of us. We were happy with that the bar wasn't that busy until later and the girls were not happy with the wait time for their drinks. I had water with lemon.
I normally stay away from casinos, but this is in the North Woods and I was surprised at the variety of slots available and the variety of restaurants. I set a firm limit on my gambling a a donation limit, but I had fun here. This was a week day night and probably was not a crazy as during a event or weekend.
First time at the Hinckley Casino and we were not disappointed. Air quality was fresh (even though smoking is allowed), casino floor kept very clean...nicely laid out. Had a bar as well as free refreshment areas. Had a great time and will be back.Mary M.Hobart, IN
