Diamond Jo was always my favorite casino as my husband could play craps (no craps in MN) and I liked so many of the machines. However; in the past year, other slots have been brought in that I am not that crazy about, and my favorites are getting old and don't seem to work as well. I think we will drive a bit further south and go back to Prairie Meadows as they have a hotel attached too and a bigger selection of more interesting slots.

We have been here many times and always had a good time. Casino is comfortable and surprisingly smoke free despite smoking allowed. Could use some of the newer slot such as Hangover or Betty Boop. Had a good time. Staff was helpful and polite. Could use some $5 blackjack tables. Restaurant for dinner was excellent . We'll be back.
Went on Saturday night. $5 craps $5 Mississippi stud $10 blackjack. Slots are super tight. Place is clean and nice inside. Smaller casino but in the middle of no where. Drinks are good price, my Crown Cokes were $4.25! Did not eat there but we went to the town a couple miles away and ate at Signatures based on another review - which was outstanding! We will return to both places.
There was a malfunction in the machines which can happen but I sat for 90 minutes waiting to get my money. Waittress and hostess acknowledged me but the staff taking care of the problem didn't even stop for the first 45 minutes to say they were backed up and would get to me as soon as possible. My friend approached management and he finally came over and talked to me. I was finally given my money and two buffet passes. Thank goodness I had a book on my phone. Doesn't everyone come to the casino to sit at a machine and read? Probably won't be back.
I gamble 10 times a month im from the twin cities I know gambling and casinos very well this place is top notch building and amenities wise. I challenge you to find a better steak in all of iowa then at the wildfire grill only only grievance I have with the place is staff needs to be more friendly on the gaming floor to regular patrons im used to old slightly grumpy know it all pit boss but most customers arnt !
Thanks for your review and we will pass this along to management.
The casino was specifically advertising a Labor Day buffet for $7 so we thought it was worth the drive.When we got there the hostess informed us that they were "notified last night" that they were not offering that price.At least she allowed us to check it out before we decided if we wanted to pay the $10 price.We found the food to look like it had been sitting under the lights FOREVER very unappetizing. Given that we had to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke to use the bathrooms we didn't even use those before getting back into the car. At least the Iowa rest stop next door is nice. :)NOT worth the trip!!!!!!!
Had the opportunity to visit the Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood, IA. where ???? I know me too, but to my delight I've never had a better time playing cards before. I LOOOOVE Vegas, this place has all the games Vegas has, Blackjack, craps, roulette, Ult. TX Hold em', 3 card poker, slots, video poker & a full poker room. There's just one difference. Their employees are all Midwesterners and just the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. They smiled, they talked, they laughed, they joked, they interacted with the players in a way Vegas dealers haven't done in 50 years. It was wonderful. Two great restaurants, plus BK & Subway. Free entertainment on the weekends. I could go on and on. (Too late, eh?) Anyway thanks to all the wonderful dealers @ Diamond Jos'. We'll be back! :-)
My visit on Feb 20th 2015 to this casino was the most embarrassed experience ever. I cashed out a winning ticket of 40 dollars and they print me a blank ticket. The first tech I asked for help gave me an attitude. She didn't want a part of it. They send techs after techs but I'm sure they're just looking at the camera but that shouldn't take an hour. I don't know if they need the money more than I do or am not white enough for their casino to be treat fairly.
