  Really a hit or miss property. Always welcoming employees at front door. Slots are plenty and includes an outdoor smoking area. Coca Cola products and fresh coffee are self service (3 locations, 1 on smoking patio) and there is one bar on main gaming floor, with a bar in the upstairs restaurant next to the horse wagering area. Horses run on a very atypical schedule starting in October and going through the cold Northeast Ohio winters into April. 12-15 races Monday through Thursday afternoons and select Saturday meets. Food is by far the biggest crutch to this property. Small food court that has changed a few times over the years. A Cake by Buddy kiosk and a "pay by the handful" popcorn machine (not kidding) anchor current mainstays Zombie Dogs and a generic diner offering burgers, tenders, philly sandwiches, pretzels (always served with refrigerated cheese, never hot) and desserts and cookies. Your wait time will depend on how bad they are stretched out by management that day. Going up the escalator to the "main restaurant "? Crap shoot if they are open, and if they are open, there will be one employee and the effort will be minimum (due to comp dollars). Slots are cool, casinos that offer the best amenities are my selling points now and most Penn Gaming locations have taken a few steps back on the guest service piece, often referring to the player kiosks. Decent points of interest in the area also.

  I have been here several times. Never seemed to have much luck. Every time I come here I park at the end of the lot in the exact same spot because I have a trailer on my truck. That’s the only time I pass here is if I have my car trailer because I don’t go to my farm without taking something up there. The security guard, let’s just call her “Karen” came and told me I can’t park there and wasn’t exactly friendly so I just said “then I can’t spend my money here” and she just said “OKAY” in the most smart ass way she could gather. So…. Not the first security guard that caused me to NEVER return to a business but certainly the first at a casino. Especially a mostly empty dump like this one. There is ZERO chance that anyone was going to need the spots I was occupying and have over a dozen times in the past. The female security guard working at 11 am 9/23/26 cost them a lot of money over time because I now don’t even have to consider if I want to stop in. I DONT!
