Having been a faithful player since DAY 1 I went today to spend the afternoon playing my favorite slots. BUT I had to leave after a few hours due to the smell in the casino and it wasn't just from the cigarettes! Hope my comment will be read by someone who can radify this situation.

Typical casino. A little small. Appeared slightly run-down and shabby. Lots of machines were out-of-order during my visit.

I love the Erie Casino, for whatever reason this Casino remains my favorite even though Cleveland has multiple options now. I rarely win, but have fun playing. I like that they have a refreshment station so you can grab a free soda without bothering a bartender or drink girl each time you would like something, this is a little perk... More

The casino is open 24/7 and is a typical casino. The restaurant that sells hot dogs and fast food is crap. Not like any Smith's weiner I have ever eaten. Like boiled mush. Don't eat there. The staff is very friendly. They have non smoking areas but don't let it fool you. You get less smoke but not away from... More

This is a great place to waste a few hours and probably lose some money! They have a wide variety of games and machines, and a large buffet. Prices are reasonable, but parking was a little problematic, so go early if you can! And remember your ID!

Not good for someone who does not smoke. Even though there were non-smoking areas, the smoke drifted over and there were customers who lit up and disregarded the signage. Employees did not enforce the policy. :(

The casino is average. Like all the others dont go expecting to win. They have a nice restaurant and snack food area. The machines are like every other place. I wanted to watch the horses race, but they dont race on weekends anymore. I dont understand why they didnt build it lakeside where you could enjoy the lake.

We had a great time watching the horse races. It brought back memories of when I lived in Kentucky and watched the Kentucky derby as a child. There are a variety of slot machines in the casino and unlimited self serve fountain drinks, tea and coffee. We liked it so much we went 2 days in a row.
