Although this casino is huge with many choices for gaming, it is a very smokey place even for a smoker. The machines I've tried are very "tight" so limit your losses to what you can afford. The bingo hall upstairs is large and okay as far as bingo goes. I went to the night owl session and it only cost... More

We saw two concerts in this beautiful, comfortable and intimate theater. There's not a bad seat in the place. The sound system is great. It's unfortunate you have to run the gauntlet of slot machines, walkers and smoke to get to the poorly parked theater. I guess the want you to get lost coming and going so you can stop... More

You'll be breathless. Really! This is a smokers haven where it seems even powerful exhaust fans can't keep up with the Marlboro Man. For a non-smoker this is an eye-watering experience not to mention the smoky experience follows one home with the aroma deeply saturated into one's clothing. Be sure to hang your clothes outside for a day or two.... More

This is definitely NOT Las Vegas. The facility itself is wonderful. The appearance is up to par and well surpasses any size limitations I thought they would have. The staff are helpful and nice, but if you watch when they aren't looking.. it comes off very unorganized and like there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians, no pun... More

Went here for the entertainment - 'Duosonic' in the Bar 360. Loved the two man band. The singer was awesome and the guitar guy was amazing. Two really great talents that strangely go great together. The atmosphere was terrible - Very smoky. Too bad they don't have to obey the state no smoking laws. Spoiles the otherwise great experience. Will... More

There are some good and some bad things about this casino. The BAD include the horrific cloud of smoke. Yes, it is allowed here and all, but stil, there must be SOMETHING to alleviate the amount of smoke lingering in here. Another unattactive thing about this casino is the LARGE number of people who just sit at machines...not playing them....just... More

I have never been here and basically came to play Bingo and some slots. I first have to say it is a nice but it is smoky. Wisconsin is a smoke free state but because this is on a Indiana Resveration, smoking is allowed. In the Bingo area they did offer a smoke free section, which was good. Bingo was... More

As probably the only newcomer to the Potowama casino that day I saw the place through fresh eyes without baggage. What I saw was mostly fun for the age group on 55-70 year olds. But it was a weekday afternoon to be fair so most were unemployed or retired and hoping for a change in life more than a distraction.... More

Confusing layout, and super tight machines. blackjack is your best bet. Drinks are not cheap, but very strong none the less. If you are trying to take a cab from here to a local hotel, good luck. The staff do absolutely nothing to help you with transportation. kind of a free for all. Although the shuttle is supposed to run... More
