I use to go here a couple of Tuesdays a month, Senior Tuesdays. After complaining to management, I haven't been in a couple of months. I decided to try it again today, hoping that, they would have changed. Unfortunately, no change. I always play the same machine. I arrived at 12:50 PM. The casino is usually pretty empty, and now I know why! There are NO cocktail waitresses. You're depending on the bartender to see you and realize that you are there. Sometimes there two bartenders. They do not walk around to check on customers. This one bar tender (picture posted) was talking to someone for over 30 minutes, not paying any attention to any other customers. I can see the bar from where I'm playing. After waiting 40 minutes, I took a chance, leaving my purse on my chair, to go to the bar. I told the bartender where it was sitting, that I had been sitting there for 40 minutes, and could I please have a Chardonnay. She eventually brought it to me. The other problem . . . The whole place smells like Pine-Sol cleaner. Workers are continuously cleaning when there's really no customers. If they had someone paying attention to the customers playing, maybe COD's business would do a lot better. I will not go back! I will bring my money elsewhere! read more

Great place to play slots. You'll find a variety of slots and plenty of the latest and most popular machines currently out there. They have fresh coffee 24/7, a soda machine and hot water and tea bags for those who prefer to drink tea. And, of course, they have a full bar for those who want alcohol. If they served food, this would be a perfect place to visit. That's the only thing they are missing (and I don't recommend buying your food from the bakery next door...read that review before you buy anything from them.) Even if they had a simple hot dog cart for game days in the sports book, that would be enough. William Hill has a sports book inside with plenty of big tvs to watch most live sports. The only sport they don't carry is horse racing (which is a major disappointment). However, they will carry horse racing on big racing days, such as the Kentucky Derby, but keep mind they are NOT parimutuel. That means they won't pay you full track odds, so if you bet a Pick 6 and it hits for $500,000, they won't pay you the full amount. Instead, they'll pay you something like 300to1 based on your amount wagered AND use a hard cap of a maximum $5,000 payout for any bet made. For casual horse players who only bet Win/Place/Show, you're probably okay placing wagers on horse racing here when they carry it. Otherwise, true horse bettors need to find a parimutuel book (such as CVI, Atlantis, Peppermill or Caesar's Republic - always ask the teller if they are a true parimutuel before you place a horse racing wager). On the plus side, they have kiosks for placing bets if you don't wish to place your bet through a teller (like me). read more

This was my favorite Carson Valley casino 5-6 years ago. But, since then, it's not worth the drive, unless you're new, and would like to see a museum piece. Keno went electronic, the slot machines are nearly all high priced and updated, and there are now more contests or incentives to make it worthwhile. It's a shame. I guess the owner has other interests now. Too busy rolling in his money to give a shit. Sorry, but true read more

Real chill casino. They have a great Keno area, and my wife won several games. Had a lot of fun. The Sports Book area is really nice. Comfortable chairs and you can buy tickets from the cashier or the kiosk. I won on the Monday night game, so I was happy. There is a counter for drinks which include soda, cappuccino, coffee or iced tea. Free! Bathrooms are clean and the smoke is not bad. There is a non-smoking area also which has historical relics from the original gas station/mechanic shop that was there. read more

We visit Carson City twice a year and always stop at the COD coming in and leaving Carson City, on our way back to the Central Valley in California. Love the non-smoking section, free beverage station, and the nice, laid-back staff at the COD. 100 times better than the old Sharkey's ever was. read more

Kurt makes this place awesome!! He does great close up magic and has great stories. Make sure you sign up for their Jackpot Rewards card and get the extra perks. We are not big gamblers but love to come in and do a little and get a magic trick or two and then have lunch next door (connected) at Schat's bakery. read more

Number one your main casino is always too hot and the smoke free room is way too cold. Number two, Your Plinko game sucks. You play $20, $30, and you get $1 or $3, that is an insult. If you are trying to chase your customers away you are doing a good job. We used to love your casino read more

COD Casino: August 27, 2014, about 6:30PM Esmeralda Street and 395 Minden, NV The former auto dealership whose roots date back to 1912 has been re-opened in the last week or so as a casino. I've only been in once, for an initial walk through (as I don't gamble and a casino has to give me another reason to stop in), and so this review is really based on a five minute tour, probably not fair, but you do get to see a lot in five mintues. The first impression leads me to believe that they truly paid attention to the building as they repurposed it. They've left some office space and a few relics from a bygone era, and this part of the building looks like a moment stopped in time. The ceiling has some very nice copper looking panels embedded in parts, and woodwork looks like it's nicely done. Do you like blackjack or craps? If so, at least for now, you'll need to head down the road a bit, as the only table I saw was a covered poker table. As a former blackjack dealer, I'm always hoping for the full casino experience (including an array of table games, bars, and food), but times, and interests, have changed. It may be a while before some of those games come back into vogue. This is a slot house. I did not see a restaurant, nor did I see a waitress. I did see a bartender, and he was nice as he told me that they had no matches. It's early, there are glitches, it will improve, and, as a history guy, I really appreciate the effort at preserving the building. The fair thing to do will be to go back later, after the glitches have been considered. I'm looking forward to another visit. read more

Nice to Look at , comfortable environment Night Time Manager (Bald Head) not very Friendly, i say Hi cause I'm courteous and it seems a small challenge just to get a Hi back. could use some new chairs. Payouts are not much at all... if you want a place to play keno and don't expect to go home with more the $10 or $20 bucks well this is the place. read more

I'm very disappointed with COD Casino. I receive their promotional cards. We bring in the part for the drawing earlier in the day. We ask what time will the drawing be in the evening. We plan to return before the drawing and gamble and wait for the results of the drawing. We have been repeatedly told the drawing is at 8:30 pm. We arrive usually 15 minute to 30 minutes in advance and they have already had the drawing. When asked they say it was 15 minutes ago, and we were there. This appears to be a rigged drawing. Why tell one time and decide to draw and an earlier time. This has happened repeatedly. The only I can say it must be rigged. read more

This manager of this casino is very gastopo like ... he hovers over you as you take a sip off your drink , while watching a game that I just gambled on ... to make sure you put up your mask after every sip of ice tea that I paid for ... what gives ... please show the tape to your owner of me sitting there taking a sip so he can really see how long my mask was down ... please show him or show me... I've never been treated so rudely like this from someone in my life ... I just went across the street to the bigger casino in town Carson Valley Inn and was treated with great appreciation for being there and spending my hard earned money in these tough times... if they want to hover over everyone just close the doors... or give a directive upon entering so customers can decide to play your silly games... Simon says. Pull your mask up ... for god sakes ... u got to be kidding me... I hope the owner knows he is driving away business .. and iam owed a apology...if they ever want my business I think casinos need customers ... more than customers need casinos ... my opinion ... look out for what you wish for... mr cod casino manager ... kickin people out .. does not make your owner any money ? And for not putting my mask on as soon as I took a sip of my drink ... come on your a idiot ... fare thee well ... CVI will gladly earn my business Larry Miller Gambler @ Resident 31 years read more

Don't play Keno. Leo helped everyone except paying customers and I missed out on two rounds of keno waiting for him to re-up my tickets. Went elsewhere to spend this months allowance on Keno. read more

I miss this place. This casino was my favorite place to go to with my family. Cocktail waitress made her rounds but was not overbearing, the bartender was friendly and remembered who we were. You don't run into loud or obnoxious arrogant drunk people here compared to other casinos down the street. I hope for the best for this casino, I really enjoyed going here. read more

It's a casino. You win some, you lose some. All slots/video poker. No table games. They do have live Keno and a sports book. The restrooms are super nice and clean. The self-serve N/A beverage bar is nice. We have fun here after dinner next door at Francisco's. Get their player's card and every other month you'll get $10 in free play if you bring your dinner receipt from Francisco's. Mainly locals. Friendly. Nice selection of newer machines. But the real gem here is Len the bartender! Len works evenings primarily. You'll know him when you meet him. Super friendly, great service, and an all around fun guy! read more

Mitch securit, was the only on that help me after almost an hour, after I was told to wait because everyone was "busy" the guys "counting the money" was just pressing the Calculator like a dumbass falling asleep when I needed assistance I have so much to say about this casino don't go here. really suck. im not rating because that's how much it sucked . read more

LOVE this place! It used to be an old garage turned into a casino with a lot of character. Set in a quaint part of Downtown Minden, COD boasts several gambling rooms one of which is non-smoking. They have an all you can drink bar in these rooms and a friendly staff to boot dressed up like garage attendants. Such a cute place. I couldn't have thought up a better theme! read more

Deb on her name tag is a grave yard mod manger she is super rude . One time I asked for her help she told me I'm busy helping customers. It made me feel like I was not a guest at the cod casino . She is angry mean and very rude . She sould mot be in the customer service casino indrsty . I'm sure she will not be there very much longer . She is angry and not a good guest friendly person . deb is a joke in customer service . Should get a job working in a cave with no humans around . No customer service required read more

This place is infested with dopers and bad service you can tell by the look of the employees that they are treated poorly by management, very oppressive place to play. Plus there is no food served. The bartenders and keno attendants make it worth while though as they are friendly and upbeat read more

Love this place. The employees are friendly. And they have a decent selection of beer too. Just wish they sold food and I'd be here all the time. read more

Music is always too loud , should be background music only in a place where your customers average over 65 years old . My wife and I play until I get a headache and then we go elsewhere to spend our money . Management will sometimes turn it down but the next one turns it back up . The speaker is directly above the keno machines in nonsmoking area . Will not set for 2 or 3 hours with 1980s music blaring in these 73 year old ears . If they don't want our money , we can stay awy . John Armstrong read more

If your machine malfunctions on a free spin (it happened twice), you get nothing. Don't come here.

Wife and I love COD!!! Small-town atmosphere, retro music, Len and Jason always ready to chat/help out. Self-serve soda/coffee/tea is a huge plus. Also love the non-smoking section and its fresh air. Granted, we wonder what the policy is regarding e-cigs, as the last visit involved a lady in the non-smoking section using an e-cig, and though it may just be vapors, the scent/smell left something to be desired. Non-smoking needs to cover all forms of smoking/vaping. Thank you for a great place to have fun!!!! read more

Okay this may not be a huge casino but what a friendly place. We just wanted to check it out because it was in a historical area. We were greeted by Megan, the manager, as soon as we walked in. She offered to show us around and give us a little history of the place. We stayed and had some complimentary sodas only to be followed by a few spins on the slot machines. Played video poker at bar and had free beer had a non smoking area too! Soon to have Bingo and Poker. read more

I love this place . Great local casino. When my girlfriend lived in Minden, we would hang out here and leave as winners! Wish they had this casino in Las Vegas . They also gave $5 free play to casino workers every Monday. Not sure if they still do that but it was a nice incentive . Staff is friendly and they tend to the guests . read more

Unlike other casinos, this is the same but no comps, like for food or....it is a nice small casino though. Management OK, employees are great. Overhead music depends. Sometimes it is loud, sometimes nice and low. Music stations vary as well. Hit and miss on what you might like. But it is rarely crowded so you would have no problem finding a machine or worry about too much smoke. read more

I'm pretty nice and easy going but the way I was treated here for a compt. Drink was ridiculous. Manager who's probably in her 60s needs to learn customer curtesy. Don't need to be talked to like a infant. They say 25 cents of active playing for compt drink I'm playing penny slots by the dollar ever 3 min wtf ? I'll just buy a fucking beer it's not a big deal until your rude. read more
