Inside Ocean Downs Casino, there is a little food court place called Waves that serves food until midnight. I got a Philly Cheesesteak (with pepper jack cheese) $14. Had no grilled onions or hot pepper relish at all. I asked for no tomatoes and got tomatoes instead. They were very generous with the meat however. BLT ($8) bacon was incredibly dry and hard. I do not recommend getting a BLT from here. Maryland Crab Soup ($7) had good flavor and seasoning - not much crab meat though. A fountain soda was $3. They have Pepsi products. There is also a credit card fee of 3.5%. Service was a bit slow. There was two guys in the kitchen and one person taking orders. It took a little over 20 minutes to get our food. They also serve pizza by the pie and by the slice. Inside the casino, there is a bar and a ton of slot machines. Some slot machines were out of order. Not enough table games were open for a Thursday night. They had 2 adjacent Roulette tables and only one was active. Everybody was tightly crowded around that one table. It would be nice if they opened the other Roulette table up. There were mainly Blackjack tables ($25 min) open, and one or two Texas Hold 'Em and Mississippi Stud tables. The Craps table was also closed. There is plenty of parking outside. The casino is not 24 hours and apparently closes at 2 AM. read more

Went to the casino to watch the horses race. I wish there were more self service booths instead of having to wait in line. Went during my birthday week and got $15 towards slots. Also got some more slot money for being there for the first time. Wish there were lower table prices. The lowest price I saw for black jack was $15. Super small casino but still a good amount of slot machines. Food was also surprisingly good. The bread is super soft. You can eat in the restaurant and watch the horses race. There's lots of events going on during the week as well. read more

Ehh! Small and compact. The had everything as far as slots and table games. They even had bubble craps which was cool to see. Staff and dealers were kinda pissy, them and the fact the casino closes at 2 is why I gave 3 stars. Maybe it was a bad night for them. Good night for me. In for 6 out for 2,850. read more

So.. this was the only casino which was close to our hotel and we thought of having a quick visit .. looks really big from outside but inside is too small. Having visited Atlantic City and others , this was almost nothing ... but for that place , it was ok .. They just had 2 roulette tables !!!!! Crazy. So many people in 2 tables. .. wish they had more tables . And the biggest joke is - the waitress bringing beer said it isn't free ok.. I thought it might be a dollar and she said it's 5$ ... first time ever I saw this ! I was laughing like crazy . That shows how broke are these casino owners ! Wil never go back again.. no fun playing here . read more

Clean nice place to enjoy some table games and slots. A large variety of games to meet your expectations.

This was a very quick visit because the casino felt like it had zero personality. With that said though it is still not a bad rating because the service was welcoming and the security was clearly doing a good job keeping the venue safe. Will I come back if in the area - No Did I win money in the slots - No, but that is part of the risk of a casino To make this venue better the owner needs to invest in decor and the experience read more

they have really difficult and really fun trivia! everyone can win- 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and last place. While you're waiting the food there is delicious. The lobster mac and cheese is to die for and they have the magic touch when it comes to their chicken tenders. The casino is super fun and i'm sending good vibes to you read more

Ocean Down Casino in Berlin Maryland. This casino is near Ocean City Maryland. A little over 10 minutes to get to the casino from Ocean City. You must be 21 years or older to go in the casino. The casino is medium size building even though it looks big from the outside. The casino has many slots and tables. The tables is located in the back. Our visit was Tuesday June 20, 2023. As you drive up to the building, You can see how big the casino looks. There is parking all over the place. So you should get a spot even if the place is busy. Parking is free. As soon you park the car. You walk into the building where security is at the front door to make sure you are 21 years and old to enter the casino. After security, You see slots to your right, slots to your left and center of the floor. They have slots everywhere. If you go to the left inside the casino and walk all the way to the back. You the have all the tables like craps, black jack, roulette etc. So if you are a table person like myself, then that's where you need to go like I mentioned in my previous comment above. They do have a restaurant and a bar area in the middle of the casino. Navigation through the casino isn't hard. It's mostly a big cycle but the inside isn't big like the building is outside. You have all the slots everywhere you go beside in the back on the left. The casino is clean but felt like a little old fashioned casino like you would find in Las Vegas or something. It definitely need a major upgrade in the place. I didn't get to use the bathrooms so I couldn't say if they was clean or not but we did go on a slow day so it probably was clean during our visit. They have new and old fashion slots which is great to see. Some of my favorite games are the newer ones. The main tables was close like the craps table but they did have a electric craps table open. You still get to roll like normal but you don't bet on table. You just bet on the computer instead. All the other tables was was open which was good to see. You do not get free soda in this casino like literally every other casino I have even been to. I didn't see any soda machines beside the one that was in the restaurant. That's something that the casino need to look into because we was thirsty and not customer service support. The staff seem like they was happy but couldn't really tell if that makes sense but the guy that was hosting the craps table game was great! One thing I did not see for the casino was a server. I didn't see one person that giving out drinks and the place was empty at the time. It just feels like customer service is out of the door with this casino but it's a good time just to try and win some money. We did not get to try the food and drinks at the bar. I highly recommend going down the street somewhere more cheaper though the. Inside the casino. We do recommend coming here but only to gamble. Don't suspect any customer service support like other casinos around. We did go a slow weekday but that shouldn't matter in my opinion. Overall 3.2/5 read more

A small horse track and casino. Signed up for casino card and received $10 free play plus won another $10 on their penguin game. Seemed to be a nice crowd mostly vacationing people and facility was clean as were the bathrooms. It is very close to Ocean City, MD. They have promotions every week. We went to see the Clydesdale horses. All employees were polite and friendly. Their parking lot even has a complimentary shuttle service. I had fun and enjoyed the evening, will be back again. read more

Oceans Down is a solid casino if you're looking to gamble without having to break the bank. The main reason why me and some of my friends opt to make the 2.5 hour drive from coastal Virginia is because they have table mins as low as $5, even on the weekends!! I will say that the amount of table games that they have here is very limited -- probably less than 20 table games all together (Mississippi stud, blackjack, 3 card poker, roulette, craps, etc). Blackjack here does pay 2 to 1 and dealer hits on soft 17 which gives you a better advantage than some other casinos. Most of the dealers here are friendly and engaging and make the gambling experience fun. I would say that this casino is 70% filled with slots and the rest are table games. This place is much quieter and the people who come here are less rowdy and a bit on the older side. Overall, if you're looking for value, I highly recommend coming here to make your dollar stretch the most. I've only eaten in the cafeteria area once and it's decent - pretty typical American fare. I recommend eating at the Mcdonald's a few blocks away instead though. Don't expect this to be a modern casino with some modern amenities - there's no extra bells and whistles here folks. Good luck everyone!! read more

small but satisfying- they had ample variety of tables & slots, all well-priced it was easy to register for a player's card (&easy to check out winnings take) I used my 10$ free play to check out a number of machines- all well kept & clean- Then played some table games with very friendly, engaging dealers they come around with drink carts (offering free bottled water- & ability to purchase sodas/cocktails/beers) very nice bathrooms, easy parking and complimentary shuttle service- would visit again read more

Let me tell you one thing that would make you shocked. I even didn't get the chance to say anything from the beginning of the accident. Yes I call it an accident. But for those people who have no clue about what happened they've worked hard to convince themselves and others that I Committed a crime. I was in the smoking room at one of the machines that had me win $10K after the fifth spin. During that time I was cashing out my voucher and going through my pocket as it was showing on their surveillance video. I turned my head to the left side to notice a similar color to one of my credit cards. I reached out and I placed the card in my pocket shirt. I came back to my seat and I heard couple of people were talking about their credit card so I said to myself let me go outside and find a security guard so he can verify a card that has a faded numbers and the name as well. During my time there my eyes were so tired and I just got my new glasses and they told me that I need time to get use to them. After I finished my smoke and people were going in and out I went out to look for a security guard that they were no where to be found. Because each time anyone hit a small jackpot they have to send out a security guard with the cashier. Now during my time outside I got distracted and I continue walking between the machines like everyone else. After I ran out of money I wanted to use my American Express credit card to get cash advance. I was aware that the cashier doesn't accept American Express credit card but still I attempted to use it. To my bad luck and after I handed my own ID imagine my own ID by accident I insert the card that I found on the floor. Of course and I don't blame the owner of the card holder calling the police on his debit card. Because himself until now he cannot believe what happened was normal. someone hand out his own information and commit a fraud . But the card holder wasn't truthful about the description of his faded debit card that was impossible to read or even read the numbers. From the start of the incident I was innocent and I am innocent. But we live in a system that is rigged and to be able not to do jail time and prove that they're doing their job properly you would be in a situation where you have to admit to something that you didn't commit. You all be careful and stay away from that place stay away. Ocean downs don't worry you have the worst Rigged machines ever and Karma will come your way soon. read more

Ocean Downs Casino is A STRAIGHT UP SCAM!! I'm NEVER going there again. I was going to the Roulette machine had $10 on 0/00 and basket the 0,1,2 for $10. The wheel spun and the ball landed on "0"! After the ball settled in place twenty dollar void showed up on the screen. I was very calm and polite until they told me that the machine malfunction. Which voids all payouts. They said the door came loose on the machine..... They reset the machine and kept the machine where I was open! Gentlemen, said, haven't you tried the table roulette? I told the manager that this is not the time to throw that out there. Extremely disappointing. All the machines should be working valid if not, you have over 200 cameras facing straight down on the machines that you can Watch My Exact Bet. Or I told him he could even hit rebet and see that I was on" 0" even the lady next to me vouched. Still walked out with the same amount I came with however that $180+$60= $240 hit should have been credited or paid out. They lost a local that was a regular because of this. I guess ill be going 2 dover or Harrington for now on. I have 0 tolerance when Ocean downs SCAMS you for your winnings. Especially on a roulette machine that was working perfectly for me until I hit. read more

Had a great time at the casino, until a gage wearing casino employee named Steven came in on roulette. I've never seen a dealer laugh when people lose money, and worst of all, talk shit while it happened. I wasn't apart of the hand, but felt like I should ask him why he's laughing. He responded with "what are you going to do about it?" This is my worst experience ever at a casino, and everyone should avoid him like the plague. read more

Worst place on earth.I'd rather get robbed on the side of the street than gamble here. Absolute joke of a casino. They might have one pleasant employee in the entire joint and he was our dealer. Let me paint you a picture. Memorial Day weekend sitting at the blackjack table with a couple buddies. We buy a round of drinks. It's just us at the same table for about an hour or so when some guy in a terrible suit comes up and asks my friend to leave and blatantly lies to his face saying he was stumbling around and bumping in to people. I stand up to defend him saying we've been at this same table the whole time and we're talking to the guy trying to find any reason as to why any of it was justified. I said you might as well kick everyone out with a drink if he has to leave. Singled out my friend while he was a spending customer. I didn't even lose any money this time and we were escorted out for the most pathetic ordeal so I had to come let you all know on here. Fire everyone and start over or don't serve drinks and kick people out for buying one. I'd rather the property be an empty field than this travesty of an establishment. Negative -100 stars. read more

been to mom & pop places that offered better machines with a better chance of winning something me and my elderly father decided to give it a try. We both had 300 apiece on us it went quick and could not even get a $40 ticket never will go back read more

Not the slots! They certainly didn't pay off much. I don't think I'll be going back there soon. It's not fun to lose & lose.! Live right across the line in Delaware! I enjoyed Harrington more. I seem to have had more luck there. But I probably will try both again. Maybe next time I'll be luckier! read more

Sadly Yelp doesn't offer 0 stars as an option...so 1 will do smh! Unfortunately this was the only casino near our hotel. This was more small than I was expecting (though understandable given that it's near a beach area). Was not feeling the vibe at all and did not think it was that great of a casino at all which is a shame because I had high hopes when hearing about this one. Oh well! read more

Well - had some time to kill and stopped here to do a little gambling (twice) when it rained. They recently added table games so with the insatiable need to collect chips this was casino #70 I have been to. Nice enough place - didn't do any track betting just gambling and even though it is small the place was clean and somewhat lively even on a weekday. Problem was that I was dusted quite promptly, twice, and the dealers were somewhat quiet and focused on their jobs only. Don't know. Wasn't my day(s) read more

Came tonight to enjoy my sister's 21st birthday but unfortunately the bartender's attitude put us all in a poor mood with his own sour attitude. Wish I knew his name but maybe the higher ups can address his attitude once they see this. We tipped 20% but if I could take it back I so would. Not sure what his problem was but coming from the service industry you cannot have repeat business if you project your unhappiness onto your guests. Again, I hope they can address this with him so he can turn that frown upside down. :) EDIT: his name is Chris read more

Was in town so Saturday evening (03/07/20) we went to to dinner and then we went to the casino since my friend plays poker. I'm not big on gambling but I do love the casino atmosphere. This is a very small casino compared to what I'm used to in the Baltimore Metro area. While my friends were playing poker, I went over to the customer service counter and signed up for an Players Club Reward card. The woman who helped me was courteous and efficient and explained how to redeem my $10 in free slot play at the kiosk. Most of the slots are penny slots form what I could see. I'm not big on slots so after losing about $30 (my $20 plus the $10 free play) I was just people watching. Hopefully after the Coronavirus shut down I'll come back and explore some of their entertainment events. I didn't get to experience the food or bar services either so I'll try that next time as well. read more

Ocean Downs Casino has all of the hallmarks of a standard casino. They have plenty of parking, an attentive security detail checking IDs upon entry, and a variety of games and bars once inside. There are plenty of slots, plus the standard games like Craps, Blackjack, Poker, and Roulette. The Craps tables were the place to be. There was good energy and the staff was friendly. The bar staff was also very friendly, though they charge full price for drinks for players. In my experience, many casinos offer free drinks or discounted drinks for active players. There was also a decent amount of trash and empty cups lying around near the slots and in the cup holders at table games. Our party had a good time overall, but we wouldn't go out of our way to return if we come back to Ocean City. read more

I've been to my fair share of casinos and this one was not even up to par to even Atlantic City. Aside from being small and having an obnoxious amount of security (which makes you wonder what type of people go there). It took them over 15 minutes to sign my sister up for a card. (My grandmother and myself got our cards pretty quick). They did have a promotion running, but I only got like $5 which is kind of sad. (Most casinos do like $10). On top of that, no servers come around with drinks and the slots were pretty stingy, in my opinion. Even machines I came across with wins were only wins of like $25. My sister did win $75 on her machine though. Once and done for me. read more

It's gonna be a long night. That's exactly what it felt like. I actually drove 2 and half hours to get here for one particular game. Hey it's no fun on travel by yourself. I get bored. This small casino hasn't been open very long and they have a long way to go for customer service unlike Barona. I know you read that review. Since there're small, I didn't expect many tables. There's two pits with about 10 tables apiece. And the one game I wanted was at a pit that was closed. You would think at request they would open it but no. I understand they didn't have enough dealers so I played a couple of other games waiting for them to open it at 6. I got there about 230pm. 6pm and I was told that the upcoming shift would open the pit at 8pm. 8pm and I was told that the pit would open at 10pm. I could have went to Dover Casino instead of staying here to play games that I wasn't interested in. They finally opened at 1030pm and the only reason I didn't blow up for the lack of service was because I had to tell myself, they didn't have enough dealers. I just wished they told me that well ahead of time. Overall three stars. It's tough letting my emotions not factor into this rating. Parking good and dealers friendly. Pit/floor bosses need to arrange rotations better to support the customer service. Now excuse me, time for my roll. Oooh crap 7. It's gonna be a long night. M read more

Being the gambleholics we are, my boyfriend and I found the closest casino during our trip to Ocean City and decided to try our luck. Ocean Downs is about 10 minutes outside of Ocean City. When you start to see the billboards, you'll know you're going the right way. If you're expecting table games or a Vegas/Atlantic City style experience -- this is not the place for you. EVERYTHING here is electronic, from roulette, blackjack, craps, and slots. There's also racetracks as well. There's newer roulette and craps machines towards the back of the casino, and an old school 1980s style one in the front. The casino itself is small -- if you're standing on one side of the casino, you can easily see the other side. There's only four ticket redemption machines (two in the front, two next to the cashier), but if you don't want to wait, you can also redeem your ticket at the cashier. Overall, this place is a bit outdated and could benefit from a renovation. The bar offers premium liquor and a few beers on tap, as well as complimentary sodas, coffee, and water. They don't offer a buffet here like most casinos do, but they do have a small cafe. The bathrooms are clean and well-kept, and the staff throughout the casino were all friendly! It's also smoke-free throughout the whole casino, with an atrium outside for smokers. If you don't mind electronic games, this casino does the job. And just because we won -- I'm adding another star to the rating. ;) read more

Middle aged guy wearing a Nickleback t-shirt un-ironically. That is all you need to know about the clientele. Assortment of slots, black jack with video dealers and roulette with an electronic croupier is what you get from the gaming side.

The perfect place for a night of fun with family and friends. Very close to Ocean City. Visit the website for a list of special events.

Security needs to learn how to speak to people. I'm coming here to spend money; then you get in my face, and act rude...sir, with your little 8 dollars an hour, back up. I've probably played more money than the guys weekly pay. read more

Very clean but small casino with several slots and a few gaming tables. We went on a Saturday evening and the table minimums increase to $15-$25 minimums. The slots are pretty tight and don't pay out. We were there several hours and no slots were hitting. It was pretty busy so you would like to think someone would hit even a small jackpot. The tables were the same. Very tight. The drinks tend to be on the expensive side. $5 for a small mixed drink full of ice and $8 for premium. Now it is a good way to spend a few hours in the evening once in awhile if you have money to burn. It's not Vegas so don't expect much. read more

Omg this is nothing like is use to be! They have really lost people and revenue due to the way the ownership and Maryland State have their hands in it. Do not put your money in a slot machine. It will just eat it. They have to make that money to pay these tables. It is the worst Casino I've ever walked into to try to play. There is no play. There is no bonuses. it's just a taking place clear Friday night. There must've been 300 people in there10 years ago, you couldn't even get on the machine read more

9/24/23 VONDA the "Manager" is terrible!!! I came today around 1 am WITHOUT an ID , just a pic on my phone of my ID, I asked the dude working that checks the ID If he'd let me in with a pic on my phone and he said NO. I asked him to ask his manager & she came and denied me entry & I understood. I went back to my hotel room to get my ID came back ... my ID was SCANNED by the dude working the front and was let in. Me, knowing I'd only have 30 mins left to enjoy the casino but I still wanted to come. I ordered my drink & put my money in a machine, having a good time all of a sudden this Vonda lady comes ASSUMING I got let in without having my ID, raising her voice at me telling me I was denied entry & that I shouldn't be here. I said excuse me? Had you ask me nicely for my ID I'd shown it to you. So she quickly calls security on me. So she thinks her front desk or whatever their position is called, that checks for ID's just let me in WITHOUT ID?!?!?!?!! I asked her this and She was SILENT after that!!! TERRIBLE !!!!!

It's certainly not Vegas, People. I don't know what people expect from a small city casino. The only table games have virtual dealers. There's also a machine controlled roulette table. It's the slots that draw all the seniors (not the college kind) out of their Ocean Pines senior living communities. First things first, there is plenty of parking, although it was December 1st, not July 1st when I visited. There are plenty of slot machines; mostly penny slots. My [senior] mother wanted to "just check" this place out. We came on our way to lunch. We signed up for their club card. We lost $20.00 each in under 30 minutes. I'm not sure if this was a special, but when we signed up they loaded our card with $10.00 to use if we came back the next day. You must play this; you can't cash it out. So, on our way home the next morning we popped in. We vowed to use just their money. We played the slots. I played a penny slot machine and won $45.00! I cashed that out quickly and still had $5.00 of their money, so I played another and won $42.00! I cashed that out too! My mom? She won $40.00 on an Elvis slot machine. Thank you Ocean Downs. Thank you very much. read more

The signs at door says you must be 21 to enter. This is not a place for children. No this is not a Las Vegas type casino!! Do not go to this casino if Las Vegas is your yardstick for comparison. (Yes, I have been to Vegas 3 times in last 6 year and Atlantic City once in last 2 years.) There are no scantily clad show girls, no entertainment or shows, only 2 eateries, no expensive shops, no adjoining hotel, and no slick costumed dealers. However, there is also no LA airfare and car rental, if you are from the east coast. I decided to spend my gaming money in my home state. The entire place is smoke free and handicap accessible per MD and federal law. There are lots of 1 cent slots and a variety of other denominations. High rollers should go to Vegas or Atlantic City, NY. For the $50-$75 I budget to gamble 3-6 times annually, this place is more than sufficient. The women's bathrooms were cleaner than in Vegas or Atlantic City!! The fish of the day was Wahoo (sandwich and fish & Chip) at the Dine N Dash joint for $9. The tables and dining area were also super clean and service friendly. I especially enjoyed that the entire place is smoke free. No smoke filtering in from the smoking area, not having to walk through smoke to get to the food area or bathroom. Thank U MD!! I expect our local entrepreneurs to complement this start-up with places very near by for entertainment & more eating choices. I lost $46. My partner won $140. We saved airfare, car rental, hotel and food cost. Came here and went home in 1 day. Thank U MD!! We are happy campers. read more
