We usually stop at this casino after our family reunion up in Boyne city. It is nicely located in the Petoskey area. The service and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. They have enough variety and slots and also some video poker seats next to the bar. I like this casino for its laid-back atmosphere and good service. We will return again when in the area. read more

Dean was a fun very nice deal and the guy before him was awesome too, even gave a Curtis bet when a dollar short on the roulette table and let us bet with 4. Paul was a complete dick head my grandma had 10 accidentally played 6 then was so rude about the curtesy bet that dean was so nice to give. I understand rules but I don't get the rude attitude and lack of wanting to help. Guy is d bag and should be replaced on table read more

I always enjoy the Odawa casino! It is much smaller than the average casino, but that is fine with me. The service is always nice. They also have great drink specials during games and weekends! read more

Odawa Casino - Casinos Near Me - Petoskey, Michigan

Nice place. Clean and spacious. Good food options. Friendly staff. Free shuttle from local hotels a big plus.

Smoke free wide open spaces friendly and I was only there once or twice and didn't spend a whole lot and I received coupons in the mail for free food flea play and really reduced rates on hotel in video poker show place. I found a 69 pay table machines and it seems like most of them are that lately all I've been fine is four fives read more

Evonne is wonderful at the victories club at odawa Casino. She is so fast and efficient. Super into her patrons! Give her a raise.

The owners of this casino refuses to pay for the work done on their building even after the second time was free. They took advantage of us working class in order to better themselves and then don't pay for it. I guess this is their way of taking it out on the white man. Shame on you Odawa! I wouldn't spend a penny on your slot machines. read more

Just got done eating at the deli. Food is overpriced and dried out! I ordered a hamburger. It comes without condiments. (They don't tell you that). When I asked for condiments you would have thought I was asking the girl for her first born child! A little friendliness goes a long way. You won't find it from the staff at Odawa! I went to the bar to order a drink. The woman behind the bar was reading a book with her back turned to the bar. After waiting I said "excuse me". She turned around and was annoyed. This is unacceptable! I won't be rushing back! read more

Somewhat disappointed with the casino they only had a small coffee shop. There was no restaurant open. They didn't have any stations for water or soda which I've seen at so many other casinos and the entire time I was there I don't recall anyone having a large payout on any of the slot machines could've just been an off day, but I made a long drive for that place read more

if your at a rock concert aka "Warrent" why is it a crime to get up and rock. they acted like we were in a nazi camp. "Get in your seat and sit down" security told anyone who got out of their seat. But yet, those same security people got out their cell phones and stood at the same roped off areas and took video and pictures of the rock band. Professionalism at its finest. Also when you paid for tickets, there were 40 dollar and 30 dollar tickets available. When you went in line, tickets wouldn't scan, so why did I spend 40 dollars for 4 people where it made no difference where we sat at. This blows my mind. I am a rational person, if any of this can be explained, I'm all ears, please explain. Was this what the band " Warrent" wanted, for everyone to remain in their seats, or was this a casino rule, which they've never done before. I'm dying to know. read more

This small town casino had great customer service from the person checking IDs to the bartenders and concession attendants. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming. The ventilation here wasn't too bad although the cigarette smoke in some parts of the casino were more noticeable than in others. They had a $2 cocktail special for one of their house vodkas which we took advantage of, and the food at the Copper restaurant was also priced fairly priced. We aren't big gamblers, but enjoyed watching sports at their bar and playing some cheap slots. They had a live entertainment area, high rollers/poker room, and a sports book area as well. read more

'Ello chaps! Are ya feeling lucky?! Odawa Casino is a casino and resort located (for all intents and purposes) in Petoskey, Michigan. It's owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. It's been around for a few years, about 2007. They have a large gaming floor with a mix of computerized slots, blackjack, etc. They have a players club program, where you can earn points for the more you pay and play. They have games that range from penny slots to high roller games. You do have to be 19 years of age to gamble inside the casino. In addition to the game floor, they have several clubs and lounges and a large buffet restaurant. Drinks are cheap, but good - and soda is made available for free, with self-serve soda machines (excuse me, we're in Michigan, it's "pop") throughout the gaming floor area. The air inside Odawa is much cleaner compared to other casinos where the cigarette smoke is much thicker. read more

I'm really not sure what anyone was thinking by allowing your Sag hostess to wear a top like she did last night. But my husband got an eyeful, bras and i'm guessing panties are required, going bra-less is very noticeable, not sure who was checking uniforms prior to opening. i realize labor and hiring might be an issue during our trying times, one should never take their eyes off the end game. other than this minor issue service was fantastic as always, food was also very good. thanks Annalisa read more

Operationally, this place seems to be doing a much better job with the table games. Have had much better experiences in my return visits since my original review. The dealers are all generally pleasant and do a good job to make the place fun, even if you're not doing so hot. We enjoy coming here and the size of the place really gives it a homey atmosphere. It's clean, updated, and generally just a fun place to gamble. read more

Casino was decent, the food is good, and the beer is cheap. I have to give 3 stars because the bartender that was on the night we where there obviously had better things to do then to tend to his customers. We had to wait 10+ minutes to get a beer. He looked sy us multiple times obviously not doing anything and just completely ignored us. And on top of it cocky and ignorant. read more

Truly we did love coming to sage but our last experience will never bring us back! The food is not what it use to be, the quality of the steaks is terrible. The menu is not even appealing, not sure why they call it a steak house. Our steaks were so tough and grissly. The menu looks like someone has cut corners on costs. Will never be back read more

The Odawa Casino in Petoskey has a great Food buffet to choose from Chicken to Veggies, including Desserts. Their Slot Machines has everything between 1c to 50c, and there's no telling what machine you'll be able to win big. So in conclusion, I give Odawa Casino 4 Stars. read more

every machine in the place sticks. you have to press buttons multiple times. my husband sat down at a machine. maximum bet is automatically on the screen. he tried to change the bet but the machine wouldn't let him. he tried to cash out, but that button wouldn't work either. he hit the yes button hard and accidentally cracked the plastic. they made us feel like criminals by calling the police. we ended up giving them 1300 for repairs for a machine that should have been fixed to begin with. don't go to this casino! read more

Nobody seemed to win anything. Tables were supposed to close at 3, they closed at 155. Ordered food to go. Fries were hot. Hotdogs were just below room temperature. read more

This place has always been hit or miss with me, and mostly miss. While some of the staff is as friendly has you could ever want, most act as if I don't exist. It takes a very long time to get a drink at the circle bar, and most dealers are between silent and down right rude. I always feel as if the dealers and pit bosses think I am cheating. Not very welcoming. The slots are some of the tightest I have ever played. I lose my money so fast, I usually just end up leaving before I play all the money I brought with me to entertain myself. Funny how this works. If the machines would just let me play a little bit, I would end up staying longer, and the casino would make more money off of me. They miss this point badly here. The hotel rooms I have stayed in are generally clean, but the smell of cigarettes hangs in the air. I really enjoy the Sunday brunch buffet, but this could use improvement. Only one type of bread is typically available for toast, for example, and it is usually stale. The egg station depends on who is cooking, some are better than others. They have a nice pizza oven, but it seems empty most of the time and last night's pizza is put out. The handful of really nice staffers is what keeps me from rating this a one-star. I'll keep going to the Sunday brunch from time to time, but I have played my last table game or slot machine here. read more

Love that each time I stop here, they have new machines. Hate that the machines never really pay out. Bartenders in the center bar are slow. Drink service on the floor is almost non-existent. Clean bathrooms though! read more

I remember when slot machines used to let you play for awhile before it took your money. My wife and I were down $100 after playing for about 12 minutes. Doubt we will be back. If you sign up for their players card you will earn a nice dessert. It was very good but not worth $100 dollars. Otherwise a nice looking casino, not very big but nice. read more

Worst of all casinos I have been to. No social distancing, few sanitizer stations, bathrooms are dirty, machines are not spaced out or shut off to prevent distancing, a complete disappointment. I expected safer measures like 99% of the casinos, NOT this one. Also tight machines! read more

Updated Jan 2018 Went to the casino for New Years and was quite disappointed in how much it was for the buffet $25 pp and the food was not very good at all. In years past, they had entertainment for New Years (bands, impersonators, etc) they had a DJ in middle of casino and it just wasn't as much fun-in fact we ended up leaving before midnight. The entertainment as far as concerts, comedians etc has really went down in the last few years too. Great casino to gamble at =) The Waas no de buffet inside the casino is so good-(go on Saturday Night they have prime rib and it is less than $20 for an adult) the fish is also highly recommended and desserts are amazing! There is a nightclub called the O-Zone that some of the 21+ crowd hangs out at. I have personally been to a couple of the concerts that the Casino has held and they were great =D read more

I can say this after playing here for a summer...this place is terrible. The food is good but that's about it. Very restrictive table game hours, impossible odds and honestly this is the single most depressing place to be in the overall paradise that is petoskey read more

Used to love to come here for their buffet. They had a Great buffet till they closed it down and made some other restaurants into that location. I miss the buffet that was a good buffet. read more

Stay away. Awful casino. Will never go back. Rude servers. Very smoky. I would much rather go to Soaring Eagle In Mt. Pleasant.

The service all over the casino is amazing! So Friendly! The buffet has really good food, not just buffet good but really good good! So many choices! We always have a good time here! We do a lot of casinos and this is a favorite of ours! Plus they hand out good coupons to players even if you don't gamble that much! Go here for brunch on Sundays too!! Wow!! Always perfect after a night out on Saturday night! read more

We came to the Odawa Casino due to their NYE party they were hosting. My husband and his friend were hired as impersonators for the night. We went to the casino the day before the gig to check the place out. Just a note you only have to be 19 to enter the casino. Our group was in our late 20's/early 30's and we were not carded for admission. A very pretty building with ample parking and a shuttle service. Lots of stone work and colorful lights. They did a great job advertising the NYE party as well. The inside is nice and spacious, not overwhelming huge to where you get lost, but still large enough to where you don't feel like you are in one big room. There was a gift shop, coat check, buffet area, quick place to order sandwiches and other food items, restaurant within the casino, two bars for over 21 (the one is in the middle of the gaming floor and not roped off and the other is across the buffet area and seemed like a club like atmosphere with a rope off and a bouncer manning the entrance), high rollers areas, and a banquet room. They also had a station to get pop/water. Overall lots of amenities and the obvious slot machines were everywhere. The day before the NYE gig (12/30) was not packed at all, it was very easy to walk around the gaming floor and not see anyone. We went to the middle bar area and asked the staff to put on a college basketball game and they were more than accommodating with putting it on. The drink prices as well were fair and cheaper than most (especially coming from the Metro Detroit area). The next day we went was for the NYE party/gig. Like I said before they decorated for the occasion and the place had stars as the party was called, A Night with the Stars. The casino was very packed with people everywhere, I think I heard from one of the workers that this is one of their busiest nights and I can see why. The casino did a nice job from the VIP dinner they put on for the night as well as the all night long entertainment with a live band. The casino passed out fun NYE hats and whistles to ring in the new year. From what my husband and friend told me the staff in regards to being a part of the entertainment, they were great to them and accommodating. In regards to winnings - our one friend got over $100 in a slot machine, so that was a nice plus! We also got food from the sandwich shop area after the gig (it was around 1:00am by this time). The place was still rocking and a line for ordering. We decided on pre-made sandwiches which were not bad and filled us up. The buffet after midnight then switches to breakfast. The only bad thing I noticed was that the hotel wasn't connected to the casino. They are quite far away from one another and not even within walking distance. Hopefully soon they will build a new casino that is connected? A pro was that both nights I was there I didn't smell like an ash tray. read more

It's a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. I'm only giving 3 stars because I didn't win that much. I dropped 100 bucks. I spent a few hours there and I was entertained. If I would have won the big one I would have given this place 5 stars. The Bar in the center of the Casino is amazing with friendly Bartenders. In a nutshell, your not going to get rich but it's worth a visit. read more

This casino is fantastic. Very clean with great air filters so I was not breathing smoke all night. The friendliest staff I have ever come across at a casino and a fantastic buffet!! I highly recommend read more

I have never been so happy inside of a buffet in my life I will bring my grandkids here someday. SLAPPED ON ANOTHER LEVEL. the food was cooked to perfection and the desert some on some next level SH*T!!!! read more

$20.00 buffet meh, clean and friendly gaming area, free parking, smoke filled.

Let's start off with this. The hotel and casino are about a mile away, so my advice would be be to find a cheaper hotel. The casino shuttles go to all the hotels Secondly, do not get the dinner buffet! It's honestly the worst buffet that I and the 5 others in my group have ever had! The ONLY reason I give it two stars is cause the few black jack dealers I played with were very pleasant and the rest of the staff was awesome ! The continental breakfast at the hotel is almost as bad as the dinner buffet. read more

The very worst possible customer service nightmare from start to finish. Had a significant billing error. Hotel staff were rude, unapologetic and actually threw my bill down when I asked to speak to Assistant Manager. Issue still not resolved. Initially, the Manager called me back and was apologetic and very nice however when the following day my account still didn't reflect the credits he argued with me, was rude, cut me short, sighed and provided me with terrible customer service. I now see why his staff treated me the way they did....employees are only as good as the leader. I would recommend NEVER to stay there. Actually, I will never set foot in the casino or resort. DAY 6...issue still not resolved! read more

We ate at the Buffet Friday January 3 2020 We were the 2nd people in and the food was COLD!! mashed potato's the butter wouldn't even melt!! Some of the vegies were ice cold. This use to be the best!! Bragged about it all the time. The last few times we've been there this is what we've gotten. Someones going to get sick read more

Even though I rarely win when I go here, I enjoy it because the slots are fun and the staff is very friendly.

like the casino and the hotel is nice with friendly staff. I visit there whenever I am up North. However I got e-mail notice of a presale for a concert (because I was an awards member) I would have loved to have attended. When I called the box office, I was told, I had to come to the box office to get them. I stated I lived over 3 hours away and it was a long trip just to get tickets. The attitude was "Oh Well" So I didn't attend the concert, stay at the hotel. eat at the restaurant or gamble. What a way to treat a loyal customer. They shouldn't make such an offer if it is difficult for a person to take advantage of it. read more

This is where ol KM spends his checks and lemme tell you chico, this is where the action is at! I give it 3 out of 5 stars because they need moer juggalettes and sexy pawnkx working here! great buffet too! read more

Hubby and I had a great time. Smoking is allowed at the tables but the majority of smokers were considerate and asked if they could light up. Buffet was good. Clean. Very friendly and hospitable staff. I would go again for sure. read more
