Had fun. will return soon. Lots of slot machines & good food. I'm close to the house can't ask for more. Even came home with a little extra money. read more

The rooms are very nice and the casino is large with many eating options as well. I play slots and there are a lot of machines, big casino.

It's a casino, which is not our preference for a place to hang out, but friends took us out for some fun. It's the typical casino vibe, smoking, drinking and trying to drain your wallet, but they thankfully had an entrance just for the recreational side of things. Staff was great, very helpful and the food was good. We bowled for an hour and then drove the cars on the slick track. Price was reasonable and facilities quite good. Wanted to grab a coffee and had to walk through the smoke filled casino to get to it, which was unfortunate. Good place for what we did if you can avoid the casino spaces imo. read more

I've been coming here on and off for some years now. This place is very far from me, but what I like here is that either if we win or loose, we end up having a nice overall experience. The buffet serves very good selection of foods. You can see the many photos of the different selections. That alone makes coming here a drive well worth. Also, the table dealers remember your face and just that little touch of remembering who you are makes playing here a much better experience than some other casinos. Most of the time when I come here, I always find room to play. But if you come here on a Friday or Saturday, this place can become very busy and it makes finding a game to play slightly difficult. As you can see from my photos, I have had some good luck playing here. Of course, I had my share of going home with no luck. But I feel as if my luck is slightly better here than other casinos more closer to me. read more

Red Hawk Resort + Casino - This is what I call the 2k dessert special... - Casinos Near Me - Placerville, California

They have a grand entrance near the hotel part of the resort. We didn't see it from the outside when we drove in, maybe because we followed the self park area instead of the valet arrow/direction. We saw it from the inside as we moseyed over to the hotel part looking for the Buffett. There was a waterfall to complete its grandness. Exit Red Hawk Parkway off the 50 and you enter directly into the resort. They have an easy to follow sign to Valet Parking and Self Parking. We choose to Self Park, no the way out we read a big sign that Valet parking is free. That would have been go to know at entering the resort. We parked on the 5th level and took the elevator down to the casino. We came for the buffet but, didn't see any signs that led you directly there. Walking around we ended up at the hotel portion of the resort. It's off to the side and has a long hallway there that isn't cramped with slot machines or table games. The lady at the front desk pulled out a map and showed us where the escalator was to the buffet and other restaurants. (See the Buffett page for a full review) After our buffet we wandered around the casino and found some table games that were for non-smokers. That was a perk for those that don't want to be consumed by people smoking. There were people smoking throughout the Casino and we had the misfortune of walking behind two of them as we were exiting the casino. One thing I was really surprised about it they have Pepsi Machines all over the casino and they are self serve. You can drink as much as you want for free. What a deal. They don't have cranberry or orange juice like they have in the buffet, but they have soda. They also have coffee and hot water. They have both reg and decaf coffee for the taking. I saw this cool machine that dispenses cream , blue sweetener, and sugar. They didn't have this machine in the buffet area. I saw a lot of people carrying around prizes and a prize distribution center. I don't know how you can get prizes, but one man was carrying around a garden hose and my husband commented on how useful that would be for us. I read up on it and you have to be a rewards member to get prizes. I was surprised my husband didn't sign up for their rewards program, he seems to sign up at every casino we go to. On the other hand we didn't do any gambling on this trip. Not even a single quarter in a slit machine. I don't belive the machines take cash anymore or give out cash. I believe it's now all on your card. Thus there is no spontaneity as you walk by a machine. My dad used to be one of those spontaneous people that would walk by after dinner and put in a few bills. He never won anything, but the tried. Before we left we checked out the apex. It's a neat place. They have their own food court, lots of games for the kids or the kid in you, and a sports bar. read more

Back again at one of my favourite stops. I guess timing is everything,, since I came when it wasn't extremely busy, my food actually arrived very hot, exactly the way I like it, lol it even came with a orange wedge for garnish, wow! I do hate lukewarm food, the chicken fried steak actually came out pretty decent this time, it was not crunchy snd dried out like the last time, the potatoes, well they looked and tasted like they were done earlier in the day, they were sad.. I've gotta time it so I don't come when they're real busy, the food comes out much hotter. Another great meal here. read more

We like Redhawk better than the other casinos in the area. The area is pretty and it seems like we have had better odds there than other casinos. Seems like we get to play awhile even if we don't win big. The buffet is ok..and nice for a big group as everyone gets to eat what they want..but recently it doesn't seem as good as in the past. It's a buffet.. so it is what it is.. the views of the mountains out the window are stunning. read more

WARNING ** DO NOT COME HERE . I'm a gambler I know that you do not win all the time , but RED HAWK hands down , Hands down Worst odds on slots I ever ever have had , to the point that it's my last time going there . They have odds like Harrahs or like a cruise ship . And my whole family lost , bonus rounds were like 10x , max . Try Jackson Thunder or Sky River , Red Hawk used to pay out but it's horrible now . You lost a customer . Good riddance . And this isn't right after I lost , I waited some days before my rant . read more

Another great time at the Hawk! Not as much wining this time but enough to have a great time with the wife. Cindy checked us in she is always great and the rest of the staff was pleasant. read more

Not much going on at Red Hawk for me as far as benefits or rewards for my return on the Slot machines but I came this week to make my picks on the kiosk for the weekly football picks. It's one free game called Pick em for a grand prize of $55,000, but you'd probably have to guess the winner of every game correctly. Another reason to venture out to Red Hawk is the Apex, on the opposite side of the casino, for the Apex grill if you're hungry, or video games, golf, and goal cart rides. This is the side that you can bring your entire family (children). Children can also go into the Koto Buffet on the casino side, on the 7 the floor. read more

5/17/2025: Welp~My First-Born Daughter and YELP! Friend coerced me into participating in another Koto Buffet Inhalation Session, lol! May the food vacuum inhalation session begin--I'm "here for the food" as per the sister, Jacqueline's quote from the movie, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" since, I don't gamble . . . https://youtu.be/p1lc2RkFsYQ?feature=shared Um, anyway--aside and upon entering the Koto Buffet, my "food-prone/laser focused" eyes honed in on the milk chocolate Cinderella slippers--waaaah!!!!! I wanted to eat the milk chocolate Cinderella slippers--ONLY THAT AND NOTHING ELSE for LUNCH despite, the lunch costing $40.00 per person until, 4:00 PM then, after 4:00 PM, the dinner costs escalates to $59.00 per person~LOL! This lunch inhalation session comprised literally GRAZING every food station Koto Buffet possesses insuring consuming $40.00 worth of food, i.e., the PRIME RIB had my name plastered all over the entire slab of prime rib! Overall, I'm elated Koto Buffet isn't far from my humble abode; however and surely, the incessant grazing will surely add pounds to my hips and thighs--LOL! Moreover, NEXT KOTO BUFFET PLOTTING INHALATION SESSION, my First-Born Daughter has decided plotting zooming around APEX FIRST before participating the Koto Buffet Inhalation Session . . . Why? Oh--it's because the racing cars zooming by appears quite AWESOME: APEX'S interior possesses a "TRON" movie incorporated, interior design! Therefore, we're going to ride APEX next visit fo' sho'! LOL! read more

Red hawk is actually pretty nice! They offer nice restaurants to dine and even the new arcade area has so much to do, if you're not a gambler. The casino area is always loud and Smokey as you can imagine. The arcade area is super fun to go with your kids or even friends to have cocktails and play games. They even have go cart racing( I'm pretty sure that's what it's called lol). We enjoyed the restaurant, fine dinging Henry's. Super cute place for a date night. read more

The rating on this page is absolutely not reflective of the property or the experience you can expect come here. I'm actually kind of shocked but then again I feel like people often forget to leave great reviews about the more simple things in life like hotel rooms. Each floor of this hotel has a lovely landing lobby. That is cozy and comfortable. Great for meeting up with your group if you're together or just lounging waiting for departure times or a group to get together. The sixth floor landing lobby is amazing with huge floor ceiling windows that look out over the mountains. Hot tip from the security guard on the third floor who directed me up there because it made for a great place to get a little bit of work done before starting the day. The hotel lobby is stunning again with Florida ceiling windows that block out the residential below and only leave a sideline to the lush Green hillside and mountains that surround this property. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment you pull up to the valet drive all the way into your room, and that extends into the casino and all the other outlets throughout the property. The rooms are modern luxurious and spacious for about $200 a night in the shoulder season and I'd say well worth it. I did not use the casino, but I did visit Apex and utilized the kid quest and fun quest arcades too all of which were well kept with friendly staff and great amenities. I'm hoping I can find the kid quest page because this service alone deserves to be five stars. Will I come back to this hotel? While I've already told about 15 other families in Reno about it who had no idea existed as a premier getaway opportunity, so yeah, we'll be back. read more

Worth the drive? I think so.. This was our first time at this casino/resort. We were in town visiting family and one thing about us is we will travel for a casino lmao! Parking was a breeze, it was actually pretty empty for being a sunday. We got our players card. However, unlike most casinos red hawk does not give you anything for being a first time card holder. The casino floor was clean, plenty of staff walking around to take drink orders and pick up trash. They do allow smoking throughout so that was my downside, but perk for the smokers. They have drink stations for you to do self service which was loved! It makes it so much easier and more convenient to get refreshments. Overall, we had a really good time. Won some money, played some fun machines, explored their arcade game area and went home happy. read more

This Yelp page needs to be split into two: one for hotel reviews and one for casino reviews. This review is a hotel review. We did not go to the casino. We stayed one overnight on a weekend in September 2025 and got two connecting rooms. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We needed room service once and they were quick to send someone up. There is a pool and fitness area as well (we didn't do that). Each room came with a fridge but no microwave. Valet is complimentary, should you wish to use it. My biggest two complaints are that there is no continental breakfast and parking is a 15 minute walk away through the casino (which is surely deliberate). Overall, not a bad place, and one of the overnight places in the area that accepts children, which was non-negotiable for us. read more

Comps here are pretty amazing, I get $250 per week for a month, that's $1000 per month. And I barely visit. The points just rack up here. I also have an amazing host Michelle, she's super awesome.

What started out as an amazing night quickly turned into a wouldn't recommend staying if you expect friendly staff at the hotel. After gambling literally almost non stop all night, I called the front desk for a late check out 12 noon opposed to 11 and Scott wasn't friendly about saying no. It's often how you say it not what you say. After expressing my disappointment he followed up with sarcasm and laughter saying stay dry out there as it was a rainy day. All I know is the hard rock, the Palomar, mgm resort has never treated us like that. SMH shameful read more

I like the free soda and coffee. I didn't like the roulette, there was no ball. There were magnets (a magnet would flip up) but it was hard to read the numbers. This took the excitement out of it so I played a couple times and then I cashed my chips in and moved on. The slots are pretty good. The food is fine. We didn't stay long, mostly because it's too bright in there. It feels like there's these really bright white fluorescent lights turned up pretty high so it just didn't seem like a fun evening environment. read more

I have been coming to red Hawk for at least 15 to 16 years and have really noticed a decline in having fun there. It used to be that your money would last a little while, But now you can go up there with $1000, and you will lose it very quickly with no bonuses on the machines and genuinely just not fun. I also noticed that the employees don't seem to be as friendly as they used to be. They are downright frosty. I had an interaction with a guy working in the high limit cashier cage that was weird. He never looked at me and he never smiled and I don't want people to act like Stepford people but don't be frosty cold and act like you're doing me a favor. I always preferred to drive up to this casino but not anymore. During my last visit I was pretty frustrated with how quickly I kept losing money and I know it's gambling.... I'm not an idiot, but at least keep people playing for a little while....not happening anymore. I am done with red Hawk. At one point I was at the highest tier of their rewards system and they have now lost me as a customer. I was waiting for the follow-up email with the survey I usually get to provide this feedback directly to management, but I never received it. So I am resorting to posting a review. Keep it up Red Hawk and more people will stop coming to visit. Edit to add: Tara the Bot responded within SECONDS to my review with a long response that could not have been performed by a human. Please quit denying that you are an AI Bot!! This is insane! I just hope that my feedback reaches the right people read more

Red Hawk Resort + Casino - Comfort - Casinos Near Me - Placerville, California

We hit town on a party bus we had lots of fun and laughs on the way there. Upon our arrival, one of the nice employees who greeted us in the lobby offered to take a picture she recommended standing by the waterfall. We checked in and were given our Red Hawk Casino cards with a value of $15 to start our gambling. The go carts were definitely an attraction and were fun to ride, although the ride could have been a few minutes longer. We were hungry and wanted to try the buffet, unfortunately it didn't open until 4p, it was high noon. The bowling alley had lots of excitement with plenty of people. We hung out here as we laughed relentlessly until it was time to go. The time went by so fast, I have to return maybe even grab a room at the hotel connected to the casino. The security guard showed me how to get started with my casino card, he was delighted to do it. The staff were exceptional and very helpful, I enjoyed my day here. The free beverage bar I went to twice, it was so convenient. All good things must come to an end. The views were amazing! LoveRed Hawk read more

Very clean and modern casino. Lots of dining options. Lots of gaming options and a variety of other entertainment options. Pretty lively on a Saturday night. The free beverage bar is a nice touch. My only complaint would be the amount of smoke. I've been to many casinos before and this one had a very smoky interior that hits you as soon as you walk in. Perhaps they can upgrade their filtration/circulation system. read more

DO NOT PLAY RIGGED ROULETTE! We all know the casinos cheat, and the benefit is to the casino and not the consumer. With that being said, cheating is not acceptable. I reported Red Hawk Casino in Placerville Ca for roulette rigging. Recently, the Red Hawk casino "banned" video, so I was unable to provide a current video - but the roulette table is rigged and they are 100% cheating. I have played with one of their machines for years. It has become controlled now. You (anyone) can clearly see on the automated machine when the magnet pulls the ball into a hole/slot, it's incredibly obvious to the natural eye, even without the video footage slowing down the scam. In plain terms, it "sucks it" into a spot, without question. The machine is located in the back right of the casino, near their back bar and mainstage near their craps machines. I have been going to this casino for years, and have noted this recent change in the last month... has gotten WORSE. It is painfully obvious, and it's cheating. You can't ignore this obvious blatant violation. Even someone who can be fooled easily, would not be fooled by this. It is so blatantly obvious, I must repeat, that you must think people are dumber than dirt. UPDATE 12/14 Since I reported the casino to the gaming commission and this review, I went back to the casino to see what the roulette table was doing. It was 100% obvious that the magnets were indeed turned OFF at this time. The board was functioning properly and it had completely changed since the last time I was there. This reflects that they have the ability to turn on and off the controls for this machine. They probably turn them off when the inspector comes or remove their equipment. It was definitely a significant change - the ball was not being pulled with what looked like guidance and control. I would still caution this casino. I will post further updates after I reevaluate again in another week. I still think it's absolutely incredible that they have this ability. I also did some research online and saw videos of how easy it is to control roulette tables with a magnetic ball. Don't be fooled. Pay attention to what the board is doing before you bet. Update 12/27 The rigged roulette is "out of service". These machines often go out of service when they are being examined by the gaming commission. This one is clearly not following protocol and has been flagged for cheating. In addition, their other roulette is also flagged. Do not play roulette at this casino they lie, cheap and their machines are rigged. read more

Came here to take the family indoor Go-Kart racing & bowling at Apex. I don't gamble so I'm varying rarely at any of the casinos in the Sacramento area. Unless I'm at one of the restaurants, and or at the pool during the summer. Not a fan of smoking so the smell of fresh & stale cigarettes in the casinos is enough to make me want to avoid that area as much as possible. Trip was short lived at the wait to get onto the Go-Kart track was 2 hrs, and it was even longer to get onto a bowling lane. They don't really take reservations unless it for parties, so the opportunity to actually race or bowl may not be possible unless you want to wait a few hours. We didn't however come on a Saturday evening, so maybe we'll try earlier during the day to see if things are any different. read more

Came here to Koto on a Saturday before Father's Day. You need to call for a reservation for 5 or more. 4 or less can be booked online. Walkins are welcomed but it'll be hard if it's packed. Lobster was okay but I prefer the steamed crab legs. I mainly had lobsters and crab legs. I was full after the second round. They have pepper dip so you don't need to bring your own! Played on 4 machines. Made money on two and lost money on two. Overall, I came home with money so that is always good. Just a little upset I spent $300 chasing on the last machine and nothing hit. Ugh!! Stupid buffalo machine. Lmao Don't really have any interaction with employees except at the buffet. We had the bus boys grab us beers. You do need to pay ahead but they were nice. read more

Came here for several hours for my coworker's birthday. The room we hung out in was very clean, and fairly spacious. The casino floor itself was also nice. While I was there I didn't get too many whiffs of smoke, and the machines and such were well kept. I was particularly impressed with the Apex, which had go-karting, bowling, and golf. I didn't have time to actually do any of those activities, but plan to come back soon to stay the night and do so. I'm not a huge gambler but love the environment (minus the smoke), so having all of these options in the same building is a game changer. read more

Honestly, I've always told my husband "red hawk has the vibes" until the other night man.. I go and spend MONEY REGULARLY I'm not saying I can't afford it but at least be respectful, a bartender y the name of "Deborah" look you might be close to retiring but on the real side of whatever you're going through please stop bringing it work girl lol cause. All I did was be courteous to the person IN FRONT OF ME. As Deborah approached us to as who was next as I signaled the person in front of me Deborah was like "ok LETTTTSSS GO HURRY" like girl lmao chill out ?? If you didn't have time why ask the order ??? The Fff , iv lost too much money for this bartender to talk to me as she pleases .. I hope she does well regardless, btw Deb clean ya act up people spend real money read more

The best thing about redhawk is the amount of things it has for kids for people who can't find babysitters. The apex area is a great attraction. The hotel room is very nice as well . The casino floor looks big but it's just because the have mirrors in the walls . I love that they have free refreshments around the casino . My only issue wasn't even with the casino itself , it was with other people . I've been to a few casinos but this one by far has the most rude people just walking in front of you , stopping in the middle of the floor in front of everyone . It's like these people weren't raised with manners . read more

Okay, red hawk gets updated to a 5! No I didn't win a jackpot. Casino wise, it is a lot like every other casino, again the beverage stations and bathrooms everywhere are fantastic! As are the free gifts I keep getting on the weekends without gambling. The extra star is for the hotel! Mom scored her free night and used it. I went the day before to make myself feel better as she was going to be alone. Mom has mobility issues and I worry about her traveling alone. The valet service and all of the customer service were top notch. Mom didn't have to park or carry luggage or anything. She said she felt like royalty. 5 stars for keeping mom safe and making her feel comfortable and important! read more

Craps is $5 dollars so bring alot of the local clientele and cheap clientele there. Still no Poker room, but they are working on one.

Came here Saturday night and all the chargers were full, except on level 1 behind a gate. I went to the front desk and asked if I can charger at level 1 for a few hours- they said those chargers are reserved for VIP only. As far as I know, the chargers were not used for the entire time I was there. This property is pretty far out of nowhere - they should accommodate a simple charging request by a guest. Even for a couple of hours, I would have been happy. Slots were tight and they pay less than $10 after bonuses- no I wasn't betting the minimum. For the same bet, I would win 300+ elsewhere. I've didn't see any handpay through the day but seen at least 3+ handpays at other casinos in the area on a Saturday night. read more
