Just back from 2-night stay at the Belterra Casino & Hotel in southern Indiana ... WON'T BE BACK !!!
Oh my gosh where do i start ... arrival started off good, we arrived at 4:30pm Monday and our room was suprisingly ready. We proceeded to our room on the 12th floor which was a non-smoking floor ... we exit the elevator and immedietely smell the stench of stale smoke and as we head down the hallway to find our room we pass an older gentleman walking down the hall carrying a lit cigarette !! so much for the non-smoking floor.
After we put our bags in the room we went to the players club ( My Choice ) and me and the DW got our players cards and off to the casino floor. First thing i try is a $1 WOF ... 8-spins and zilch ( wasn't surprised but just hoping to get a lucky hit to start things off ) my wife then played several penny machines at 30-40 lines x .01 and lost $60.00 like nothing ( less than an hour ) i found a .01 Rembrandt Riches and was playing max lines ( i think 30 ) X .01 and actually hit bonus a few times and played quite long on my $20.00. I then played several machines including Zeus, Kitty Glitter, Buffalo, Wicked Winnings and Wild Flurry ... i lost on all but Wild Flurry in which i turned $15 in to $60 TITO. My wife found a .01 slot called Kaleua and was doing quite well for over 2-hours and hit several bonus rounds that paid between $4-$23. She kept playing and lost it all after 3 hours ... not bad for $20 and 3hrs play.
OK .... now is where the bad happens .. i fall for the WOZ which they had 4 of them, burnt through $40.00 like nothing. Decided to try a $1 Double Diamonds and lost $100 over 40 minutes. Went and played Quick Hits .25 at MAX of 1.50/spin trying to hit a progressive and blew through $60.00 in no time with no Bonus games ! Went and found wife and she had lost $40 playing Cleopatra II, lost $20 playing Kitty Glitter and $20 playing Stink'n Rich.
We decide to take a break and get a sandwich .. grilled ham/cheese and fries for each of us and was $14.80 .. food sucked bad. Had me a couple beers at $3.25/each and then we headed back to play. I said " let's try the
.25 cent WOF .. bad mistake .. lost $30 in less than 20-minutes. Looked down the row and seen a .25 Top Dollar and put $20 in it .. hit bonus in 4 spins and was offered up to 80 and turned down for final offer of 30 .. figures. Ended up losing the $20 and decided to call it a night.
Tuesday we decided to leave the Casino and head to Subway for lunch, came back and started playing. I found a .01 slot called HOT HOT 777 or something to that effect, got bonus several times and even re-triggered bonus spins a couple. I had my $20 up to $74 at one time and kept playing till finall cashing out with $10. My wife continued losing $20's here and there on machines including Buffalo, Sizzling 7's, Sex In The City ( OMG there were people playing $6.00 a spin on this !!! ) We both tried several machines from .01 x 30 lines to .25x3 machines and could barely get any play time well alone hit anything.
In short we spent lots of money ! we had over 1900 points from the 2 days on our cards and i go to the casino host around 11:30am Wednesday ( today ) and ask if we could please get 2 lunch buffets comped ... to my amazement the guy says i have $10.05 in comps and my wife $6.40. We should have left but decided to try the lunch buffet at 12:15pm. cost before comps was $26.85 for 2 lunch buffets. OMG .. i am not very picky when it comes to food but this food was aweful, i honestly could not finish anything i tried and i tried fried chicken, mac&cheese, salad, pizza, flank steak and it all SUCKED bad, together me and DW didn't eat $5 worth of food .. it even had a bad appearence as if it were saved from the day before.
Overall our experience was aweful, bed was hard in room .. our room had a door that divided 2 rooms and we could here the ladies next to us talking like they were in our room. buffet was terrible and not even close to the $12.95 lunch and $17.95 dinner price.
And to wrap things up at check in the guy said he needed a credit card to hold a $100 deposit on ( which is normal ) at check out this morning i told same guy i was paying cash for the 2-nights and gave him $176.96 which was charge for the 2-nights ( $79/ night + $18.96 tax ) and .... i get home today and look at my online banking and it shows they deducted $276.96 from my account ... called and got the run around saying this was my deposit and would show back up by next Monday, i tried explaining the $100 should have been the deposit cause i paid the $176.96 cash for the room. She gets half smart and says " wait 5-days and call back if it's not refunded "
*** Belterra - won't be back ! Ohio where we live passed the casino issue and we will have a new casino in Cincinnatti in 2012 ( 40-minutes from Belterra ) i'd say boldly if these riverboats don't change their way lots of people will be headed to the new casino when it opens in Cincinnati
Meant for this to be a fun trip for me and DW to get away, we were together and had fun at times but overall we were very disappointed !:(
