The short version

What visitors say about Jamul Casino Resort

At Jamul, the staff get the credit. Reviewers thank valet attendants, security guards, guest services and dealers by name, and even one player who calls the place a losing proposition says the workers are the reason to go. Hotel guests like the rooms and the views of the hills, with cattle grazing in the distance, plus drinks at the rooftop pool bar.

The seafood buffet splits opinion. One couple said the lobster was worth the trip, while a birthday party that paid premium prices at J23 felt shortchanged on both the food and the service. On the floor, people describe heavy smoke and noise, heat in the summer months, and slots that rarely pay much. A couple of reviewers also felt pressured for tips.

Written from about 20 recent Google reviews, Google's most relevant and its lowest rated, read in September 2026. Places change, so take it as a guide rather than the last word.

My wife and I came here for a quick getaway. Staff is very friendly and helpful. As we arrived they were opening doors for us, that’s what I’m talking about!

I've been here a few times, after 1am they start moving people around for what I assume is to collect the money from the machines. I haven't been lucky at all here. But overall it's cool little spot. The food is decent and reasonably priced.

You don’t really win much at this casino

The jacks pots are low when you are able to get the game to give you one, but it takes a long time way more than you actually win and you definitely don’t win much after 10 PM

The staff are extremely rude. They walk around in front of you and doesn’t stop for you when you’re…

Being an Onyx card holder I am very disappointed at the way I've been treated by my so called host who obviously doesn't like me and isn't afraid to show it. I recently lost my wallet and had a hotel stay booked so I texted my so called VIP host Thristian Wilson to see if he could help me out and he tells me no and…

– Birthday Disappointment

​I came to Jamul Casino to celebrate my 28th birthday and brought my entire family to sign up for their Sweetwater Rewards cards for the first time. We were excited to make this our new "home" casino, but the J23 VVIP Endless Dining was a massive letdown.

​For $79.95 per person, the…

I am a regular at this casino, as it is only a ten-minute commute from my home. However, lately, I have grown increasingly displeased with the elaborate schemes they devise solely to extract extra tips from their patrons. Every weekend and

Response from the owner

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a regular guest—we truly appreciate your continued support. We’re sorry to hear about your recent frustrations and understand how the changes to the beverage service may feel inconvenient, especially during our busiest times. To help manage the increased traffic on weekends and holidays, the beverage station is occasionally transitioned to a staffed service area. This approach is intended to keep the space clean, organized, and running efficiently for all guests, as high volume can quickly lead to congestion and spills in a self-service setup. That said, we understand this may result in longer wait times and a different experience than what you’re used to. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we will be sure to share it with our team as we continue to evaluate ways to improve both convenience and overall guest satisfaction. We truly appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention and hope to provide a smoother experience on your next visit.

To beat the heat on a day we had child care, we reserved a room with the casino's Stay, Sip, and Savor package which bundles a room, pool cabana, food and drink. That was three weeks before, and we were very impressed when the hotel
