The short version

What visitors say about Presque Isle Downs & Casino

Presque Isle Downs, the racetrack casino in Erie, has a loyal local following, and regulars like that it stays clean and still keeps some older slot machines around. Race fans come for the live racing too. Travelers in motorhomes find the lot big and easy to turn around in, though semi trucks are not allowed to park. A group that spent an evening at roulette, craps and blackjack praised the dealers for keeping games moving.

The age of the place cuts both ways. Critics describe a dated room full of machines other casinos have retired, and a steady run of reviews calls the slots tight. Staffing is thin: guests mention a single bar open on busy days and long waits for help at a machine. Most of the floor allows smoking. Food upstairs, the steakhouse included, draws complaints about overcooked dishes and bland frozen burgers.

    We stopped by this Casino on our way to Cleveland. A very old and run down casino. A mix of both table and slots available. The staff was not the friendliest to Canadian visitors. The guest service/cashier line took forever as they appear to be understaffed. We still won at the end of the day.
