I decided to try for the poker rate and lost a lot of money before I qualified, but then saved about $70 on the room which was only $25 using the poker rate. Nice large room. It faced the inner courtyard, so I look down on the movie theater markee. I also could hear a light sound of the courtyard music, but it did not bother my sleeping.
The casino was interesting. There was a display of Indian heritage items and live aligators in small ponds inside the casino with shows given occasionally. I was a bit shocked while taking pictures of what I thought were stuffed aligators only to have them scurry off.
The first part of my poker play at 4-8 limit faced some raises and reraises and very poor flops so my money went quickly. The other sessions players were more restrained.
Around the table were some wonderful Cajun accents and I enjoyed the people. Dealers too were fiendly.
I don't know how one would access this casino without a car. The train that goes from New Orleans to Lake Charles does not pass close to here and there are no buses that anyone could tell me would get me there. Most of the players were locals.
In the room were free granola bars and bottled water and chips. Sure beats those casinos in Vegas like the Red Rock where just examining these things cost us money.
I'd go back and play again, but I doubt I'll be there with a car again.
