The Odawa Casino is quite simply not worth the bother. The tribe blew a great deal of money and even more community goodwill when they abandoned a working model (Victories) for their overindulgent monstrosity on the hill. The list of negatives is so astoundingly high. The atmosphere is so unpleasant and cramped for such a large space. The slots really are tight. The table games are occasionally fun, but have never risen to the level of exciting. The worst part of all is that neither the tribe nor management seems to 'get' it. They've never given the impression that they are even open to suggestions. I don't really wish the casino ill at all. I wish there was someone there who was interested in turning the operation into an aesthetic and financial success. Although it's less than 10 minutes from my door, I would rather save my casino money for a single trip to Vegas every couple of years than spend time at Odawa.
