    Awesome facility and casino. They have semi parking off to the left in back. Spent 18 hours here playing the slots and only lost $80 in 8 hours of playing. At one time I was up $300 but kept playing. The machines are calibrated right and not too tight. Workers are super friendly and professional. I also ate lunch and dinner inside and it was excellent at a good price!!! I would definitely recommend coming here! I’ll be back that’s for sure.

    I have a good time here.... I seem to have more luck here than at Hollywood. As with any games of chance, it is always the luck of the draw. They closed their gift shop, not sure what the plan is for it going forward.

    Came here for a work event. This place was awesome. I loved the horses and even placed a few bets. The casino was super nice and clean. Played a few slots but didn't win like usual. Had a good time and enjoyed the place. Will make sure to bring the wife next time and let her lose more money. We will have to try the food next time and hope they have some onion rings or pizza.

    Good space with good service. Drinks are tasty & servers are both helpful & attentive. Good selection of games. Our luck was pretty decent. Planning to come back for racing [May to September if memory serves] to make for the complete experience.

    Very nice small casino. Good selection of recent and classic slot machines but zero video poker. Non-smoking in main area but two outdoor terraces Very friendly staff. Beverage stand available in the back. It is a Caesar's property so you get rewards. Machines, especially in the high limit room seem tight.

    Pretty run of the mill as far as casino experience goes. The real winner here was the Brew Brothers restaurant. Huge portions and the best service staff. Unique cocktails and a huge selection of house brews. The Redhead Amber Ale was so tasty and paired extremely well with my "fish and chips". Two huge fried Cod filets and fries.

    Love playing at this place. They have all the games. Love the horse racing love having the hotel attached to it. Just wish they had another restaurant because the other two have limited menus. Amazed that Ohio casinos have Lottery machines on their property. Quite handy.

    I recommend coming here for some cheap entertainment(that is if you bet much). Usually about 16 races and$2 Minimum bets. They have hotdogs,hamburgers,popcorn, pop at the concession, and a full bar if that's your thing. I've been coming here since I was a kid. I still love it. Post time at 3:15pm get there early to get a good seat.

  • 3/5 kelli k. 1 year ago on Google
    I ended up not spending any money here. First off, no one was at any of the locations that I found to get a card or offer customer assistance. Secondly, I found the video a lot machines to be very confusing, so a customer service professional would have been helpful. The older men working the doors both pointed to where folks should be... maybe I just got lost. At the end of the day - harness racing had ended for the season and that was why we originally stopped, so my gain is my win I suppose. They do appear to have a rather large section blocked off for 2023 renovations. Maybe next year I can catch some harness racing.

    This place is ran with Greed! I played every machine on the floor and lost on every one of them. The only jackpots you see and hear about on the floor is $1200. Every machine that gets the jackpot bonus only gives out mini ...i pay attention to everything....Everything you see above that threshold comes from the high limit room. And trust me I have watced several people spend anywhere from $15000 to $20000 just to win $2000. This place is a joke and I truly do NOT recommend you give them your money! If you like losing this is the place for you. I have been going since ceasers took over and the Greed has reached Max win for them and Max loss for you! Also on a side note I have spoke with plenty of staff and they don't even pay the workers well. Everyone loses except the Greedy people at the top. Please stay far away from this place! Take heed to this review im trying to help you by giving you the truth about how thing really are here. I'm not a loser upset for losing that's how gambling is. I' only simply giving my honest review and overall outlook on this entire establishment as a whole. I give it 1 star. And that on appearance only. But remember this. Everything that shines is not gold.

  • 5/5 Redesigndiva 2. 9 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    I enjoyed this casino immensely! The staff was friendly, food is decent and atmosphere is serene outside. There is a smoking section, which is great, because I don’t smoke, but they can chill with the coconut air freshener inside it’s loud. I was able to RV park while I watched the races and gambled. It’s crazy because I was simply passing by on my way to NC. Jumped off the highway and began with the races…then went inside to the slots. The slots had an even balance.. I came out even from when I arrived and I gambled for 5 days. There was a live band on Friday night outside by the races. I met people, laughed with staff, talked to strangers, and moved on…It was a fun stop. My absolute favorite thing was the French fries…weird but true. Definitely recommend!!

    Be prepared to provide your drivers license if you’re younger than 60 years old yet appear over 25 so they can scan you into their database just so you can go eat dinner with your family at Brew Brothers then be required to be scanned again to exit the restaurant. I will never come back to this establishment nor recommend this communist place to anyone.

    I had so much fun, and I can't wait to go back! The staff is very kind and helpful! They will help you understand what to do if you're new to the casino. I love this place for so many reasons. Go check it out, you wont regret it, its such a great time!

  • 5/5 Sara P. 1 year ago on Google
    Super clean! Friendly staff! Nice, clean & fair slot machines. DELICIOUS restaurant. Also get to see the horse races at the same place!! What more could you ask for!? **EDIT TO ADD** && they ALWAYS got the Buckeyes playing on game day! Will most definitely be back in the future!!

  • 5/5 Eric P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a great time. The first machine we got on we went from $20 to $460 and it took everything in me not to drag my brother in law out the door to the truck. He is a degenerate gambler who hit 8 gra

  • 4/5 Sammie Jo (Sammie J. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the staff here, the games are great too. I may be biased, but I don't feel like their games hit as often or for as much. I'll go to the same games, bet the same way, and so.e games I've never hit on for more than $1 whereas at Hollywood I will hit multiple times for decent amounts. These are games that have High RTP (return to player) rates, and they have the exact games at both casinos. My only other issue is on my last trip, the women's bathroom was kind of gross because half of the toilets hadn't flushed. Otherwise 8 like this casino, and it always smells wonderful (which I'm sure is their aim).

  • 5/5 Gary H. 3 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    Only my second time ever at a casino and this one was very nice, plenty of machines and the wait staff were very tentative and frequently offered up their services.

  • 2/5 Mindy H. 5 months ago on Google
    Many outdated slots. The deodorizer/air freshener is deadly! Could smell it before I even opened the exterior door. Was there 2 hours and had to leave because the fragrance was so overwhelming. Won't return to that poisoned atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Shawn D. 1 year ago on Google
    I will rewrite my opinion of scioto casino. I hit a jackpot of some 11,700 something dollars another 5 or 6 weeks ago and this place could do no wrong in my eyes. Folks I’m here to tell you I still love it even though I’m not hitting the pots I’d like I’m comfy here it’s clean it’s always got staff on duty that just seem to genuinely love what they are doing. I would give anything to have a job here. That right there tells you something about this establishment, if I want a job so I can be as happy as I see there employees you definitely gotta come see for yourself. Bring a friend that you haven’t seen in a while it will definitely get ou guys back to hangin out again. Love this place

  • 5/5 Kay C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is me and my best friends get away. We say it's our therapy. Good food, friendly staff and pay outs are awesome. I recommended to my daughter for her girls get away and they had a ball and enjoyed their stay at the hotel. Great place to have a good time!

  • 5/5 Ronnie 7 months ago on Google
    Enjoyable clean casino. Great variety of games. I understand truckers can't park here and I dont care, there is a store across the street and there is a crosswalk. Haven't met too many drivers that couldn't use the exercise. I'm sure the casino has several reasons why we can't park there anymore and it's their choice.

  • 5/5 Michael F. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice layout. The restaurant has a great view of the track so there's not really a bad seat anywhere.

  • 3/5 Jessica R (. 6 months ago on Google
    I mean it's a casino in Ohio. There's really not a whole lot more that you can say. Overall parking is fantastic there. They've got parking all over the place. We really don't go down for the gambling. We go to see the horse races. I do feel the inside is a little tight and not very well laid out or marked for where different things of interest are. Bathrooms are decent and always stocked. They have a wide range of different games. I will say this. It's definitely better than Hollywood in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Megan R. 10 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend seeing Rosy at the High Limits bar for a fantastic martini! I appreciate her for always going above and beyond with my drink requests!

  • 5/5 Terry W. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice casino, but need new bar stools in the main bar. Excellent bartender Alicia was super friendly and knowledgeable.. Excited to hear the bands are back and just wish they would have it posted somewhere. Had to ask my bartender to get the details. Went for the horse races but ended up in the bar, and it was a very nice time on a slower Wednesday

  • 5/5 Kim S. 7 months ago on Google
    There are at lest 5 bars with different themes. So many machines.great decor it's a must see

  • 4/5 Shirl Sib (. 11 months ago on Google
    It was okay. I hadn't been there in about 8 years and was disappointed to see they have mostly outdated gaming slots. Nice to see they now have a hotel and a great restaurant. Did not visit the buffet. The staff was all very pleasant from greeter, to customer service to the restaurant staff all gave AAA service. The casino was very clean including the women restrooms. Oh they have open air gaming areas, which I am sure the smoker will love. So a little something for everybody is always a winner. I will probably go back one day, I just hope better slots will be installed.

  • 2/5 Andy T. 9 months ago on Google
    In my never ending quest to find the “tightest” slots on the planet I think my adventure may finally be over. Congrats to Scioto Downs for winning this prestigious award. I thought grandma’s canning jars were locked up tight and then I spent a few minutes in this venue. First time in my long history as a gambler I have spun through 20 hundys without ONE line hit on four machines. The Good: The people working the rewards desk were fantastic. Tons of new machines in all denominations. High limit room was well stocked with the latest games. The Bad: If you are serious about donating money to the bottom line of this venue then these slots are a great way to make that happen. I have seen tight but I am not sure if a pro grade pneumatic drill would loosen these bad boys up. Yikes. No match for other tiers at other casinos. ATM’s that give you 20’s … huh??? The place is “pretty” but I’ll be driving by on my way to Wheeling tonight … and every time

  • 3/5 william r. 1 year ago on Google
    Took out vast majority of old school machines. I personally prefer them rather than the new fangled ones. I like buffets, but it's been closed since the pandemic started. So I didn't eat. I'd go back, but no time soon. I gamble very little anymore

  • 1/5 Christy R. 9 months ago on Google
    Went down hill quick. Not happy with this place. I use to like going and rated as 5 star, but not anymore. Being a seven star gets you nowhere. I don't even know who my host is, and was treated terrible which made me be terrible back. I just don't get it. Spending freeplay which is very little, then not going back after that goes down even more. Just isn't worth my time.

  • 1/5 William P. 9 months ago on Google
    Like usual saw the top 2 tier card holders hit hand pays and lost like usual. Races fun to watch. Food good though. Associates was rude to busy to fix machine waited 45 min. Said they had to pay out a top tier card holder be back so waited n never came back another did. Sad can't even take a date here no fun always lose.
