The Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn has become an organization led by thugs and goons. My wife and I have gone there for years celebrating many occasions as well as 'just for fun'.

We've spent lots of $ and won a few Jackpots over the years. Until a recent event, I would have recommended going there... BUT, the other night after playing for hours and losing several hundred dollars, my wife won a Jackpot! Yeah, we were happy! We got a little bit of our money back but most importantly we were having a great time.

Crowds gathered around to share our excitement while we waited for the staff to bring the money out. Then.. instead of bringing her prize, the manager came out surrounded by a group of aggresive/angry body guards to tell us her id was no good and the Jackpot would not be paid. This was the same id that had been used several times over the past eight years to collect winnings at that same place.

They have everything on computer so they knew that. The big boss waved his arms in my wife's face as she cried. Well.. I came unglued and cussed them out! ...then the goons came after me and 'escorted' me off the property leaving her alone in the place to try and reason with them. There is much more to the story but you get the point. They have turned into nothing better than an organized gang of high priced thugs. You might wonder if my wife got her Jackpot after all the drama? The answer is NO! Please don't waste your money there. It's not safe and they discriminate. I'll leave it there. This was my 'Muckleshoot Moment'...

I get to go to Muckleshoot Casino a couple times a month when I am lucky. The biggest draw for me are the restaurants. Not so much the deli--still good though. There's a huge room for table games. I play slots and win and lose as normal always hoping to win of course.

There's a huge area to smoke in and there's another huge area to get away from the smoke, and it's a nice non-smoker's area. The people are always courteous to me at Muckleshoot, even when my blood pressure is up and I am grumpy. There are enough machines for everyone it seems.

And I like the fact I can use my players club points to buy things with, as well, although I wish they had points to apply to a hotel stay, since I don't live in the area. Last, but not least, I enjoy the live music and dance floor in the middle of the casino. There are some great bands that play there, for my free entertainment, to boot! Muckleshoot Casino is my favorite "local" casino.

If they would stop giving out stupid little gifts and maybe allow us to play a little on our money they would soon learn we would still feed it alll back. so they are happy and we feel like we haven't had the kiss of death!

When you walk in with $80 and a half-hour later you are leaving the joint and you were playing a penny machine and you were playing twenty-five cents, let me see you feel a bit violated!

Do I have anything good to say about the food? No way it sucks! The new buffet is an expensive way to one heck of a stomach ache!

Muck needs to look around at some of the other places and maybe reconsider those little trinkets, maybe give us a little play and enjoy letting go of a little money! And for goodness sakes find some cooks! Country Buffet beats that crap!

This casino is being remodeled, so it changes, but overall the atmosphere seems low-rent...one is reminded of green shag carpets, beer and potato chips in front of a T.V for some reason.

The best thing about Muckleshoot is that I've won there. Not much staff around, and I nearly had a knock-down with a 90-year old that wanted my seat. Our first buffet was awful, and way too expensive, but the next month there was a new one built elsewhere...there are free coffee stations (with only non-dairy powdered creamer), though we bought our first one because the server at the deli didn't mention it.

There is one section of slots near the club that has both the music from the club and the overhead music blaring at you, it's very annoying and unpleasant. It's big and there is a non-smoking building.

The comp points don't get you much but you can use them anywhere (candy shop...) and they send coupons and some money just for signing up.
