Diamond Jo Casino Worth: Nice Place

Nice place. I'm glad that they expanded the casino rather than taking the profit and running. I've noticed other casinos that haven't put a dime back into it.

There is a lot of room to roam around without running into someone when you are trying to get to a machine. I like the new reel em in games they have. A few more would be nice.

I like how I get money back to play on my players card. Last time I received 2 coupons for $25 each for free play. Last time I was at Mystique I got $1 and at Waterloo I got nothing.

The $5 buffet they have on Thursdays is the best value I've seen at a casino in several years. They could probably use a few more beverage servers but I like how they have self serve stations.

I noticed they rearranged the newer side of the casino which seemed to spread out the crowd on busy days. I wouldn't mind seeing their prize bank come back.

I've been to many casinos in Iowa and I can't say the Diamond Joes machines are any tighter or looser than normal. I gamble to have something to do and I see it as a source of entertainment rather than a money making affair. I'll go back there again.

Diamond Jo Casino Worth: Worse casino in the 5 state area

The rating on this casino is low overall for a reason. I frequented this casino since the day it opened. When they first opened the machines weren't too bad, on par with other casinos. As soon as they did their expansion and hotel it went down the tubes. And now that they are in court facing a lawsuit from the Rock Gone Wild mess.... well when you see payout claims on their boards of 91.3% you can bet that whoever is in charge of posting has been soaking at the big wheel bar... 19.3% maybe.... and that's being generous! Rumor has it they have failed many past audits on payouts.

I have gone home ahead 2 times since they opened their doors, and went at least 2-3 times per month since opening day. Last time I was there I snapped my players club card in half and handed it to the worker at the counter on the way out the door. NEVER will I set foot in the dump again, I would rather drive an extra hour to a casino in Minnesota.

Diamond Jo Casino Worth: Fun

We stayed overnight in our RV in a nice, level area. The casino seems to be land based, as I did not see any water near it. It is located next to the Iowa welcome center on I-35, just south of the Minnesota border.

We were there on a Friday night and it was quite crowded and smoky. Saturday morning the smoke wasn't that bad. The machines were fairly tight, but it seems like most are now. We saw very few waitresses and just got soft drinks from the self-serve beverage center. We will go back next time we are passing through. We ate at the Burger King that was overly priced. If you want Burger King, stop at the one outside of the casino near the rest area/welcome center.

Diamond Jo Casino Worth: Bad review

This casino was terrible! Could not win a thing! Would not suggest going there!

If you do, do not drink because you will get kicked out for public intoxication. The cameras were watching so close they knew exactly how many beers we were served. I'm sure they also kept tabs on how much they wanted to pay us.
