Default My "Casino Of The Month"

Has to be the "Four Winds" in Michigan. This casino is near Blue Chip and is kicking their butt, deservedly

This is a year old casino resort placed in a very beautiful wooded area. It has a upscale hotel attached, no pool but outdoor jacuzzi. But when I go to a casino it for sure is not to swim The rates are rather expensive.

The casino is very modern with the latest interactive electronics and touchscreen technology and many flat screen TV's placed in the casino. For sure a hi-tech casino. Four Winds is very clean and safe with excellent air handling. The restaurants are first rate and give a great dining experience. The dealers and pit are very relaxed and professional. For VP you can even find Hot Aces and JOB 9/6.

The BJ is all 6d, s-17, doa, das, split to 4 hands and split aces once to one card, except in HL where you have RSA. The HL room is very nice and exclusive and has slots, and BJ. A nice feature here is you can play 2 spots for table Min. While the BJ here is not the best in the Midwest it is playable and this casino is to be applauded for moving their games in the right direction.

What they need now is to add DD to the mix.

An Amtrak station -stop is being added a short distance away that runs to Chicago as well as into lower S. Michigan and will prove to be an extra boon to this fine establishment.

I believe the outside areas have many 8 deck shoes. Then again, I don't remember if I have been there in the last 2 months.

still an excellent report.

One thing to mention - they track bets each round using RFID in their chips.

Default comps suck at four winds

I have been there about five times and it is a beautiful but they are very stingy. After my 5th visit they wouldn't even comp me for a 12 dollar buffet. I really like Bj dealers and tables at blue chip, not crowded friendly and slow paced dealers. Also is next to a giant outlet mall if your wife does not gamble.

It used to be eight decks on almost all of their tables. They switched to six decks on all tables except for a couple of hi tie tables.
