Our first impression was borne out and we left happy, full and a few bucks ahead. The uniforms worn by staff were appropriate to their tasks and were tasteful and professional. Slot machines were of the latest generation and there was an adequate number of table games to accommodate all the gamblers who cared to participate. Both of us ate very well (mine was their signature burger with all the trimmings, french fries and iced tea) - the total tab for two very satisfying and well prepared lunches was LESS THAN $8 (pre-tip), and our server was friendly, accommodating and very prompt. We took advantage of the specials offered - lunch was half price and joining the Passport Club earned us both some free slot play. The noise level was more subdued than many casinos - the machines were still loud perhaps the high ceilings absorbed more noise than most. Not 'gaudy casino' as in some of the other smaller casinos in Michigan.
The ceilings are high, the colors are inviting and the furnishings are tasteful. It is their latest phase of construction, wrapping up their last phase only eight months ago. What immediately struck both of us was the decor. Gun Lake Casino broke ground on a new hotel and resort on Thursday. The entryway is impressive and there was someone to invite you in, to exchange pleasantries and to bid you a safe drive home. First off, it's incredibly easy to find - you can see it from US 131 and it is just off the expressway.
