The whole staff is abhorrent. When I first entered through the casino doors, I was welcomed with a security guard following me throughout the casino for no apparent reason. I complained to the security supervisor and he just gave me an excuse that it was a coincidence. No apology for making me uncomfortable or any comp for their ill treatment... More

Just like the title says, you get free bingo on your birthday. I would skip the buffet and go for one of the sit down restaurants. Rube

Slots and bingo are same as every where, carpet needs changing, too much smoke, not enough air exchange. Highlight- Poker room has no smoking and $1 per hour comps with $36 room rate if you sign in and play 4 hours. Bad beat jackpot(holdem-Aces full of 10s, beat by quads and Omaha quad 9's beat). Currently $55,000 Hold em tournaments... More

This casino must be broke because they don't pay at all. Plus the food is mediocre, the room shabby, and the service terrible. I recommend skipping Meskwaki.

We have been coming to Meskwaki for four years on a golf and gambling trip (12 players) because we like a couple of area golf courses. The casino promises comps on the telephone and never comes through. You can't work with anyone there from year to year because of the turnover. Hotel room--ok, food adequate, gaming bad....but the customer service... More

Normally the crab legs are very good and easily accessible. This time they had been boiled in the correct amount of seasonin. They also redesigned where they have the crab legs & the carved beef. The new design doesn't work well! There is now one line instead of two (one for crab and one for beef).
