This casino was really neat. It was small but had new and fun games to choose from. I didn't like the parking situation downtown and how smoky the casino is.

I've been to casinos in 3 different states (La, MS, and In). This, from the outside, seemed to be nothing but a building downtown that had a rundown sign that said casino.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and that holds true with the Fond-du-Luth Casino in downtown Duluth. The old and tired black exterior à la 1980's Miami Vice is actually far nicer than the smokey, stale interior. Do yourself a favor, instead of wasting your time and money at the Fond-du-Luth, see a movie, go to dinner, or... more

I enjoy going to a good casino and playing the slots. As a Duluth local I feel it is fair to warn visitors about this casino. The last review was being honest. All the staff does is stand around. Forget getting you machine filled with change if it runs out. I waisted most of my time there waiting to get... more

this casino proves to be the worst in the state maybe the whole country.They have very rude employees.Finding someone for change is hard to do.Most stand around doing nothing.and the odds of wining any kind of pay out are almost nil.And if you do win you should feel lucky because it don't happen that much.You can sit almost a half... more
