Wild Goose Casino

Omg!  I totally love this place!  I went to visit family in WA, a couple of friends and I stopped in (basically curious on what the actual casino looked like) right when all 8 of us walked in, we were greeted with "smiles" and a warm welcome!  The staff was great!  Very friendly, food was awesome.  I love the layout of the "casino" and get this:  I won $500.00!  Yes, I totally dig this place and I will be back again........cheers!!!!!

Full disclosure: I've never been here.

But I wanted to alert you to the deal they had displayed on their reader board last weekend.

Tuesday is Job Night, people! Bring your pay stub or proof of employment, and receive a coupon book worth $60!

I'm not sure I get the logic, (you'd think they'd want to lure in people who DON'T have jobs, and wouldn't the out-of-work people be the ones who need coupons?), but who am I to argue with the powers that be in Ellensburg?

This place is a joke of a casino, but the bartenders are really friendly, and if you are looking to grab a drink (or twelve) for peanuts, this is the spot for you.

A few poker tables crammed together apparently consists of their poker room and their pit has about ten tables. If you are wanting to play a game alone or with your crew, about a $300 buy in will get you just such a table.

I was stunned when the shift manager told me what I'd have to buy in to get a private table. I was used to putting up thousands of dollars at my usual casinos for private gaming action, so I naturally jumped at the chance here. Played table max for a few hands, made enough money that the cage ran out of 100's and had to finish my payout in smaller bills, thanked the shift boss and headed on my way to the Gorge.

A good experience because I made so much money, but the place is only worth two stars.
