Went to the Isle in Biloxi for lunch and to play a little. The buffet was incredible, and very reasonable. But the table games were very limited, and only 1 table in the poker room at 6PM. Smoky in the slot area as well. Would come back for the food, but not to play.

We have been faithful Isle customers for a long time. On a recent visit, this past week actually, we noticed that the Isle is getting dated and the hotel rooms need renovating. Their slot machines are not recent vintage and they don't seem interested in getting newer slot games. Not too many newer than a year ago. The perfect example of keeping up with the industry are the Beau Rivage and the newly renovated Palace Casino, also in Biloxi.

Excellent place overall! 4 deck blackjack shoes where the dealer doesn't hit soft 17, and the player can re-split aces! 9/6 jacks or better, generous food comps, and the room was very nice.

They also have a 3:2 payout single deck game!

This place was a pleasant surprise in this day and age of casinos offering horrible rip off games to the public.

I stayed at this hotel/casino about a month ago. I had been here a couple of times pre-Katrina and liked it but this time was the best of all.



The place was crowded but not offensively so. The food in all the restaurants was terrific and the prices were very reasonable.



I had an upper-level room that overlooked a peaceful body of water. I played cards in the poker room and found the players friendly and not out for blood. I also played in a couple of tournaments where the entry fee was $45.00 which was not bad at all for the amount of time I played.



I got to the final table both times and made back my entry fees. All-in-all, I highly recommend this gem of a hotel/casino.

Post-Katrina, the Isle of Capri is a pleasant surprise. Before The Storm, the Isle had downgraded previously decent 9/6 Jacks or Better games and kept only the quarter games. It had also knocked down its cashback for video poker from around .35 percent (depending on the machine) to around .25 percent.



Since the re-opening in December of 2005, the Isle has increased its 9/6 JoB games, installing quarter and dollar Game Kings and Triple Play/Five Play for quarter, 50-cent and dollar games.



The Isle has maintained its .25 percent CB for VP.



But the Isle doesn?t have a blackjack game to brag about. It still has way too many 8-deck tables, no resplitting of aces, and the evil 6-to-5 single-deck game.



But the Isle does have a nice poker room. It's small but friendly with decent promotions and tournaments.
