Well, the ClearWallet has done so well off with our money they are open 24 hours as of May 1st. In my experiences with Washington casinos, this makes it much harder to find a good time to play.
You can try coming in and playing at strange hours of the night, but any visit over 2 hours means losing slot winnings rapidly. This casino can dish out big wins when the time is right, but they really turn the hurt on for the trouble. When I've played those strange hours of the night (not rush hour), the formula seems to be win 100, then lose 300. The Tribal Based lottery terminal system has a way of turning 75-88% paybacks into losing 5 out of 6 times. These are not pure RNG slots like Nevada. There are a certain number of bonus winning "scratch tickets" out there, and the tribe will have no trouble leaving a few out to make sure you hand back all of your winnings and bankroll. The rule of "if you are up, get up" is especially important here. The casino has a pleasant atmosphere and good food, but it comes at a high price. A few years ago, I would hear patrons talk frequently about playing through the night and going up and up, but not anymore. It's like all of the tribal casinos are daring each other to do a better job of assaulting and mugging their players. Where's the fun in watching 6 people come in and lose their shirts, and maybe finding one person walk out slightly ahead?

The facility, in regards to the restaurants, rooms gym and such are not bad. However, the services in the gaming room is horrible. Especially in the poker room. It seems this place caters to locals and the good old boy locals. In fact staff routinely derides players within earshot. Save the gas and turn around!

Stayed there over Holidays w/friend. Rooms were decent. Bad internet and lame cell coverage and staff could care less that I needed decent internet for some work related stuff but generally okay. What made it not so cool was the casino itself. Wish Id seen the comments about the slots before I went. Seems like they were just killing the Holiday crowd. Never experienced such tight slots before. E V E R ! Like so tight that you don't even feel like you're playing slots so much as just dumping money into a machine. Its wayyy weird and so lame. I wanted to punch the machines I was playing. Ran out of cash early as they sucked it all up and took early flight back before New Years. Made for brutal vacation and crappy holidays but glad to get out of there

NEVER gives back. My husband and I have been to just about every casino in Vegas and Atlantic City and Western NY and never have we spent $1600 on slots in 2 days without winning anything. I'm not talking about taking money home but just winning enough to keep you playing for a while. They are so greedy they can't even offer a customer that. We played machines I've played in other casinos that paid so it's not the machines themselves. This was the worse experience we ever had at a casino! The slots were so tight it was horrible! It's absolutely ridiculous! Entertainment" IT'S A RELATIVE TERM. So ask yourself this (metaphorically speaking) : Is it entertaining for you to have an ARROGANT RICH PERSON come up from behind you, JAM a gun into your back and while laughing at you say -- "Give me all of your money… Your money is ours and if you say a word about it we will have you thrown to the pavement. Now stop playing and hand over your money you stupid idiot!" . . . If THAT'S the general feeling of what you're looking for from a Casino experience then Suqaumish Clearwater Casino IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. . . IF however you want more of the regular Casino experience where the odds favor the house but nonetheless offer some chance of winning, well then you must go to any other casino then Clearwater.

I've played at numerous casinos throughout the country -- MGM Grand in Detroit... Mole Lake in Wisconsin. ,The Golden Lake Casino in Kansas. Grand Victoria Casino in Chicago, Harrahs Chester Casino & Racetrack in Philly, The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi. The Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport, The Black Hawk Casinos in Colorado, Calder Casino & Race Course in Florida and on and on -- I'm just naming 1 per state but believe me there is more -- Been to all the big ones around the U.S and plenty of the boutique places as well. Name a state - I've been to at least one casino there. Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Oregon, Idaho, Connecticut... Not to mention Europe and Eastern Europe. Went to Le Royal Meridien National in Russia and the Divonne Les Bains, in France -- But OUT OF THEM ALL - only 1 managed to boggle my mind and give me a literal migraine (For which I don't get) ...It was this Club Clearwater Casino in Washington State. Believe me... I know the odds. I know the risks and I have taken them with all my travels, but those words don't even apply at that Club Clearwater Suqaumish place. Unbelievable. Absolutely mind boggling. I am sorry but the best way to describe it was the same feeling as being MUGGED or robbed. In fact I have to say that I was indeed mugged years ago and the experience was traumatic but it didn't sit with me as hard as my experience at this Clearwater. I don't know how they do it . They perhaps are not regulated... But even then I must point out that Ive been to some shady joints -- even one poker house in Turkey that I know had some mob ties but even those places never assaulted the customers like this place did. It was as if they never wanted you to return. BINGO! They scored... I mean how or why would someone? You can walk from slot to slot and slide in one hundred dollar bills and hit those buttons in any varying pattern or bet and you will never once see more then 10% above your bet come back -- The bonus rounds generally don't kick in until you're blurry eyed, but even when they do you wonder WHY? Why do they bother kicking in because they pay... NOTHING... Seriously... Bonus rounds that equate to zero... Bonus rounds that took you hours to have the chance to play that return NOTHING. I mean you expect for a symbol of the middle finger to pop up at you -- But even that would be too respectful there -- This was true for me AND my friends and we are talking 5 solid days of this. It was funny on day two. On day four we were all out of our minds. Day 5 we were stoned faced. Not about the loss (although it hurt) about how absolutely UN-FUN it was. Relentless. Brutal. Crazy.

I've played at most of the casinos throughout western Washington, and I would have to put Clearwater at the top of the list. When the slots are paying, there is no better place to play--clean, bright, friendly, good food, and very little smoke. The staff tries to be friendly and helpful, especially if you play often. Now the catch--when are those slots paying? I've had a few good days with the Clearwater, made hundreds. But for the most part, I've lost thousands looking for those good days. You can't come out ahead; you can only hope to pay a reasonable cost per hour for your entertainment. I would put that cost at roughly $40 per hour, unless you are wagering quarters or less. If you want to gamble in Washington, I think that's what you'll typically pay. I've decided that I can't afford to continue paying so much for this hobby, and thus have self barred myself for awhile. But for those of you who have cash laying around and want to get rid of it, I think the ClearWallet is about as good as you're going to find in the Seattle area. As to my previous question: your best chances are on Sunday through Wednesday, midnight to 2 AM. Don't go early or stay any later. The biggest reason I've lost more than I gained here is that they will take back the big payouts as quick as they can. Too many bad bays for my taste...

I and my friend spent a lot of the money at clearwater casino but we never win..... slot machines took took our money and never gave back....
Some of Player's Club are not polite at all, should be nice to the costumer since they spent money over there::(((
the food is great but Truly Awful Costumer Service exactly Player's Club.

Considering it takes a ferry ride or a very long drive through Tacoma and up the peninsula to get here from Seattle, it wasn't worth it.

The place was pretty clean and the people OK but it didn't pay. Took and took and took and never gave back.

If you just like to play, fine. If you're hoping to win, steer clear.

This is a reasonably nice mid-sized casino and has a large number of electronic slots. There are table games as well as keno too.

The deli is decent (they have great home-made clam chowder on Fridays), but I think the buffet ($23.95) is overpriced on the weekend, unless you like crab legs, in which case you're in luck.

The slots seem tight in my opinion, and they don't have many of the latest "big name" slots, either. There are 3 different cash systems for the slots, one using your player's club card as a stored-value card, and the other two using bar coded tickets. None is compatible with the other two, so you may find yourself constantly cashing out to switch machines.

One GREAT feature, they do have a free shuttle bus that meets every ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, then they cart you off to the casino. So if you're staying downtown without a car, and you just want to get away, you can walk onto the Bainbridge Island ferry. Enjoy a nice 35 minute ferry ride and they'll pick you up on the other side, then bring you back when it's time to go. They have live music some nights. Serve-yourself soft drinks are free, and cocktails and beer are cheap.

My wife and i dined in the steak house grill. the atmosphere was wonderful. the staff was very attentive, the salad was new modern and very tasty. the asparagus was cooked perfect, as was the baked potato. the flavor of the steak was very pleasant. so why the rating of 1? because the quality of the cut of steak was so poor that i could not chew through the grizzle. that ruined the entire experience. too bad. I WONT RETURN!

This casino is closest to home, so I have played it fairly often over the past few years.

? The staff is friendly. Cocktail waitresses are scarce at times --- or overly abundant -- funny there never seems to be a middle ground. Usually easier to go to the bar for drink (and get a better one at that).

Excellent buffet. You can occasionally play for a long time here but your chances of winning money are slim ... the slots just whittle it slowly away.

I almost never play $1 and $5 slots here anymore ... just nickels and quarters for entertainment ... and save my bigger stash for the Lucky Eagle near Centralia where the odds seem much better.

Absurdly enough, this casino on Kitsap Peninsula is the only one I can get to from Seattle without a car (except Lucky Eagle in Centralia, but I don't want to go for that long w/o a drive w/o a potty break).

It is my favorite casino because of the staff. They are professional but they are friendly small-town people and it shows (to their benefit). The water/pine tree view from the buffet's floor to ceiling windows is its best feature, it is very calming. The food is decent. It seems to cater to older folks. It's a very pleasant, calm casino. It does have a player's club for those that want it. There are coffee/water stations everywhere.

The comp/point system is very bad, but they do send you special coupons and I nearly always get my ferry reimbursed using my card. The downside is that the slots don't pay well. Playing carefully I have broke even and I have played a long time without spending alot of money, but I've never come back a winner.

A plus is that they are the only casino with a nice variety of progressive games, one with a max bet of $1.50 and a current balance of over $300K. Something to get used to is the variety of methods of tickets. They have 3 different kinds of tickets and a card system. That was very annoying until I figured it all out. The progressive tickets and your players card can only be redeemed at a cashier.

Stayed for two nights, rooms were very nice, price was OK for a weekday. Played 3 days of slots, kept going up and down, but played forever.



Food in the deli was good and the buffet wasn't bad. Pool is sweet and the business area is nice, but the fitness room lacked weights.

My wife and I are casino jumpers, we are on a mission to hit every casino in Washington and Oregon. There are 28 in Washington, 11 we have hit and 9 in Oregon 2 we have hit, we will let the reviews continue. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would

give this casino and hotel a 7.
