What's the best casino within 2 hour drive of Chicago?

Post by Greendays »

I live near Rivers, but heard it's harder to win. What casions near Chicago have better odds? Willing to drive to southern WI or western Indiana. TY!

Rivers, like other Chicago area casinos, have bad pay tables especially on lower denominations. But pay tables have no affect on odds. So location does not matter.

Lol. Right. So you have just as good of a chance of getting paid less at Rivers as you do of getting paid more at some other casino with better pay table.

You sure are a greenhorn. Play at Rivers and you'll be up one without a paddle.

I know that I am getting in sort of late into this thread, but I have to say that I have been pretty lucky at the Wind Creek Casino. It is the only Chicago area casino that I have ever had any success at as far as playing for any period of time without losing my money.

Just a head's up about Wind Creek. They do not allow freeplay to be used in video poker machines anymore.
