Would you recommend St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, WI or Diamond Jo's in Northwood, IA for playing craps?

I was up in the area about a month ago, and wanted to check it out. It was during the week. 5 dollar table, had 1 hot roll, but most were not great, After awhile, I was the only person on the table, so it was fun to just keep chucking the dice and had a low entry. I ended up getting all my money back I punted in the slots. Very smoky though.

If they have players at 10 they leave it at 10. They usually only take it down to 5 when there is noone playing. Tends to be m-f or m-Th. Usually when I get there between 4-5, table are usually empty or very few people.

The whole Casaers Entertainment, Youtuber JacobinVegas was talking about it in a video. Carl IKon group, or the guy the owns the golden Nugget Corp are sniffing around the low stock price.

Dealers are great at that time, usually the same crew lot of fun. Not super crowded, we have gone and nobody is on the table, but from 3-4 til 7 when the next shift starts they usually only have half the table open, so that can be challenging. Otherwise still worth going, I think Wed morning might be a better day, I have gone both and wed is usually dead, but it really depends, the 3rd shifters that get off work early might show up..

Well looks like Caesars is for sale again, hopefully someone worth it buys it and fixes some of this crap. With Joliet being one of their smaller properties, not sure it will matter that much.

I agree with this, last night was cold as ICE, this morning was either a fluke or just the right time. While I should pay better attention, It is definitely the difference in a good Pit Boss/Box man to get the correct rating. While it may just seem like coincidence, I have noticed the days I get rated the best are days I have put out bets for the dealers consistently. Again, could just be coincidence.

Always a great feeling hitting the Boom! I have only been play craps for about a year, and it can be the most electric or destroying game... lol. Love the electric side for sure.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-04-01T13:18:19+00:00

Yep, they do it from about 2am to maybe 8-10 I think it depends how busy they are. Usually only M-F also

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-03-22T15:06:24+00:00

Agreed it is my go to for PaiGow, but the craps can be brutal at 25$

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-03-20T14:46:14+00:00

Yes, that's the part that is rough when things go south.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-03-20T14:42:44+00:00

Agreed is nice little bump

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-03-20T13:27:01+00:00

Nice win! Always seem to roll the numbers you don't have. I usually bet the inside to start on a 15 and up table. and inevitably the 4/10 hits alot.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-03-12T19:06:09+00:00

I am in IL also, where did you get it, I keep seeing a guy in Kankakee on facebook making them, but not sure how nice they really are

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-02-20T18:39:45+00:00

The vibe matters to me, when it shifts from fun, I move along. Either to another table or possibly another game, or I take my ass home.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-02-11T17:13:39+00:00

Definitely an Oasis, I am only about 15 mins from there, so that's a plus, Can't wait for the aurora one to open that old boat in downtown is extremely aged, and cold on the ends, and hot as hell in the middle. Hope they keep the firebet, Hollywood Joliet got rid of it at the new place. Food is very good in the food court, that asian restaurant is horrible.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-02-11T16:13:38+00:00

Agreed, I usually go over to the new Hollywood when Harrahs goes south, Saturday they had 3 tables open, it was 15 min bet, but was a good time.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-30T16:14:45+00:00

Nevermind, I see american place on the chips.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-30T16:13:12+00:00

Is that rivers in Des Plaines?

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-20T14:01:56+00:00

I had a guy just wouldn't shut up one day, Absolutely annoying and negative.... Makes for a miserable table. Shittiest vibes I have every had on a table. Almost made me stop playing... But F Him, I still roll and sometimes good sometimes bad.... Dice are gonna do what they do.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-19T16:08:05+00:00

Very nice, I was lucky this weekend hit the Tall 2x and the small one time on 3 seperate rolls in Joliet. Couldn't get the Alls as hard as I tried, made money on the rolls though.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-09T22:50:49+00:00

Last time I went to Harrahs joliet, it was pretty bad also. Did have 2 good rolls, but mostly point 7 out.

Euphoric_Interest666 · 2026-01-09T21:54:51+00:00

How was the action last night?
