Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa Casino Review
Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa Casino WI is in western Wisconsin and was opened in late 1993. It has over 400 slots and electronic table games. It is operated by the Ho-Chunk Nation, a federally recognized tribe of the Ho-Chunk with territory in five states, including Wisconsin.
Casino Games
This Nekoosa casino has a decent gaming floor, although the slots space is a little cramped. There is a decent range of games, and recently some electronic table games have been added.
The original table games seem to have been phased out according to the official site. This is not a Vegas-style experience, but high rollers are unlikely to be making their way here if they are looking for Wisconsin casinos, although you will find more here at Slots Temple.
Slots
Players can enjoy 400 slots ranging from penny slots to some progressive machines with a US$5 wager. There are some multi-denomination machines, or players can try out the Ho-Chunk Nation's Ticket-In Ticket-Out EZ pay system paying in the form of a ticket rather than cash.
You will find slots from game designers Bally and IGT as well as favourites such as Buffalo and Double Diamond Mulitplay.
Remember you can find some of these slots to play in demo mode by visiting the US casinos page here at Slots Temple before visiting the casino and playing for real.
Table Games
New electronic table games have recently been introduced, and six players can enjoy Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat.
Features and Amenities
The Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa offers some basic facilities, and here they are.
Dining
The Swiftwater Lounge, close by the electronic tables, offers burgers, pizza and hot dogs alongside a range of other snacks and refreshments. Meanwhile, at the BP Smokehouse, which opens from noon until 8pm, players can enjoy signature sandwiches and sides.
Accommodation
Although there is no on-site accommodation there are some options in close-by Wisconsin Rapids. First up is the Wisconsin Rapids, a fine hotel offering a full service and a bar and restaurant. It also has a sauna and fitness center and an indoor pool.
The casino has also arranged stay and play packages with six neighbouring smaller hotels. Check at reception to pick up a US$10 voucher which can be redeemed in the casino.
Golf
There are also redeem points and comp dollars arrangements at two nearby golf courses: the Marshfield Country Club and The Ridges.
Loyalty Program
Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa operates a Loyalty Program known as the Rewards Club, giving access to Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa promotions. There are eight tier levels, and the number of points you earn over six months will decide the level you will benefit from, with a point relating to a US$10 play session.
Overall Review
The Ho-Chunk Gaming Nekoosa offers a decent number of slots given the size of the gaming floor, and the new electronic table games are a modern addition which will appeal to plenty of visitors.
As you would expect from this size of casino, the amenities are a little regional, but the location is an attractive part of the state and fans of the outdoors will enjoy staying in nearby Rapids.
Some of the online reviews are less than favorable, however, and visitors will have to make up their own mind whether their gaming session needs to be extended.
