Casino Gaming by Lake Superior

For a relatively small town compared to other attraction heavy cities, Duluth has quite a bit to offer tourists as well as residents. One side trip worth considering is the Fond-du-luth Casino located downtown.

Fond-du-luth Casino doesn't claim to be another Las Vegas strip gambling hotspot, but it does offer the gaming enthusiast a nice respite from touring the many other Lake Superior attractions Duluth has to offer.

The casino is owned and operated by the Lake Superior Chippewa, Fond du Lac Band. From the exterior the building hardly gives the appearance of a location one would find gambling opportunities. Once inside, however, visitors will be surprised at the number of slots available, over 750 to be exact. Fans of Blackjack will be thrilled at the availability of the 4 card gaming tables. The environment is friendly and gives guests a comfortable feeling as they wonder around this small but modern gaming facility. The friendly staff offers beverages while gaming, although unlike some of the larger casinos there is a small charge.

The casino has ATM service and also a check cashing facility. The casino just recently implemented a cash access program that enables cardholders the ability to cash checks here as well as numerous gaming businesses around the country. It is anticipated that this service will remove the hassle for visitors seeking check cashing capability. The casino claims the process of obtaining a card only takes seconds enabling the gamer to be back in the game quickly.

Like the larger casinos Fond-du-luth offers a Players Club card that enables gamers to accumulate prize points. The more games played the more points are accrued. With over 750 modern slot machines available the prize points can mount quickly. Players Club members are able to participate in weekly drawings for cash prizes and discounts from local merchants.

Seniors Day is conducted every Tuesday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. for Senior Players Club cardholders. Senior gamers can participate in the special activities designed with the 60+ crowd in mind.

The location of Fond-du-luth Casino puts visiting guests close to many fine dining facilities. For those seeking overnight accommodations tourists couldn't ask for a more convenient location. Many of Duluth's finest hotels are close by. The casino offers a shuttle service not only to the area hotels, but to one of their competitors, Black Bear Casino. The shuttle to Black Bear Casino currently departs every 2 hours.

The size of Fond-du-luth puts everything within close proximity to all of the gaming fun. The bar offers a wide range of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. A limited food menu is also conveniently located in the bar area.

Make no mistake, this little gaming spot probably wouldn't be considered a gaming destination by many slot and Blackjack enthusiasts, but as the saying goes, you can never tell a book by its cover. The same can be said for this small casino. If visiting Duluth do yourself a favor and stop by this small gaming gem.

The casino is open 24 hours daily, 7 days a week.
