AWESOME casino. Small compared to the other "big guys" in the area. Though much smaller, this is THE place to be for a good time AND ACTUALLY winning a little cash. They even offer hourly drawings to 5 guests at a time of 100.00 each from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday's. THAT, is a lot of winners! ALL the newer machines are here, the employees are are ALL very nice (Security Guard opens the front door for EVERY single guest!), NOT overly crowded, clean, air works VERY good son you are NOT suffoctaed by smokers and PLENTY of parking. There is a small grill at one corner of the casino which offers some VERY tasty food (FRIES are AWESOME!!!). I ahd NO idea there was a buffet until I read the other reviews. Restrooms are clean, carpeting is clean and machines are clean. HIGHLY recommend this casino. You WILL have fun! read more

Before the new expention Augustain's Casino was a fun place to dine, gamble. Cafe 54 went and raised their Monday/Thursday night buffet price from $12.95 to $14.95 Not worth the money. Not when the prime rib is (always cold) poor service, management out of touch with reality. The casino floor for starter's (Where is the Fun?) Can't find it here with total unforgiving slots. Video Poker my favorite leaves you with no good play, and nothing in the way of (4) of a kind. Facebook: I was reading other reviews on this place, they we're for the most part bad. Don't ever try to tell the truth to the casino about cold food or anything. The Indians on this tribe think they know it all making any kind of helpful criticism out if the question. This is a business that serves the public and good helpful criticism can help a business grow. I would never waste my time at this place again money drown the drain with constant cold food, no way to win on the gambing floor. I have a good friend who sits on the city council in Palm Desert who was banded for helpful criticism but after talking to management a half dozen times it all went on deaf ears. "SHAME ON YOU AUGUSTINE'S CASINO" Not even an apology for your rude emdivors take the hint and clean up your act. No real community Indian tribe would do such a thing. I'm telling everyone at work, personal friend's to stay away from your casino. 1 Star needs to be -10 100% Awful! read more

We had a lovely indoor eating experience and the prices are reasonably priced. Great food and awesome service.

The main issue I have here is that its smoky here and you can smell it- so if that affects you this Casino might not be a good one, that being said, the staff here is VERY friendly and the machines are ok, walked out winning more money then I spent so thats a good thing lol. I wasnt impressed with Cafe 54 so didnt eat there that night and of course since they have Coke productsdidnt had anything to drink. read more

Augustine Casino - Casinos Near Me - Coachella, California

I loved this place! VERY busy though. Drinks are reasonable and so are their table games! Sunday through Thursday they have $3/hit blackjack tables and $5 on the weekend. $10 of free slot play or table games upon signing up for their players card! Tons of promotions! Almost gave the casino 5 stars, but it was so warm inside the casino that we were sweating. Sweating, drinking, and gambling don't mix! We had to cut our evening short because of the temperature inside the casino! :-( Oh yeah, I was given a free deck of cards just for visiting the casino! I love free stuff! read more

Really enjoyed this casino until a manager came up to me and claimed that I owed the casino money because they caught one of their dealers who made a mistake and I therefore owed them money. I asked to see the recording they claimed showed their dealer paying me out when they shouldn't have but they said they cannot show the videos to customers...... I also pointed out how it should have been the dealer's mistake for paying me on a hand that they claim I didn't win but they said no, it was on my dime and I couldn't leave until I paid them what I owed. Quite literally the worst customer service I've ever encountered. read more

Is my favorite little hide casino. If any one just like to get away , this the place to hide for, Nice service in buffet, waiter is friendly, not laugh, bring your ID in case they check you the time came in. Lots of slots machine, My self is not a gambler so higher play just quarter from a nickel machine. The enjoyable is we need, security is always standby, becareful to some ruth people...they tried to take your joy. read more

I ate at Cafe 54 and was served by one of the most friendly staff members! I believe his name was Julian. My friends and I were extremely impressed by his service and his knowledge of the menu. I don't gamble so I was truly impressed by the buffet and the level of service I was given by this individual! I hope whomever reads this gives him a huge pat on the back because the service is what made me a now loyal customer! Good Job! read more

We are eating dinner at Cafe 54, then I will be back. Well done with dinner, we love Augustine, yes they have great hamburgers...the staff at Augustine they treat you as family, you feel very comfortable going into Augustine. Thank you read more

Came here for the Lobster and Seafood buffet. Each Friday and Saturday it's all you can enjoy lobster! The prime rib was delicious! Over all the food and service was great. They call Augustine " the locals casino", I'd say that's correct. It was worth the drive. I'm sure we will be back! read more

1st time to visit the Casino & seafood buffet very impressed the Casino was clean, staff friendly & the machines fun. The buffet was superb Lobster, Crab,Shrimp Oysters & Salmon bake just to name a few. Other delicious selections including Roast Duck, Pasta, Potatoes & Salad. The desserts were numerous my favorite was Tres Letche Cake to die for. My compliance to the Chief read more

This is a very tiny neighborhood casino. There are t many table games. I believe they only have blackjack. At least they have $5 tables on Saturdays. The reason we come here is for the seafood buffet on Saturdays. It's about $40 per person. If u like unlimited lobster & crab, then come & enjoy. The lobster has some unique taste to it so I couldn't eat it. Most of my friends ate 2. The crab on the other hand is sooooo good. I had like 20 legs. They weren't too salty. Just dunk them in butter & it's so good. There aren't too many pasta dishes. Only a lobster ravioli that I didn't enjoy. The clam chowder is superb. Dunk the breadsticks in them to make it even more delish :) Desserts are good. Cheesecake. Ice cream. We waited no more than 15 minutes on a Saturday at 6:30pm for a party of 12. read more

First time card members get to spin for a chance from $5-$25 in free play and if you download the app on your smart phone you get another $20 in free play. My trip to Augustin was free. The buffet was ok. I was told a 15 minute wait and given a remote to let me know when my table was ready but after 30 minutes I went to ask what was going on and the service told me my remote battery died and my table was ready. Not cool but it is what it is. How was I supposed to know the battery died. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! The customer service is great, the payouts are generous 90% of the time.

If I could write a 0 Review I would. Let me begin by my husband and i going to the bar-buying everyone a drink, then is pulling out $200 each to play blackjack. As we're Playing -server says can I get you a drink I say "yes" what everyone's drinking. They come back with everyone's drink but mine cause I'm not able to order drinks for myself but I'm able for everyone else. The most Lame and unorganized casino in 20 years I've seen. I bought drinks for a whole table And everyone can drink but me? And here's your bill? Go to fantasy or spotlight or agua with Restaurants and fun times read more

We went to Augustine for the seafood buffet. When we arrived and saw that was a small casino we weren't sure what it would be like, but the buffet had everything we wanted and the food was amazing. read more

NO WINNERS! Unless you count free play or maybe if you spend thousands of dollars a year they track you with their cards and then they might kick you back a few hundred dollars here and there The general manager is an ass he had the nerve to say it my review that I'm a liar about getting sick on their shellfish how would he know I didn't see him there in December of 2014, to be clear wasn't botulism, it was a mild case of diarrhea immediately after eating in there restaurant and their Buffet,it's not like I passed out and got carried out by ambulance crew, but I'll tell you something they're not the only one I got sick at I also got second to Golden Acorn Casino off Interstate 8, God forbid if I ever get sick again on Casino Food I will call the paramedics and let them carry me out since this a****** accused me of lying! read more

This is such of bad place it was hot humid no air conditioning, the Sunday brunch had no seafood , the fish was breaded and old . Do not waste your time coming here I much rather eat at McDonald's than come here . read more

Food was very good Good value. However the smoke smell was real. Everyone that waited on us as well as all the staff were very nice.

Worst casino ever. I've played slots for 30yrs in casinos all over the US but these are the WORST! No variety, all the same and you just don't win. Anyone who say these slots are loose is an idiot. STAY AWAY, no fun playing here!! read more

Ayily bar in the Augustine casino excellent service perfect service size. Unexpected Great service in the hidden gem. Definitely a must check out. 1 of the best micheladas I've had. Bartender Lili was the best! read more

Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. If the payout is above 60% I would be amazed (regular fair casino pays 92-97%back to players). Its the only casino in this valley where you can walk in lose $300 on the slots in 15 minutes having never hit a thing. Its criminal at best. Please go to any other casino in the valley but this one. You may not win at the others either but at least they will give you some entertainment in the form of actually winning or continued play on your $300. ITS A JOKE!!!!! read more

They take to long for parties 6 and up, they don't care about people waiting, horrible service, manager has horrible attitude and is very rude, do not recommend coming here!! read more

It's kinda smoky in the casino but not the restaurant. The brunch buffet has to be one of the best in the valley

This plain boring box of a casino needs some major work. Upon arrival, I found the security staff to be pretty anal as I was carded numerous times. I was even asked what I was doing with my cell while taking a break outside... to which I replied, "Uuuuhhh. Text messaging and checking the internet." The security guard then nodded, looking mightily confused and puzzled as if he did not know phones had text messaging and internet nowadays. The small casino is full of mostly slots and just a handful of table games. I just played some leisurely penny slots and $3 blackjack. Funny there's a non-smoking section, but the place is like one big unsectioned room. The $15 buffet ($5 off if you sign up for the players card) was a bit scary with watery king crab and questionable smoked salmon and other seafood. The ribs and meatloaf were decent. The waitress lady was exceptionally nice and helpful, which is the highlight...sad. I'd probably never venture out here again unless it was to spend time with my folks who are crazy penny slot recreational junkies. It's fun cheering them on for a couple cents. Hahaha. read more

Good food, reasonable prices but horrible customer service. The family planned an early Mother's day dinner but they wouldn't allow the grandkids in to the restaurant like every other casino in the Coachella Valley. I asked to speak to the Manager but the front desk clerk would not call them over. Their competitors will benefit from all of our future family functions. read more

We ordered from the snack bar I ordered Fish and chips, my wife ordered taquitos without sour cream and cheese. The lady taking our order only wrote no cheese. When I told the cook he grabbed the receipt and said it only says no cheese. He was very rude. So I left them on the counter they did not even try to make it right. Very rude. I will only tip after I receive my order. read more

The machines here were LOTS friendlier than what I've experienced at the Agua Caliente lately. I know I'm going to lose my money eventually, but please at least let me play a little bit first! The facility is fairly clean, and the staff was friendly. $4 for a bottle of Tecate is too much to pay anywhere, but especially a casino. Lower the price of drinks to the same as Red Earth ($3, regardless of what you order), and I'll come back more often. read more

Just returned yesterday from an outing to Augustine Casino. Finally their prime rib was more tender... and cooked nice and rare too. Monday seems to be a particularly good day for their buffet. $7.95 with players card includes a thick cut of New York steak, prime rib ( about 12 oz) ravioli with lobster sauce, large coconut shrimps, and their traditional caesar salad with shrimp.. and I asked a manager there to label the salad dressings which she agreed enthusiastically to do. BTW the Augustine is supposed to have a 99% plus pay out on video poker... but only on 25cents and greater machines. read more

I came here one morning, curious to find one of the best meals of 2013! I had a Rib Eye Sandwich...Delicious, $5 with a coupon I earned... I signed up for the Players Card and began to rack up those points! Slots are decent, I honestly, broke even and got that Sandwich!!! A cute girl gave me a free deck of cards, which made my day! All in all, I would return here to enjoy a great meal. The food is delicious! Play a little and eat a lot! Cheers read more

This Review is just about the BREAKFAST at Augustine Casino. WOW! This would be a 5 Star except that the variety at breakfast doesn't change very often. If you are not a repeat breakfast eater, that doesn't matter . . . WOULD it be a 5 Star breakfast for a one time visitor? I have to add another condition and that is VALUE - if price is no object to you, then you'll find a better breakfast at a big strip casino in Vegas, but it won't be a flat $7.50!!! Value? Try $7.50 with NO TAX . . . (I do leave a dollar tip). What does that buy? The first question is, "How do you like your steak? Now, it isn't NY steak, but it is cooked to order and tasty. Next, you can get an omelette or eggs any way you choose. Yes, endless everything (although steak is limited to one steak). There is a good variety of breakfast foods - all good quality. Desert? Healthy fruits and all the real whole whipped cream you want. Try that on BIG ripe blackberries and strawberries! Yes, the coffee, water and juice and table service - pretty nice for a peanut price! YES - next week I'm going for all the lobster you can eat for $27.95! read more

Great service good food garlic mashed potatoes are bomb af but the broccoli cheddar soup is fucking TRASH

All I can really comment on is the buffet. Went there over Easter weekend because we heard it was the best breakfast in the area. Unfortunately, it was not. The service was great and so was the setup, but the food was subpar. Maybe it's because I am from Orange County. It was actually packed but the food was just average and the coffee not very good. Other people say the food should be $7.50 but for us it was almost $20 bucks a person. Just not worth it. The only thing that was descent was the bacon, but hard to screw that up. read more

Wife actually won 250 dollars with the free welcome money they gave us. A rare experience. I also won 20 bucks on the house. This casino was just renovated and we shall return. read more

I was impressed at their expansion. Larger gaming area and a cute café. We had bakery fresh muffins and Starbucks coffee for breakfast and played for a while. We would definitely go back when we're in the Indio/Palm Springs area. read more

I'll give the seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday nights 5 STARS, but the casino itself is just okay. It's quite smokey which sucks. It's small, so it can get very crowded. The machines are very stingy. Grinch-like even. (Before his heart grew 3 sizes, that is). The table games are okay. The Spanish 21 is fun, but they only have 1 table which is always full. Needs improvement. read more
