    This was my first time to the area and the casino - and driving up this way there's not much around before the casino just kind of appears. Not a problem for me, but if you are looking for a food option other than what is in the casino, you may be out of luck. I didn't wander around. There are several options for food - coasters sports bar, buffet, nice steakhouse, and a Dunkin right next to the casino entrance. We hit all of these - the buffet for breakfast which was good, PJ Clark's for the steak, and coasters twice for food and lunch. For me I hit Dunkin as well for a matcha latte one night. Overall, I liked this place, the rooms had some wear - paint chipping here and there but the common areas were clean and kept up properly. As for the casino - it's not the biggest but gets the job done - and several of us were very lucky in our betting. Dealers were nice, I had no issue there. Would return. Thanks for adding to my casino chip Collection.

    Tioga Downs bring great concerts at affordable prices. $20 wow!!! Fun with my sister and Aunt at the Three Dog Night concert at Tioga Downs. They sang a gentle song for the kids of WAR "Can you hear the voices of the children" and many many of their hits.

    This casino was very lively and had an exciting horse race track as well! The horse racing bets were pretty straightforward and easy to understand once you get the hang of it. The races all happened pretty quickly and there was little down time between them, so you weren't sitting around waiting for a long time. The bar here was soooo cheap and I got rail drinks for under $4. Coming from DC I was shocked and amazed at these prices. The drinks were well mixed and they weren't too light on the alcohol even though the drinks were super cheap. The casino had great people working the tables and they were all lively and had great personalities. One table dealer in particular Lyman had a huge crowd at this table and was very helpful with explaining rules as we all played. Even though I lost money here, it was still a great experience!

    Nice place but nothing to do nearby-it was a long trip to get to the casino. Food is good and room was also nice.

    I like the hotel rooms. I am new to gambling so while the casino might be small it doesn't seem that way to me. I enjoy playing some slots

    Ask the Community - Tioga Downs Casino Resort

    Does anybody know what the usual payouts are for the Saturday and Sunday poker tournaments are?

    The Saturday tournament, which is $55 and starts at seven, has a prize pool around $500 usually and the Sunday tournament, which has a $55 buy in and starts at noon, is usually in the neighborhood of $1400-$1500 prize pool, except the first Sunday… 

    Can anyone tell me if drinks are free if you gamble on the slot machines? Thanks!

    No, alcoholic drinks are not free and according to the monthly letter from the owner, they are not planning to offer free drinks in the future. That being said, waters, sodas, coffee, etc are free on the gaming floor.

The sand traps (dirt traps?) are showing the black netting underneath and turn into ponds for days after it rains. There are dead trees galore and those that aren't dead haven't been pruned in decades. The wooden fences are all falling down and the bridges are in such a state of disrepair as to be scary. One of the ponds is covered in scum and another gets so low that it reeks. Pond and stream banks looking a bit unkempt? Herbicide them all. Geese on the greens? Hire a buddy to shoot them. The cut grass is left in yellowing clumps. Any asphalt, concrete, downed trees, tees or busted balls just get dumped on the perimeter. Absolutely terribly maintained over the years. If anyone doubts this, I'll post pics.

    Everything takes on a darker vibe when you add the words "at a casino."…read more One thing you have to know about me is that I am not a gambler. Long ago I learned something interesting about myself. Yes, it's fun to win money. And yes, it's sad to lose money. But for me, the pain of losing money is greater than the joy of winning. That simple calculous keeps me away from tables, from putting coins in machines, or from laying down bets on sporting events. I came to Mohegan for the promise of a nice adults-only hotel at a low price. And for this, it was quite good. But Matthew U. hit the nail on the head about the smell of cigarettes. That was jarring. The room was fine, but the lobby not so much. Somehow I kinda forgot that people still smoke cigarettes. Honestly, this would be a four star review if I had not been tempted to check out the casino floor. Mostly, I thought it would be fun to look at the lights, people watch a bit, and maybe grab a drink at the bar before turning in for the night. That was a mistake. Sure, there was the smoke. But more than that, nobody looked like they were having a good time. Everyone looked sad. Some folks looked desperate. Others looked bored. Casinos exist because they make money. They make it by taking more than they give away. I feel like casinos may be a tax for people who are bad at math, or think the rules of mathematics somehow magically do not apply to them. All of the seats at the bar had screens built into them, so I didn't see any place to sit that wasn't in front of a slot machine. Ick. This clearly wasn't my scene. After a couple laps around the circle, I went back to my room to turn in for the night. The next morning when I was checking out, the clerk told me I hadn't used my $10 meal voucher, which could be used at the coffee shop. That was nice of them. I used it to order a ridiculous off-menu coffee drink, adding shots of espresso to push up the total. The coffee shop folks were lovely. What was less lovely was seeing an additional $15 resort fee added to my card when my Orbitz reservation was supposed to cover all fees in my booking. But at the moment I'm not sure if that's a Mohegan issue or an Orbitz one. Still, if I were in the area without kids, and the rate was right, I'd probably go back and stay at the hotel. Nice, clean, and reasonably well appointed room.

This spot is literally the size of a larger garage or barn - teal in color with parking area on the side. I was trying to think of what to compare this to but I can't think of anything. You walk in and see a very small room of slot machines (approx. 60) and what looks like a bunch of locals, who many appear to know each other but in a small town this isn't surprising. There is very friendly staff that walk around offering mini bottles of water, a fridge with complimentary water, free coffee in the back and some vintage vending machines. I also saw an ATM machine there. Now the machines didn't appear that "loose" compared to other locations but I did end up doubling my money, winning a whopping $20. I am not much of a gambler, so I cannot speak too much on that aspect. My parents didn't win any money and they were doing Max bets on several machines, lost around $80. They did have some fun games such as an Edgar Allen Poe machine, which I haven't seen before. If you come here expecting a full size casino or anything like Del Lago, Finger Lakes or Batavia locations then you will be sorely disappointed - this is a tiny location without any frills just slots. Overall the workers here were very friendly as was the general feel to the location, so from 2 stars I have rated it a 3. Do not drive out of your way to come here, if you aren't already in the area. Good Luck if you're playing!

    I love this place. I don't always win but I have fun trying. We call it the tiny casino.read more

We stayed in Room 734 from April 10-13 and paid over $1,000 for what was supposed to be a romantic getaway. Unfortunately, the condition of the room was extremely disappointing. The room was not clean or well maintained. There were stains on the ceiling, soot on the wall above the fireplace, and the door was in terrible condition, dirty on the inside and peeling on the outside. The TV in the bedroom even had a black line going through the picture. The biggest issues were with the pool and tub. The pool jets didn't work, and the ladder had a missing step, which made it difficult and honestly unsafe to get out of the pool. I personally struggled getting out because of this. The "champagne glass" tub also had a yellow stain where the water comes out, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness. We brought these issues to the front desk and were told there were no rooms available to switch to. We were also told a manager would call us to discuss compensation, but we never received a call back. For the amount of money we spent, this experience was unacceptable. I understand that things can go wrong, but the lack of maintenance, cleanliness, and especially customer service is what stood out the most. Very disappointing experience overall.
