Don't even try this place on the weekend. Instead, take the Metra from Union Station during the week. You will be thankful when you see how crowded the boat is even on a Tuesday morning. On the weekends, crowds line up to get their free ticket to get on the actual gaming boat. You will find the usual array of slots and table games. If you don't want to gamble, you can catch live acts at the horseshoe-shaped bar on the main floor, grab food at one of the restaurants or take in a flick in the three-screen multiplex.

As the name implies, this is a Hollywood themed operation, with movie memorabilia, posters and other decorations strewn around the casino and entrance pavilion. But who comes to look at that? As far as games go, the casino offers a decent two-deck blackjack game, but the dealers will shuffle up if they suspect you of counting, and they suspect everyone. You are probably better off fighting your way against the six-deck shoe, which has limits starting at $5 rather than the $10 at the two-deck tables. Slot payback rates are comparable with other casinos in the region, and tend to change depending on how the competition is doing. You can also play slots, Caribbean stud poker and press your luck in the "double down" video poker machines. The steak house is pretty good, but do not expect a complimentary meal from these guys, not even for the buffet. For entertainment, there is the casino-owned Paramount Arts Center across the Fox River. The casino is easily accessible by Metra train from Union Station in Chicago, but it is kind of a long ride, especially on the way back. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The 70,000 square-foot pavilion of his Indiana operation is owned in conjunction with its neighbor, The Majestic Star Casino, but, other than that, these are two distinct operations. There is not much in the way of style, class or panache in Trump's modern casino, just lots of clanging slot machines and mediocre-to-poor blackjack games. If you want to try your luck but do not have a car, you can catch one of the free buses operated by Trump that will pick you up at various points in the city. Call to find out details.
