- ⭐️ 5/5 "What fun! The staff is amazing. Everybody is so nice? I've met interesting people at this casino. Someone asked about tribal IDs. The guy told me they will absolutely try. Come on by and they'd work something out. I really like this staff! I don't care who's playing if they win I get so excited! Lol"
- ⭐️ 3/5 "Not the best casino experience. Selection of machines are so-so however they are under construction and I'm from Cleveland so there rocksino is complete and the bomb. So I anticipate by the looks to be one fabulous casino even better then Cleveland."
- ⭐️ 1/5 "The slots are too tight. They do not have any good slots like dragon link in the nonsmoking section. Soda drinks are flat. Seating is too close. Bathrooms are not convenient to get too. The restaurants are very good. The personnel are very polite. The facility is clean. Plenty of parking spaces."
- ⭐️ 1/5 "Will not return. The tables allowed one person to fill/play more than one spot. We came from Tennessee and waited for a time and plan to never return to Bristol. Love Cherokee NC and Kentucky, plus mush more beautiful locations."
