Louisiana Downs Casino, Racing & Entertainment

Haven’t been there in years. Let me say it’s a far cry from what it used to be. The slots they have are old and tight. If you’re used to Vegas slots you might as well walk away. All the flashy slots are gone and all that’s left are slots from 30 years ago. I’m not sure why they took them out. You might find one or two “newer” machines but they are usually taken. Anyway, to say the experience was bad is an understatement.

Louisiana Downs is primarily a Racino (Slots Casino and Horse Racing). There is also no Company Hotel on the premises. Great Food and Drinks and a variety of new Slots Machines. If you like Horse Racing and Slots, then this is the place to visit. Ample Dining is available. The staff at both the Casino and Racing Venue is very courteous and do everything to make your visit a memorable one.

Went to Louisiana Downs yesterday 02/01/20 with my husband, son, daughter in law, and 5 year old grandson. Had made reservations at the Harrah's Club for 12:30 to eat lunch before the races started at 1:00. When we arrived and got off the elevator on the 3rd floor where the Harrah's Club is located it was completely empty! No one there! Went downstairs and was told the Harrah's Club would not be open until thoroughbred racing starts on May 2, 2020! Was very disappointed!

Harrah’s has a reputation for allowing you to receive many hits on the slots but mainly returning less than you bet. It’s fun and helps sustain your funds longer. However, don’t expect to win big bonuses on small to medium bets. We were able to gamble for five hours and break even.

Very lively casino, plenty of choices with the newer slots, no parking problems, good food chices, lots of action.
