Riverside Casino & Golf Resort®

This is a nice, newer, casino near Iowa City Iowa. The restroom and dining facilities are very clean and the food is great. The atmosphere is just about right. Just enough Glitz and glitter to get you in the mood for a casino experience but not overdone. If you get tired of the casino they have a nice golf course too. The only down side is that the times I've been there they seem to be a little under-staffed at the table games.

My most recent trip to Riverside Casino was two days ago. I went with a friend who is a more experienced video poker player than I am. Neither of us goes to the casino alone, and I had finally finished a time-sensitive project, so it was a perfect time for the easy drive from Iowa City. The casino and dining area are large, bright, welcoming and immaculately clean. I've never stayed in the hotel, but my friend and his visiting brothers often do so when they want a longer gaming session. He reports that the rooms are more than adequate and are perfect for overnight visits to the casino. The dining area offers various specials during the week and the selection of menu items is large and varied. The staff are always friendly and unobtrusive--there when you need them, but otherwise not intrusive. The casino also offers regularly scheduled musical performances in the bar/dance area. The bands cover a range of genres, with frequent performances by bands from the 70's and 80's (Cowsills, anyone? Gary Puckett and the Union Gap? The Turtles?). I've never been, but my friend is a former musician so he and his wife regularly attend for an evening of music and dance ("It's great fun!"). So all-in-all, Riverside Casino can provide a variety of social activities--it's a perfect place for a short get-away during the cold of winter and the heat of an Iowa summer.

Very fun atmosphere. Dealers get very involved making it a fun place. Slot machines tend to pay often. Food is great. Bar staff see you a few times and start to remember what you are having and get it ready for you without asking. Free music is always good. I will continue to visit.

Riverside is a really nice casino. The rooms are really neat. They have huge, glass, showers with electric curtains that close around it. Nice variety of slots. Could be a little more generous with the pay outs. Pretty tight! Great food. One of the best buffets. And u have to try the cake batter ice cream. Nothing like it anywhere. Really! Short trip from Iowa City were my husband is in the hospital. And with the discount coupons that we get in the riverside monthly flier, it just makes sense to stay here at Riverside Casino. All around nice place.

Love going there. Only thing miss some of the old bands that use to play there. Too many tribute groups. Need a bigger lounge area and dance floor. Not good seating. Hope that’s next to be remodeled. Always is clean and service is awesome.
