Chinook Winds Casino Resort

Fun exciting casino right on the beach in Lincoln City Oregon. Can't find a better location. Casino has live events, contests, and much more. Would highly recommend this place if you wanna have some fun. The hotel is a really good value, nice rooms, with a really good restaurant. It sits right on the beach next to the casino there are terraces to sit outside and watch the ocean. 1 minute walk to be on the beach.

This place is trash. It's a motel 6; with a view of the ocean. The casino and hotel are not connected. Food and service is less than par. Do not waste your time staying here when there are way better options near by. If you read this review and still as stay here, it on you for making a bad choice with being warned in advance. The rooms look like are from the 80s. All the doors to the rooms are outdoor facing like a cheap motel. Again this is your chance to choice a way better option. Good luck don't stay here. Looks at the hallway into the rooms. No locks really on the doors. The phone is located behind the TV. Not even on the night stand because the phone jack is not in the right spot. What are we doing here? The trashcan is huge in the bedroom like 20 gallons huge. Clearly no thought or energy has been put into upkeep of the crap motel. It is 1:30 am and I am in the room writing this. Just found pubic hair on the side of the bathtub as well. Photos included .That's how bad you can tell this place is. Save your vacation. Look at the grill grate in the room. Tried to call the front desk and ask for some assistance was told no one is on staff except security by Andrea... What!? So if my room key doesn't work I am screwed until the morning because security cannot program anew key but can just open your door for you. As there is no safety at all on the doors.

The buffet is closed and this is a $9.50 margarita at the new cafe. Lol. I can understand not offering a buffet, but I ordered the shrimp bowl with chili sauce. It was a small portion. The first bite I took was cool (temp) the next bite was warmer. The waitress offered to get more heat on it, but we had waited a while for our food to arrive already. It wasn’t good and the dish was loaded with onions and had a boiled egg on it. Nothing special at all for $19.00. Smallish, not hot and not tasty. This will be a one-and-done eating experience for so many people. I posted a pic of our margarita which was 6ozs and $9.50. Epic mark up on both items. We only ordered one drink and our two meals cost $58.00.

Walked into the room and it smelled like an ashtray. Thank goodness the windows were able to be left open. The carpet was stained and one of the table chairs was stained. I ended up putting a towel over it to sit on it. Bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. One positive was that we saw 2 bunny’s eating outside our window. . I will not stay there again.

Long story short we had a family emergency and needed to cut the stay early. CWCR was kind enough in charging us for only one night versus the full reservation. Thank you! Lots of kudos to the nice receptionist wearing the Surf City 2025 lanyard - you were so helpful, nice and very understanding. You also took care of us the last time we stayed at the casino :) On a different note - We stayed at CWCR for Surfie 2025 in a junior suite that was really nice, super clean and we had a great stay……however The room we recently got seemed neglected. There were only a couple K-cups in the room and the two chairs at the small table were heavily stained to the point we had to put towels down to sit on them. Considering how filthy the chairs were, we could only imagine what was on the carpet and then some. Also, to us, there was a bunch of black gooey substance on a table that perhaps may have been from someone cleaning a pipe that probably wasn’t used for tobacco. Know what I mean? So my point is, maybe it would be a good idea to have staff make a list of rooms that require some extra cleaning? How about look into purchasing a portable steam cleaner that staff can use to take care of stains and such before the room gets occupied? I understand carpet/upholstery cleaning can be costly, especially if having to do it all the time but you know at a $150 or more a night, your guests expect things to be a little more on par for a non-smoking room.

It's a good casino, clean good amenities. It is not too big so during tourist season it's a bit crowded but always feels safe and well maintained. The staff are always helpful and if you go during off hours or days the dealers will teach you how to play the card games etc. I've been going here for over 20 years now and have always enjoyed it. By the way the restaurant that is outside by the hotel is very good and a great price.

I went to meet family. I had breakfast in the restaurant which very good. My service was provided by Olivia who was very tentative to my needs. She was very kind as well. She made sure everyone was well cared for. Olivia, Thank you for your great service 😊 I didn't stay in a room, so I have no comment on the room. But, the view is beautiful.

Didn't actually stay at the hotel so I don't know how the rooms are. I do like the casino though. Laid out very nicely & they have all my favorite slots. Would have probably given them a 5 star if they hadn't kept so much of my money! 😁😁

Our local casino. Not a bad place. Most employees are really nice. They have some good headliner shows at times. Seems like they always have some construction going on. Don't eat here much, but there is a sub place on the first floor that is really good. Here's the biggest negative. The sportsbook is HORRIBLE. That isn if you'd call it a sportsbook. They removed the employees and now only take bets via machine. These machines are really bad and frustrating. I don't know how you could screw up something so simple, but they managed with these. 1 star for sportsbook. Ugh.

Just got back from a most disappointing visit to this casino. Until today, it was a yearly experience to look forward to. I go with my sister who plays the card games, and to give her time to play I like to hang in the area where KENO tickets are sold at a counter. I buy multiple games and settle in at a table by the counter. That area has been dismantled and KENO is now dispensed via an electronic kiosk. I couldn't figure out how to get a similar experience playing multiple games; and the only tables to use were in the deli area. Then I thought I'd get a similar relaxed sit down experience if I played BINGO. Nope - one does not sit down and play a game. Instead BINGO is sold as a package of multiple games and I'd be paying for games that had already been played. I could have waited 4 hours for the next package. No thanks. I was overwhelmed with the machine choices and was clueless on what to look for. Two years earlier I played a machine that was pretty straight forward, but after wandering both floors, never saw it. Sister said the machines are changed out regularly. So I chose one, read the game play instructions and within 2 minutes donated $30. That was not for me. I don't see how all the senior citizens in the place do it - for hours! After an hour of wandering, my fun-meter was pegged out and I went to find my sister. She had good luck at the Ultimate Texas Hold 'em table and was just about ready to leave when I showed up. I found the staff to be friendly, but there is no longer any joy there for me and I will not be back to Chinook Winds on subsequent trips to Lincoln City.

I've visited Chinook Winds several times over the years and have always had a great experience. I always have really positive interactions with the staff who are really friendly and interactive. I personally like to play bingo and have always had a great time (despite struggling to win!). I've also tried quite a few of their food options, and while not the best food I've ever had, it's good with reasonable prices and friendly service.

*This review is for their casino resort only.* We arrived at the resort a little after 7 PM. It was kind of confusing to figure out exactly where the resort was because the location of the casino was where we thought we might have to go to, but then there were some science pointing to check in further down the road which we followed into a another part of the property. Check-in was pretty easy and we found our room via the signs on the buildings. The parking lot had a lot of stalls, but nothing big enough to keep a camper near our room. The layout of the parking lot was a little strange that you could only enter it from one area even though it expanded all the way to the casino. Our room was interesting to say the least . We had two doors that entered two different sides of the room we had and both keys worked for both doors. It was like a two bedroom two bathroom room. Which was kind of nice for the four of us. There was no Balcony, but you could see the ocean from the room. It was a very windy time during our weekend at the coast, so we didn't spend any time outside on the beach. The room was OK. The bathroom had some spots of mold. The carpet could do with a refresh and the fan in one of our bathrooms rattled. Also, if you kept the window open in one of the rooms, you could hear the wind, whistling all the way in the other bedroom. Our two bedroom room came with two TVs so we could watch different shows. But we spent 12 hours here so it wasn't really a long stay for us. Overall, for the price, it was a pretty good deal. We didn't have any issues with other guests or noise with the room being close to the casino.

Flash and bang reach outside with lights and scrolling signs of who's playing that evening at the entertainment center. You walk in and it's just like stepping into a giant video. Hundreds of people sitting at machines and the screens are rolling with images and icons. We went in. We had a lot of fun and as most people we won some and then we lost some, but we had a great time. It was a lot of fun and it's nice to visit Yet another Indian Native American casino. Everyone that worked there was pleasant and had a smile on their face and was very hopeful, giving us directions to locate certain booths and things on the inside so we had a good time. Thank you, Chinook Winds Casino. See you soon.

Traveling the Oregon Coast with a stop here for Father's Day since husband enjoys gambling; should have looked at the reviews before entering. The place has potential especially located right on the ocean but the parking lot is sketchy and the machines literally don't pay. At least let the old machines pay The first thing we did this morning is check that nothing was stolen and nothing was. Great sunset

The restaurant was beautiful the views are breathtaking amazing !! Decent friendly quality service. How ever high end prices for middle of the road food.

Beautiful venue. Its clean and well done. The problem we had was the slots are TIGHT. Other casinos at least give a little play for your money. Not here.

We went for the Little River Band concert and stayed off site for the wkd. Everyone that works at the casino are so nice! There were plenty of open machines and there were a lot winners! More than I've seen in Vegas. I can't wait to go back!!

For a non Vegas casino it was good. Self serve beverage bar was a plus. Beware though, the food is a bit expensive.

Great venue for concert. Comfortable padded seats in deep rows for dancing and leg space. Beware sitting in close on sides due to huge speakers. But even farthest back seats are good. You can bring in drinks to event but bar closest under escalators gets super busy. Steakhouse reservations are good. Take a drink from there!

The staff here are very impolite and you can tell are just fed up with everything and everyone. Last night they refused bottle service to me after being served 1 shot. All because I expressed a bit of emotion from being told I can't have another shot within an hour mark . But I told them hey it's been at least an hour ask the bartender behind you please. Mind you every time in town I go by myself and am getting shots back to back including beers. This time I was with my (Hispanic) family and for whatever reason "Diana" someone who has never said anything to me or never declined service all of the sudden has a problem with me. I gave her a bit of a hard time for it, expressed my feelings and I just had a very bad encounter at the local liquor store a day prior so for another customer representative to hit me with the same energy hit deep. So I was a little sad and she goes " oh really come on, don't cry over a shot now" if that isn't the most rude provoking sentence to say to a customer I don't what is. Then she asked the other bartender if it had been an hour yet which it had & he agreed. I was just giving a bit of feedback from my perception. Then once I expressed my emotions a bit more after what she said , she said yep I'm cutting you off completely. I asked to make a complaint and she brought a whole line of security down to basically tell me ye what she said goes. The other thing that triggered me is that the other bartender "Dallas" goes "I've never seen a grown man cry over alcohol" . Made me regret tipping him! That pissed me off because I was trying to explain to them why I was emotional in the first place that I had just received some really rude service already and how I'm on vacation just trynna relax and let go. But no I couldn't they didn't wanna hear me out basically shut me down and gas lit me. After that I was trying to explain my story to one of the security "Keith" this guy acted as if he cared but really was just trynna lay down more dominance and shut me down so h could move on and laugh about me. Mind you I'm literally telling him everything piece for piece with real raw energy and this guy goes "ye man I get it but you done getting alcohol here tonight " and I said no worries sir that's not the problem here anymore I'm passed the shot it's just the moral of the story I'm trynna explain here. Then was met with a very stern " ok now we're gonna ask you to leave tonight and call it a night " dude went from your cut off for tonight to now you have to leave . When I just got there only had 1 shot and didn't get to do any gambling . I've been here so many times before on other vacations and have never been met with this sour energy and taste in my mouth from those customer service reps and my experience. Yall suck for that and I definitely won't be doing any gambling at night with the same crew I'll take my happy ass to spirit mountain where they are polite .

I stayed here last New Year's Eve for the float find and the staff are super nice but I swear my room was haunted or at least the hotel is haunted! I arrived pretty late on a Friday evening. It was probably 9 PM and was reserved to stay in a different room, but because my party changed, I was moved into another room. I got my room and upon arrival the room is very outdated and dark even with all the lights on it's still very dark. I went in and took a shower, came out and had a bad bloody nose which I NEVER get and for my entire being I've only had maybe 2 or 3 bloody noses if even that! Of course I didn't think nothing of it so I watched TV and then fell asleep.... Only to be rudely awaken by the alarm clock blasting off on its own after midnight!!! this nearly gave me a heart attack but again I didn't think nothing of it and the rest of my day was fine. I didn't have any other issues. It was really strange, almost as if the spirit wanted me to know that they were there, but I wanted them to know that I was harmless.

Several months ago I went to the smoking area in the casino after midnight. I was approached by a lady who said I need to put that out, I said im sorry I will. About 20 minutes later 6 security guards came in the smoking area blocking the exit. One was all gloved up. One approached me and said if I light up that cigar I will be asked to leave. They were not nice and tried to intimidate me and my dad. Wow that lady called in the entire security crew for a supposed cigar. ​

Super Meh. Did it provide what a casino ought to provide? Yes. You can gamble, they have events, you can stay, there is food etc. The people were friendly and the amenities we did not take advantage of sound great, but honestly, the buffet was terrible and the vibe is cramped and did not make me want to spend my money. I do like the fact the games which are not slot machines are less intimidating to join that some places, super laid back not as much of the 'us and Them', but aside from that, there are so many choices, I don't imagine we'll be back much.

I've played at a multitude of casinos and this has to be one of the worst ones I've been to far as payouts go. It was their anniversary night so it was packed shoulder to shoulder. Was hard to find any of the machines I would normally play, so tried some different ones. Bonuses were almost non existent. Betting $1.60 went through $250 before getting a bonus, was starting to think they didn't have them! So after it goes through the spins it paid out $15!!! Wow, thanks, might as well not even given me one. Was only there for maybe an hour because I was so turned off after that. So $400 later and 2 bonuses (the other one paid $5) I left. I liked the layout, and had plenty of tables, but if you're looking to be entertained this isn't the place to go.

Don't waist your time & money! Even with low expectations, totally disappointing. Was there on a Thursday. Only one food outlet open. No one smiled and spoke to us anywhere in the building. Was interested in some ear rings but I think the gift shop lady is racist to white people? Casino floor is sad, dark, dated and boring. Never saw any slots payout regardless of play. Lot of lazy/unfriendly staff wondering around, chatting with each other.

Bingo on a tablet is the way to go! So much fun! Came with my neighbor to meet up with her parents. We are having a blast, they do this all the time and do it on the paper bingo's too. I'm a novice and stuck with just the tablet. I tried the chicken chipotle street tacos with verde sauce and the chicken was very moist with lots of good flavor and juicy. I will definitely be back, I had a lot of fun. We did have to wait 18 minutes for fry bread. Which is a little long, but it's so yummy it's worth it.

I do have to admit after reading some of the reviews on this place I was a little skeptical at first. But yep you do have to wait in line for a beer. But I really never sat at the bar. I was gonna eat upstairs at the selietz restaurant but they were closed at 9pm when I got there. I was bummed but the food court hit the spot with fish and chips with sweet potato fries. The clam chowder was really good and hot.. The cheeseburger was kind of spongy and cold. Slimey too with the ketchup and mustard on it. She liked the fish as it was cod and very lightly battered, hot and not greasy. The lady at the counter at the food court was nice and so was the bar tender down stairs. Oh and the poker tournament was there too. It was cool to play poker in the big ballroom upstairs.

Located in Lincoln City and like all Casinos busy. Plenty of game machines and live betting. The grounds are nice and the casino well kept. We didn't win but didn't lose as what we spent kept us entertained. They do have semi big acts once in a while. But, unfortunately not this weekend.

Hotel review: $280 after tax per room for a $39 motel stay. Rooms have no fan/air conditioner. Very outdated. Opened windows to smell cigarette smokers outside. Casino new and clean Rogue River steakhouse delicious!

I was so pissed off when I was about to put my money in the crap table and another guy just threw the dice and hit my hands, so I lost my money. They will let you win 1 times and then you will lose at least 3 times.

I wish I could give them zero stars, worst place ever ! I can't even call this place a "casino" it's just a terrible and disappointing place to go. Don't spend your money here, it's just not worth it , we came here for my sister in law bachelorette party, never been treated so terribly, please save your money and don't go to this ugly place

Clean and friendly. Somewhat dated but well maintained. Very affordable for beach access hotel room. Casino was fun and we broke even and had a blast.

First of all, the casino is non smoking, if I'd known that we would have gone the first night already. We always go on the last night, cause usually your clothes smell like xxx and it's best to not drag yucky clothes around for the whole weekend. They offer free soda stations and have really cool old school vintage games, like stuff that's decades old. You find real penny slots where you can play 7ct for all rows. That's where the fun stops, our budget usually lasts a good 2 hours at our local casinos up in WA. I'm fully aware that casinos are here to take your money, but it's usually a give and take, you win some, you lose some... Keeps you entertained and that's it. The slots here are tight!!! I mean money grabbing, you are not getting anything back at all tight. We were done with our money in under 30min and that includes walking around and checking things out. Hmmm so, as nice as smoke free is, I'm not really interested in coming back, you gotta make sure people have fun leaving their hard earned money behind. I didn't feel like I had much fun or got my money's worth playing. So it's a no for me

Only 2 stars because on Saturday 11/16/2024 we came up for the Restoration Pow Wow, and we only witnessed one valet person. It was busy, I felt bad for that boy. Wondering why you wouldn't schedule more help for a day like today. We will always come back as we enjoy everything here but please get more staff at the Valet for events.

We did not go to gamble, we stopped here to eat at the buffet for dinner while we were camping at Kelley's Marina. The food was great, we all went back for 3rds. The line was long, they were busy, but they got us in at a decent time. Service was good, workers were friendly, and the ambiance was nice. Lots of families with kids.

It is clear the security let's some camper patrons run their generator after hours. Have to be paying them off!!!! Not something that makes me want to return.

I wrote a review on Trip advisor about staying there and leaving a North face jacket hanging in the closet. When we called them about an hour after we left and realized It was left hanging in the closet. they didn't get back to me until two days later and said they didn't fine any jacket. I was amazed that someone from their staff would steel my jacket. The general manager responded to my post by staying he was sorry I miss placed my jacket; really the only thing hanging in the open room closet was a new north face jacket and he called me a liar by saying I misplaced it. Not true one of his staff stole it plain and simple.

RV camp parking was great....it was free after spending time in the casino. And the ocean a block away!! Large casino.

Mediocre variety of food. Definitely not worth $38. Very dry food, old. Tasteless. I can go on and on. Times have definitely changed.

Well, left Spirit Mountain and usually they out pace Chinook Winds, but no longer! We enjoyed the buffet (they actually still have one) and the casino! This has improved since I was last here a few years ago. Thank you!

We had the Wednesday night buffet and it was plentiful and delicious. The price was reasonable and a short wait to be seated. Lots of choices but the prime rib was the star. I will definitely visit again when in Lincoln City.

I played at the tables for over 3 hours and had some kid come up and started dealing and kicked me off the table because I said fuck!!! Are you kidding me!!!! I will not be back at Chinnoke winds casino ever again spirt mountain casino has always treated me with respect and never kicked me off the tables so again I will never play at chinook winds again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

basically the carnival cruise line of casinos super run down and putting profits over actual enjoyment. Only one poker table open and a bunch of empty blackjack. smells like cigs too don't go again.

Just stayed overnight in the RV area. Very quiet with great ocean views. Willie in Security was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely return !

I normally love casinos and can handle some cigarette smoke but this place is BAD. My eyes seriously started to burn it was so bad. I try not to leave bad reviews but I had to walk out within 10 minutes of arriving. Think I'll stick to Spirit Mountain. Can't rate the service or food as we didn't stick around to find out.

At first I thought I was in for a normal Tuesday afternoon at the chinook winds. When I encountered the slot machines, it came time for topless hour. There is no greater joy than a surprise of this sorts. I guess topless hour is a newly routine thing by management, keeping the regulars guessing as to when they put it on. Because of this, sometimes you'll be able to throw $ on when the next topless hour is. Double the joy when you're on the money.

There was a dog locked in a car on an 75 degree day with the windows barely cracked in the parking lot. He was panting, and obviously hot, so went in and informed the door guy. Dude cut us off before we could finish, saying 'I'm sure he's fine' and shrugged it off. Cool caring bro

So my girl and I went to the casino for a very special evening. And we had dinner there the other night I had the prime rib potato she had a pasta dish. Food was excellent. The funny thing was we found a couple hairs in my food, but we couldn't figure out if it was my girls hair or the waitresses.. the wine we got was great.

Nice small casino on the edge of Lincoln City, behind the Safeway. We came here twice on this trip. First night ...I got my ass handed to mr at the BJ table..but managed to get most back on a machibe. Second night...we came to have the dinner special...sirloin steak & crab for $30.. The casino has a shuttle to get from the main building to the hotel & seafood restaurant...very handy! It took awhile to get seated at the restaurant as the poor womam running tge counter was clearly overloaded with cashier, check in & people calling in togo & room service orders...We finally got seated by the window...great ocean view! Tge waitress was real friendly & the food serice was prompt. Very nice 1/2 ib steak...kinda overseasoned with pepper...but cooked perfectly as I ordered it. The steamed crab 1/2 lb also...was easilly cracked & delicious... After dinner we caught the shuttle back to the casino & got a big chunk of my money back & the balckjack table....A very nice night , indeed!

Ii would give it 5 if they had a working pool or hot tub. But we got a lovely room and Wendy our check in host was delightful and just gave our trip that extra feeling of special. Love staying at the suites. Quiet and lovely views from the balcony. I miss the old kitchen set up but appreciate the larger size fridge and microwave. I'll come back and give it 5 stars if I win big at the casino !

Stayed in the suites. Great view of ocean gas fireplace great walk in shower... casino was spacious and ample slots and table games...my wife won 450.00 on penny machine...who does that? LOL...GOOD BARTENDERS...THEY HAVE HANDICAP AVAILABLE...YOU SHOULD COME...SERIOUSLY!!!

Permanently banned us for complaining about smoke. No consideration for patrons stopped playing at least 3 years The Hotel does not respect non smoking guests. At the time allowed much smoking Lost lots of money from.us for not being smart Most people do not like smoke bad for everyone's health Disrespectful.ost our business Don't waste your tme Thank You

Thank you Siletz Tribal Council for rethinking the smoking policy and going back to nonsmoking. This makes it better for your employees and guests of Chinook Winds Casino. This is a big reason it is better at the beach.

If you don't mind being crowded and not having a bench to sit on our trailer was so close together to the neighbor they had to watch her head when I got out on my slide .it's kind of a nice place is clean could use more washers and dryers.

Every poker or 21 slot machine we played (4-5) had problems. Buttons not lighting up, etc., having to guess which button does what. The touch screen buttons didn't work at all on some of them. I got so frustrated with the last machine I played, I started losing on purpose just to get out of there. To make matters worse, we couldn't play tickets at the machines, and couldn't cash them out in the kiosks. We had to stand in line for several minutes at the cage in order to cash out. The thing that was most disturbing, is to see people lined up at the kiosks especially older people) trying to get their tickets to work. To try and figure out why the management of this place doesn't have the common courtesy to put signs on these machines and kiosks to inform customers they aren't working properly, is beyond me. Chinook Winds... Fix the damn machines or unplug them!

Our family went for the surf and turf buffet last Friday in October. It was excellent. The food was so delicious and the service was great. And my great grandson loved the robot.

Require a Players Card for Bingo. Spent 20 min in a Bingo line to find that out. Then get a Players Card with no Pin. Result - no bingo for me. Off to Spirit Mountain!
