The new Snoqualmie Casino is struggling, as detailed in this article http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2009945847_snoq26m.html.
Even though the view is nice, there's not much reason for someone to make the drive as there are joints in the greater Seattle area with the same or marginally better BJ games and there aren't any hotel rooms. BJ is all 8D w/o LS. The craps odds are 3-4-5 and there are no video poker machines. Even SP21 is poor. This was supposed to be "Vegas in the Sno" according to the VP of Marketing, Matt Gallagher, a casino veteran. It would be interesting to see if offering some decent games and playing conditions with LV rules would create a reputation as a gamblers casino and generate enough new business to make a difference.
