Wizards Casino

Good food, great place to get cheap drinks, $ 500 high hand mon n wed, lots n lots of free money, fun place to have fun. Very good day n nite life. Poker tournament everyday at noon n Thursday nite. Lots of promotion everyday.

Wizards Casino is a great place to hang out. They have Blackjack, Pai Gow, Poker, etc. I played the noon Texas hold’em tournament for only $ 35 and made second place. I ended cashing out over $ 600. As a female poker player, I felt so comfortable with the friendly players and employees.
Service was great and they have a huge Chinese menu. So many promotions and cash giveaways as well. I’ll definitely be going back soon!

Hanging out with friends. Excellent food. Fantastic promos and giveaways. The most lively and entertaining room around. If you enjoy Crazy poker action, this is the place for sure!!!

The crowd here is a bit rowdy, but the drinks are very stiff. Nice place if you wanna get drunk with one drink!

If you can get past the high probability of being robbed between the parking lot and the door you can enter to be given a poker lesson before starting. They need to stress the rules are very strict they say. But when it comes down to it the dealers are more worried about handing out one round penalties for playing out of turn then they are of people talking constantly after they fold and influencing the game. I watched it happen for the first four rounds with other players before it finally happened to me on an all in. He wasn’t going to call but he was talked into it by the regulars only to hit his two outer on the river. The guy who wouldn’t shut up the entire game told me afterwards he just likes to see cards flying and wants everybody to call. If that’s not influencing the game what is? Crappie slow poker, maybe it was just a bad night. I won’t go back. Thanks.

Not sure about getting food here– I think I ordered chicken strips once and it was ok. It’s sort of in a semi sketchy part of town next to the run down bowling alley. I never really gamble there but they have a few tables. Best part of this place is 6−9pm you call it happy hour $ 1 beers everyday. At least that’s what it was a year ago when I used to live near by. So worth it!

I was turned off by how unprofessionally run this place is. Food is mediocre at best, the worst «runny» honey walnut shrimp I’ve ever tried.
It disturbed me that there were people eating right under the game tables. The management somehow allows this to happen? One lady would lower her head and use her fingers to grab a morsel of food parked on an empty player’s chair during times the dealer would shuffle or deal the cards on the table. And then she would use those same fingers to play her cards.
One Asian female pit boss or manager was a complete joke. She wouldn’t keep track of the buy-​ins properly and I wouldn’t be surprised if she just simply rounds up or guesses the comps — all according to her fluctuating mood. I’ve always been treated well with respect and appreciation from different casinos as a player. Never had issues with any of the employees — in fact I’m used to enjoying the little friendships between the familiar faces. I was completely taken back by her rudeness and condescending attitude when I tried to ask her about how the hundreds $ of extra buy ins the other night didn’t change the comps from the day before– the male employee who was on the floor while I had extra buy-​ins had assured me that I was going to get additional comp credit for those — she had no regard for that whatsoever.
Extremely poor customer service and lack of class all around. Drink servers were nice, to be fair.

Fun and a great place to come and kick it. Matthew is sooo awesome, a great bartender.

Had a great time, the bartender Angela was awesome!!! Coming back just to see her! Great time!

Quiet little casino. Grabed a late night snacky. I believe I ordered the tallest chicken nachos in the Northwest. VERY TASTY the chicken and toppings A+. However the key to good nachos is not have plain tortillas left after you eat the top layer. This wasn’t the case lots of chips left over but still it was a great snack. THANKS WIZARDS.

Wizards offers the best drink deal there is. It is a fun place to socialize, and the staff is always outgoing. Check out the happy hours and many different monthly promotions. The menu also offers a variety of food including a full Chinese menu with experienced Chinese cooks.

I came here the other day to meet up a few friends after work.
We were able to squeeze in for happy hour $ 1 beers! Cheap brew is always an extra star in my book.
Played some Blackjack for about an hour or two, very friendly dealers that actually pop you a smile once in a while. Would of probably taken home some $ if my friend wouldn’t stop taking all my cards. But you win some you lose some.
Wizards, what can I say, definitely be back for the next happy hour!

Not bad of a place for a casino. I liked the fact that they have various of food at the bar at night. I’m not a gambler but I will be back to make sure I try to get a better experience. The bartenders were great, the drinks a little high considering this is in Burien I thought the drinks would be a bit lessor. But, I will be taking my mother over here.

They be back in business! Friendly waitstaff, and I won a little cash last time I was in…

I came here to play poker because I heard there was new management and because Billy Okomoto & Pepper Uno originally from Diamond Lil’s are managing the poker. The asian food was very good and it leans towards a vietnamese/​chinese menu and of course your standard american burgers and fries menu. What I loved is that they have balut /​ht vt ln here for $ 1 and there’s a Player’s Card buffet on Sundays and it’s included it. LOL

Ok. You may be looking at the other reviews, like Kiki M’s, and asking yourself who IS this fool giving Wizards 5 stars? Well for you, I deliberately slug my $ 1 happy hour Bud Light down my over-​35 year-​old alcoholic gullet so that I can show off my glistening greasy dirt-​logged fingernails… straight at ya babe! *Wink*
I have to say, the place does have character. It’s great people watching. People here seem to be pretty serious gamblers, so if you don’t gamble, you might get a bit bored… unless you go to the BAR, of course! On the other hand, it doesn’t seem depressing to me. People eat, drink, and gamble away. They smile. They concentrate on their game. They talk to each other. It’s a casino, after all!
The staff are accommodating and friendly. I have never been treated with anything less than friendly and attentive there, even though the waitresses might be running around all over trying to serve the entire floor and the bar at the same time.
The gambling floor-​space is a bit oddly-​laid out, a bit cramped in spots, but it’s still comfortably cozy.
Wizards re-​opened under new management last year, and I believe it has made at least one tremendous improvement… the food.
Now this isn’t fancy-​schmancy 5-​star cuisine. You can go to a Las Vegas casino for that treatment. But it IS a very interesting menu serving mostly asian-​inspired dishes of all kinds, and a full menu of american items as well, including breakfast. There are other casinos that have a similar asian-​inspired/​american menu, but I’ve never seen a menu quite like this.
I am a huge soup fan, and they have so many different varieties of soup, I’m not sure I could even count them. It’s enough to get me all steamy. This is perhaps the only place where I’ve seen phở served alongside many other asian-​inspired soups of origins I can’t quite figure out. Korean? Chinese? It’s hard to tell for sure.
Today, I had their special: The Duck soup. Tender, perfectly cooked pieces of duck are served over a huge plate of some kind of marinated cabbage (not really Korean kim-​chi, and not too spicy, so I’m not sure what this is.) It was a big plate of it with the duck nicely laid out on top, but at first I was all… THAT’S NOT SOUP! Until the waitress brought out a second, HUGE bowl of broth and noodles. Whoa. What army am I supposed to feed here? Well, I hear the Libyan rebels could use some help, but that’s an aside.
This is kind of a make-​your-​own soup. The soup had a tremendous variety of flavors, including ginger, cilantro, mushrooms, and with the marinated cabbage in there, the bright and slightly pickled flavor with the broth perfectly opened up the darker, more robust earthy flavor of the duck. And all this for around $ 12.
I have had several different types of soups here, and I’m telling you, whoever is cooking and presenting these soups, knows what they’re doing. I haven’t a clue if they are authentic in any way, but man are they good.
But they don’t just do soup, of course. You can get so much from their broad menu from a chicken-​pesto sandwich for around $ 8 to ravioli for about $ 12 to steaks for around $ 15 to loaded 5-​item omelets for $ 8. They have marinated quail. Quail! They have lobster! They have a beef-​ginger hot pot that’s not really a hot pot, more like a stir fry! And guess what people say about that? Yup. It’s REALLY good.
Somebody mentioned that as a vegetarian it’s hard to find a lot of variety. While the menu IS meat-​heavy, there is plenty more for vegetarians than fries, mozzarella sticks, and onion rings that came from the freezer section… in fact, I don’t even remember seeing these on the menu. There is tofu and vegetable dishes and cheese omelets and such. I’m not vegetarian so I can’t speak for one. Still, I think the new management must have hired a new cook, and changed the menu… and the food is GOOD. Ok?
All worked up about this… AREN’T you?! Well, you’ll just have to trust me because there is no website for Wizards with sleak page designs and wide-​angle photos to give you some glitzy preview. No. You’ll just have to go and partake in the Wizard’s magical experience ALL to yourself. It is open 24 – 7 after all (the restaurant is «only» open from 11am-​4am).
See ya there. I’ll be in the corner of the bar winkin’ at ya with a drink in my hand, showing off those shiny fingernails just for you! If I’m not passed out yet, at least.
PROS: Friendly, attentive staff serving up one of the more interesting menus I’ve seen in a long time (for a «regular» place, anyway), and with very good food. It’s a casino. People gamble.
CONS: If you can call it a «con», It’s a scene with a lot of regulars as diverse as the menu is, that might not share your demographic. But so what? It’s a casino. People gamble. Welcome to America.

Wizards is wack

Wizards is the type of place you’d go if you want to be amongst people you know have had a hard strenuous day at work: middle-​aged construction workers, diner waitresses past their prime, mechanics in their mid-​life crises. This is a blue collar joint in every sense of the word. If you are a young professional, this bar isn’t for you. If you are under 35, this bar isn’t for you. If you have a little dirt under your nails, have a penchant for gambling, and the intense desire to start drinking the minute you wake up, this bar is for you.
I had seen Wizards plenty of times but never ventured in because it is a casino and I don’t gamble. I’d rather waste my money on more functional things like high heels and booze. One Friday night after work, and really needing a drink to unwind from the week, my co – worker suggested Wizards and I curiously, yet cautiously, accepted her invitation.
My co-​worker hadn’t made it yet, so I walk into Wizards and take a brisk tour through the casino area. Card tables are scattered about and as I make a loop back to the entrance I see pull tabs. I get to the bar and find it to be a similar to many bars I have been a patron of. So this wouldn’t be such a frightening experience after all. If gambling isn’t your thing there are two pool tables, a dart machine, and a huge jumbotron sized tv.
I get to the bar to order myself a libation. It was happy hour which occurs every day from 4−7pm and as a result of that my Bud Light was only $ 1. Talk about recession prices! I feel like a winner and I don’t even gamble! My co-​worker joins me at the bar with her Yukon Jack and cranberry juice in tow. I need food in my belly if I am getting my drink on. Appetizers were 25% off and as a vegetarian I unfortunately didn’t have much to choose from. It was either mozzarella sticks, onion rings, or fries so I ordered a sampler plate with all three snacks. My food arrived and it was typical frozen food fare which I couldn’t be disappointed in. I wasn’t expecting high quality food here.
Despite my initial hesitation, I spent about three hours at Wizards. My co-​worker and I talked, ate, continued to drink our outrageously cheap drinks, played some pool tabs (my co-​worker won about $ 7) and had a nice conversation with an older patron. I will probably visit Wizards again because it is hard to find the willpower to pass up $ 1 beers.
