The Casino at Nemacolin sits inside the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort at Farmington, in the Laurel Highlands about forty miles south-east of Pittsburgh. It rates 3.7 from around 1,800 Google reviewers.
If you are looking for Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin, this is the same floor under its current name.
Set your expectations correctly
That 3.7 rating is worth unpacking, because it says less about the casino than about the setting.
Nemacolin is a 2,200-acre luxury resort — one of the most expensive and most decorated resorts in the eastern United States. Guests arrive with resort expectations and then find a 500-machine casino, which is smaller than most highway racinos. The gap between the two produces disappointed reviews.
Judged as what it actually is — a well-appointed gaming amenity inside a luxury resort, rather than a destination casino — it is perfectly good. Judged as a casino you would drive to for its own sake, it is not.
What's on the floor
500 slot, keno and video poker machines and 22 table games.
Twenty-two tables is a genuinely respectable pit for a floor this size, covering blackjack and roulette through to craps and poker-based table games. There is a high-limit gaming lounge with elevated blackjack and slot options, which fits the resort's clientele.
There is no poker room and no bingo. The floor is compact enough to cross in a minute, and on a weekday afternoon you will rarely wait for a machine or a seat — which is part of the appeal for resort guests who want an hour of gaming rather than an evening of it.
The Royale is the casino's sports bar and grill — pub-style food, late-night bar service and flatscreens.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble, the minimum age at every Pennsylvania casino.
The casino is not open around the clock. It runs 9am to 2am daily. That is a short day by Pennsylvania standards and worth planning around if you are staying at the resort and expecting a late session.
The resort itself is the reason to be here. Nemacolin runs golf, a spa, shooting and off-road driving alongside the accommodation, and the casino is one amenity among many rather than the centrepiece.
The drive is the other consideration. Farmington is about forty miles south-east of Pittsburgh through the Laurel Highlands — beautiful in summer, slow in winter. Come for the resort and treat the casino as a bonus; the reverse does not work.
