Dotty’s Casino

this establishment is a nice place 2 hang out… if they allowed ‘hangin out’.
i recently had some guests from my bed and breakfast went out for dinner and drinks, i played $ 40 and then went up and ordered a drink, they brought my drink out to me, a local aquaintance came up and asked me for a couple dollars. i cashed out my ticket to get change to give him some money. when i went back in after dinner, joey (the bartender) informed me he couldnt serve me, i asked why he said he wasnt sure, but it was ordered by the manager DAVID that he INEVITABLY can not serve me. i was NOT intoxicated and now he has ordered that NO ONE serve me alcohol OR energy drinks! I HAVE NEVER BEEN VISIBLY INTOXICATED ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC!!!
I ALSO SPEND «ALOT» OF MONEY GAMBLING HERE!!!
I WOULD «NOT» RECOMMEND THIS DOTTYS.
and i have made it a point NOT to gamble here if i can help it!

Extremely rude service and rude employee. Watched an employee kick other people out for absolutely ridiculous reasons and was insulting to my friends when they tried to take advantage of their advertised special, and loudly talked about us rudely to another table. Unbelievably unprofessional, I recommend you spend your money elsewhere if you want to be in a professional friendly environment.

Came in on a Tuesday Night. Only one person working, Joey. He was absolutely amazing running around and working very hard. Never left us without a drink, welcomed us immediately and was very attentive and friendly. He is the reason we will be coming back. Games were average, small place, won a little in the time there. Cigarette and drink prices were great.

I took my whole family from New Jersey we had a wonderful experience and a great time highly would recommend the casino the food and the service all were excellent

It’s fun it’s quiet the service is perfect. Joe and randy are awesome
We are here every day for a little keno and coffee, the boys know what we like and when we like it.
They make you feel like family!

Dottys is the best for a quick drink or spending a little money on the slots! Not to mention they have one of tahoes best bartenders Joey! Dottys has the most inexpensive top shelf drinks and cigarettes! But they are CASH only and yes they have an ATM but it has a fee!

This is in the old «Bills Casino» location. A very unique gambling experience. Think of your Grandma, then think of your Grandma’s house, then think of your Grandma’s living room with slot machines in between shelves of knickknacks and plastic potted plants. That’s Dotty’s Casino.
The patrons are mostly made-​up of locals who look like they are gambling with their last dollar or their welfare check (or perhaps both) while drawing on their lucky strikes.
Around the 1^st of each month expect to see lots of wheel-​chair bound gamblers hooked up to oxygen tanks.
On the positive, The staff is friendly (though minimal) and they seem to know most of their customers by their first names. The casino tends to play music from the 60’s and 70’s. Plus it is the cheapest place at the lake to buy cigarettes. There is parking behind the casino which is basically in the center of the casino corridor.

PARKING: There’s an outside parking lot in the back by entering the Harrahs entrance driveway then veer left.
ENTER?: You have to press a doorbell to be let in. Weird. Says they have to check ID on a sign, but nobody came to check. They just buzzed us in and the door unlocked.
INSIDE: Not your typical big lights and décor casino. More like grandma’s country living room with video poker machines.
Counter looks like the wood counter at a bowling alley with a bunch of stuff behind it. One guy manning it. Quiet just the sound of video gambling machines beeping.
OVERALL: Seems more for people who want more of a quiet chill less crowded environment, but I didn’t like it. Seemed run down and old fashion in a rutty sort of feel.

I was insulted by the lady behind the register. I went in to get my Dotties players card and after I used the bathroom I was accused of being the person who dumped poop on the floor. I would never do such a thing. I used to really like Dotties. Now I never want to go back. I told her no I wouldn’t ever do that and then she even accused me a second time. When I find out her name I am going to call a manager. I think it’s Tara. Anyways i left crying and i really dislike the way i was treated. She should be sure before accusing the wrong vvperson. She needs to take a class on customer service. I hope the manager or owner reads my review so they know what’s going on in their casino.

Really small casino that’s decorated like your crazy aunt’s house. Surrounded by ceramic cats, these slots are cheaper than the bigger casinos that surround it and the inside is significantly less smoky.

Little hole-​in-​the-​wall place that apparently, all the locals frequent.
Not too many machines and they were all spread out. They have a small menu to order from if you find yourself hungry. I’ve heard that they are really good at getting you drinks during your gamble time but we were there for 30 minutes and no one came for drink service.
This place is very quiet, good I guess for people who really want to concentrate on their gambling? Wasn’t so lucky at this place last weekend but maybe I’ll try again next time.

What a funky little place and I love it. If you don’t like the large casino atmosphere, try this place. I was so very bummed when Bill’s closed as that was my favorite place in SLT because it was smaller and more friendly and less intimidating. While I know you never win on slots, I seemed to lose less there. However, this place is very different — kind of like a little old town meeting place. Lounge chairs by a fire, a food/​beverage stand and a handful of slots. quiet and nice.

Cheapest drinks in Lake Tahoe. Love this place!

This Dotty’s location seems to have more socializing space than the other two locations I’ve visited – most noticeably from the semicircle of six cushioned-​chairs facing a simulated fireplace. Its theme is «grandma’s country home» as seemingly all Dotty’s are.
As my visit was on the Memorial Day morning, there were few people here.
For low-​stakes players, the video poker odds are terrible, with 94.8% payback for Deuces Wild, and a 5-​cent Jack or Better «6−5» pay table with 95.5% payback.
However, $ 1 Jacks or Better has a «9−6» pay table with 99.5% payback.
The attendant there during my visit was friendly and knew the location’s history of once being Barney’s Casino, then Bill’s Casino.

There is no phone number to contact them

What the heck is this place?
To me imagine grandmas country kitchen with casino games and office chairs to sit at the machines. I walked by many times and could not figure out this oddball spot. Power to those who can.
