There are two things that MotorCity has going for it over the other two Detroit casinos: it has its own all non-smoking floor of gambling (third floor), and it is by far the easiest casino to reach via the highway and park at. The only game that I have seen $5 minimums for on a semi-regular basis are casino war infrequently there will be a $5 blackjack table, but this is usually raised to $10 in short order.

It seems that the casino is only hurting itself with this situation, as there are some players who simply will not sit at a higher minimum table. Invariably, there are would-be players waiting to be seated at a $10 table while there are plenty of available seats at the $15 and $25 tables. In the early morning hours of almost any day, there is usually only one or two $10 tables to be found. MotorCity Casino claims to have $10 blackjack all the time while this claim is true, it is somewhat misleading. The dealers and pit bosses are usually pretty friendly every casino has a few aloof ones. The casino itself is rather dark, as the lighting is uniformly underused.

Unlike MGM or Greektown casinos, MotorCity is sort of the casino equivalent of the neighborhood tavern, as there are residences surrounding it.
