Their so called food court is unreasonably expensive with again, less than lousy food, kind of disgusting to be honest. The food itself is bland, no taste at all, just something to put in your stomach. * Their buffet, which there was none on my last visit just a few days ago, is less than poor, as far as the food and some of the waiters/waitresses are concerned. * Also, watch out for some of the security personnel there in the parking structure, whether outside hired or Chumash personnel, as I came across a couple of meanies, for no reason at all. They used to give a complimentary buffet, more play money, free gas up to $50 every week, and other perks, and slowly but surely, they all pretty much disappeared.

* Over the past few years, I've seen the comps diminish to almost none. Why, I don't know? * Their parking is almost always full, and I've had to park elsewhere and walk to the casino on several occasions, which was very inconvenient for me, to say the least. In all these years, I've only been able to get a room a couple times, which I paid for, because I was never comped for all the money that I've spent there. I personally think they're always saving some of their rooms to certain VIP patrons. * Their hotel seems to be perpetually booked, so good luck getting a room there, at any weekday. You would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars, and if you're lucky, very lucky, you might move up one tier, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. * I've been visiting and playing at this casino for well over 33 years, and have spent enough money to buy the newest Tesla Model 3, and I'm still stuck on the Bronze Club tier. This casino does not care about their patrons or their employees, for that matter. (Lucky you!) Besides, even before all of this pandemic nonsense, they always cater to smokers, as they don't want to upset them. * If you're a smoker, than you're off the hook for not having to wear a face mask. (LOL!) * If you're a non-smoker like me, then expect to be playing (unless you're fond of inhaling the unbearable cigarette smoke) in a tiny area with some of the worst, oldest machines to play on. * First of all, if you think you can win any money here, then hold on to that dream. I was there on June 16th to June 17th, 2020. I'll try to make it short and brief, but it's not going to be possible. After having visited Chumash Casino for over 33 times in the past 30 years or so, I think the time has come for me to write a final review of this place.
