Best Casino in the Chicago Area

The Grand Victoria Casino is an 80,000 square feet establishment. It offers gaming between 8:30 am and 6:30 am seven days of the week. Grand Victoria is found about 20 miles outside of Chicago, Illinois, an easy driving distance for a gaming experience. It is found in the Chicago suburb of Elgin, along the banks of the Fox River.

Casino Player Magazine has named Grand Victoria Casino as the best casino in the Chicago area.

Table Games

Grand Victoria offers nearly thirty blackjack tables, which is more than I've found anywhere else in Illinois. It has six craps and five roulette tables, which is on a par with any other Illinois casino.

You'll also find 3 Caribbean stud poker and 3 card poker tables.

There is a baccarat table on site, which is a full sized version and not some just some mini-Baccarat table.

Slot Machine Games

The casino offers well over 1,400 gaming machines, including the latest innovations in slot and video poker machines. It has nearly 500 dollar slots, along with several $25 slots. But don't worry if that isn't your style. The Grand Victoria offers hundreds of nickel and quarter slots, too.

The Grand Victoria has over 120 video poker machines. It also has a few CDS Bingo and CDS Easy Street games.

Restaurants

The Buckingham Restaurant serves meals of fish, poultry and veal. It offers a large wine selection of domestic and international wines. It serves dinner only.

The Grand Victoria Buffet seat nearly 500 people, and offers the largest buffet selection in town. The weekend menu offers an amazing all-you-can-eat selection of crab legs, steak and prime rib.

The Westminster Deli is a solid fast food option, for those who want to eat and get back to the slot machines. The staff prepares deli style sandwiches and a large selection of specialty pizzas.

The Vixen's Den is somewhere between the other three selections, faster than Buckingham's but more elaborate than the Westminster Deli. You can sit down in a bar atmosphere for pizza and fine desserts, putting down a few drinks with a few friends while you discuss your latest winnings.

The Fox Room

The casino's banquet hall is named The Fox Room, an allusion to the nearby Fox River. This room holds nearly 300 people, and is perfect for weddings and seminars. To reserve the Fox Room, call 1-888-508-1900.
