This place is disgusting. The people who sit mindlessly at the VLTs that adorn the old, drab interior remind you that one day you'll be so old and bored the only thing left to do is throw your money into one of the worst casinos in the city.
It's in a trashy part of town, but that's okay. Its greasy, washed-up customers won't mind. I've never been bowling here, but I imagine the lanes are about as straight as Frank Sisson. And who knows what's growing in those bowling shoes. -

I would gladly take away the one star for this joint. Dirty, poorly run and over-priced. There are some great staff in the building but the management seems to think the bad staff are good and the good staff are bad. Management is rude and in desperate need of some lessons in ettiquette. The events are over priced and you feel like you're in an old washed up building everywhere you go. The wonderful renovations are a start but it has a ways to go. The food could not possibly be worse. Some of the worst meals ever including a microwaved steak which was delivered to our table. lol. The lights aren't dim enough to let that get by!
And I love how their management team including Todd T, last post, are advertising on here trying to make the casino look decent which it obviously isn't! -

What a place! It is a classic mish-mash of dirty building, rude staff, shiny casino, and well-worn bowling alley, and a night of entertainment for bored people. We haven't gone here in quite some time, but when we did it was always a good time. I remember I bowled a 176 here, my personal best. I just might have to reconvene the PowerFriends for a night of bowling fun!

Okay, First I'll admit that I don't know a thing about gambling and I have never set foot into the casino side of Frank Sisson's but the bowling is pretty good. They have 30 lanes including a few five pin lanes. The prices are pretty average for bowling and it's everything that you would expect in a bowling alley -except for the lady who runs the concession. She is a throw back from the 1950s of our collective imagination. With the great voice of a lifetime smoker she calls everyone 'Hun' and even offers the occasional pearl of advice. You may be thinking that it doesn't matter who it is that sells you your kool-aid slurpy and you may be right but that doesn't make her any less memorable.

We went for a night of bowling. We had to change lanes 3 times as they kept malfunctioning. A lot of other groups had the same problems. For 50 bucks an hour you would expect something more. Asked for some type of compensation but they didn't seem too concerned. Could be a fun time but unless they work on their customer service, don't bother.
