Black Bear Casino Resort is open 24 hours and offers a casino floor with a great selection and diversity of machines, though some reviews note lots of old machines. Guests report a mix of experiences with the slots, with some finding it harder to win lately and mentioning that buttons sometimes do not work. The environment is described as non-smoking, though a smoke smell is sometimes noticed. The resort no longer has a pool, hot tub, arcade, or coffee shop.
The buffet dinner receives praise for great food and good service. The hotel prices are considered high by some visitors. Overall, many still like the place and recommend it, suggesting players stick to a budget. The resort is committed to providing a safe environment for guests and employees. For bookings, they do not use Google; rooms must be booked by calling their toll-free number or directly through the Black Bear Casino Resort website.
Very nice overnight on a northern Minnesota golf trip. Will play again in the future.

Love this casino as it has windows instead of the usual dark inside. Lots of great slots new and older that I love. Clean and friendly staff. Big rooms though a bit expensive.

So far so good, checkin and parking were straightforward, staff is friendly.
