Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort is a tribal casino and waterfront hotel on Agate Passage near Bainbridge Island, Washington. Its strongest reason to visit is the complete getaway: slots, table games, a FanDuel sportsbook, dining, and time by the water. I think it makes more sense for an overnight stay than a hurried gambling stop from Seattle. The main limitation is scheduling: ferry travel takes planning, weekday gaming is not round-the-clock, and restaurants and staffed tables keep their own hours.

Property overview: a waterfront getaway, not just a gaming stop
Clearwater sits on the Kitsap Peninsula side of Agate Pass, near the bridge connecting the peninsula with Bainbridge Island. The Washington State Gambling Commission’s tribal casino directory lists the address and casino phone above.
The setting is the selling point I would weigh most heavily. Plenty of casinos offer machines and blackjack. Clearwater adds waterfront lodging, a spa, a pool, and grounds overlooking Agate Passage, giving a nongambling companion reasons to come along.
For someone already visiting Suquamish, Poulsbo, or Bainbridge Island, it can fit naturally into a regional trip. From Seattle, a ferry crossing followed by a drive is a different proposition from dropping into a neighborhood casino.
For alternatives, see our guide to Washington casinos.
Casino games and operating hours
Clearwater combines slots, live table games, keno, and retail sports betting. Its official casino overview advertises over 1,300 slot machines and a Keno Lounge; the resort page lists 25 gaming tables.
Casino-floor access, staffed tables, and sportsbook windows follow different schedules. An open casino door does not promise an open craps table.
The dedicated operating-hours page lists the following regular schedule:
| Day | Casino floor | Table games |
|---|---|---|
| Monday through Wednesday | 8:00 AM to 5:00 AM the following morning | 2:00 PM to midnight |
| Thursday | 8:00 AM to 5:00 AM the following morning | Noon to 2:00 AM |
| Friday | 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM | Noon to 3:00 AM |
| Saturday | Open 24 hours | Noon to 3:00 AM |
| Sunday | Open 24 hours | Noon to midnight |
Keno is listed daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Holiday exceptions may apply.
I would not choose Clearwater based on square footage. The supplied official and tourism listings use different gaming-floor measurements without explaining the discrepancy. Your preferred game and its hours are more useful planning details.
Slots and video poker
Slots are the largest advertised component of the gaming mix. Individual titles change, so an old machine list is not much use as a shopping list for your next visit.
My advice is to check the total wager before pressing spin. A small denomination on the cabinet can still produce a substantial bet once credits and optional features are included. Keep your gambling allowance separate from room, meal, and return-trip money.
the published information does not establish the current video-poker selection, denominations, or pay schedules. If video poker is your main reason to go, ask about the inventory before traveling, and inspect the pay table on the machine.
There is no basis here for calling the slots loose or tight. A guest’s winning or losing session does not tell us the machines’ return.
Table games
The published game list includes blackjack, Double Deck Blackjack, Pai Gow, craps, roulette, High Card Flush, and Three Card Poker. Staffing determines availability, so do not assume every game runs throughout the table-game schedule.
For blackjack or craps, plan around table hours rather than casino hours. A weekday morning arrival is better suited to machine play.
Current minimum bets and detailed rules are not supplied. Check posted limits and the blackjack payout before sitting down. Double-deck availability alone does not tell you whether the complete rules suit your budget or strategy.
Is there a live poker room?
There is no dedicated poker room.
Three Card Poker and Pai Gow are not substitutes for player-versus-player poker. Call specifically about a dedicated room, current games, and a waiting list before making a poker-focused trip.
FanDuel sportsbook: windows, kiosks, and house rules
The FanDuel sportsbook page confirms live betting windows, self-service kiosks, club-chair seating, and a video-wall viewing setup. Staffed windows operate daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM; kiosks operate during casino hours.
That gives you a betting option beyond counter hours, but do not assume identical access to staff assistance or ticket redemption. Ask about redemption procedures if you expect to leave after the windows close.
The FanDuel name does not establish statewide mobile betting. The state regulator’s sports-wagering guidance requires mobile wagers to be geofenced to casino premises. The supplied sources do not establish that Clearwater currently offers a mobile wagering app.
Standard parlays and Odds Boost bets settle differently
The published sportsbook house rules distinguish ordinary parlays from Odds Boost parlays. A void leg in a standard parlay normally leaves the remaining selections in action. A void or non-runner leg in an Odds Boost parlay voids the entire boosted wager.
Winning tickets expire 180 days from the event, and the sportsbook is not responsible for lost, stolen, or unreadable tickets. Check your selections before leaving the window or kiosk, and keep the ticket somewhere safer than a loose pocket.
Hotel rooms, policies, and costs
Clearwater advertises 183 guest rooms, with Tower rooms and waterfront resort lodging. I would consider staying for dinner, some gambling, and time enjoying the setting, rather than simply to extend a slot session.
Book the category you actually want. A waterfront resort does not mean every room has a water view, and a request is not a booked view category. The official room listings also distinguish no-balcony water-view king and double-queen categories. Confirm a balcony if sitting outside is part of your plan.
The resort’s accommodation and policy page lists check-in at 4:00 PM and checkout at 11:00 AM. Room charges, taxes, and incidentals require a valid credit or debit card; cash and personal checks are not accepted.
That differs from the sportsbook, which allows cash, winning tickets, and vouchers for wagering. Being able to bet with cash does not mean you can pay for your room with it.
Visit Kitsap Peninsula lists ADA-accessible and wheelchair-accessible rooms. Ask reservations about the specific bathroom, bed, and access features you need rather than relying on a category label.
Weekday versus weekend hotel-rate comparison
The supplied October hotel special advertises starting rates of $149.00 Sunday through Thursday and $199.00 Friday and Saturday, valid through October 31. The offer text does not specify a year; confirm that it applies to your dates.
It covers Standard Tower Rooms and Non-View Resort Rooms, excludes suites, and is based on double occupancy. Availability and blackout dates apply, and it cannot be combined with other offers. This is not a guaranteed waterfront-room price or final booking total.
Gamboool original analysis
We assembled the comparison below from published information and our calculations. These are selected examples, rather than measured gambling sessions or a representative survey.
| Detail | Published information |
|---|---|
| Clearwater October hotel special: Weekday versus weekend advertised starting rates | The offer advertises rooms starting at $149.00 Sunday–Thursday versus $199.00 Friday and Saturday, valid through October 31. The passage does not specify a year. |
| Clearwater October hotel special: Eligible rooms and offer restrictions | The advertised special covers Standard Tower Rooms and Non-View Resort Rooms, rather than suites or a guaranteed waterfront view. Availability, blackout dates, and offer-combination restrictions apply. |
| Clearwater casino: Weekday versus weekend gaming-floor hours | The dedicated schedule lists Monday–Thursday hours of 8:00 AM–5:00 AM, Friday hours through 11:59 PM, and round-the-clock Saturday and Sunday access. |
| Clearwater table games: Staffed table schedule compared with casino-floor access | Table games have a narrower schedule than the casino floor, with afternoon opening Monday–Wednesday and noon opening Thursday–Sunday. |
| Clearwater FanDuel sportsbook: Counter hours versus kiosk availability | The sportsbook lists daily service from 10:00 AM–10:00 PM, while betting kiosks follow casino hours. |
| Clearwater hotel: Check-in versus checkout | Hotel check-in is 4:00 PM, and checkout is 11:00 AM. |
| Clearwater hotel and sportsbook: Different accepted payment methods | Hotel room charges, taxes, and incidentals require a valid credit or debit card; sportsbook wagers may be funded with cash, winning tickets, vouchers, or other approved methods. |
| Clearwater sportsbook: Wager funding compared with card-only hotel payment | The sportsbook’s funding rules expressly allow cash, winning tickets, and cash/wagering vouchers, unlike the hotel’s card-only payment policy. |
| Clearwater pool, hot tub, and fitness center: Amenity schedule and pool eligibility | The amenity schedule is 7:00 AM–9:00 PM daily. The resort page requires pool and hot-tub users to be registered hotel guests; RV guests have separate paid-access terms. |
| Clearwater RV park: Included utilities versus extra amenity access | Wi-Fi, power, sewage, and water are included in the space charge, while hotel pool and fitness-center access require an additional fee. The passage does not provide that fee amount. |
| Clearwater RV park: Checkout and escalating late-departure charges | RV checkout is 1:00 PM, later than hotel checkout. Remaining past 2:00 PM incurs a half-day charge, and remaining past 3:00 PM incurs a full-day charge; published dollar amounts are not supplied. |
| Clearwater smoking areas: Designated smoking gaming area versus smoke-free buildings | Smoking is allowed in the gaming area just inside the East Garage entrance. The remainder of the building, food-and-beverage outlets, Tower, and Resort buildings are described as smoke-free. |
| Clearwater age restrictions: Casino versus lounge minimum age | Casino play requires age 18 or older, while lounge entry requires age 21 or older. |
| Clearwater EV charging: Paid Superchargers versus complimentary guest charging | Tesla Superchargers are pay-to-use; the other listed chargers are free for casino guests. No charging price is supplied for the Superchargers. |
| Clearwater valet parking: Service availability | Valet parking is listed as closed until further notice, so visitors should not plan around valet service. |
| Clearwater sportsbook tickets: Redemption deadline and time zone | Winning tickets expire 180 days from the event, and ticket times use Pacific Time. |
| Clearwater standard parlays: Treatment of void selections | A void selection normally removes that leg and leaves the remaining selections to determine settlement; a two-leg parlay reduced to one selection becomes a straight bet. |
| Clearwater Odds Boost parlays: Void-leg policy compared with standard parlays | Unlike the standard parlay rule, a non-runner or void selection in an Odds Boost parlay voids the entire boosted wager. |
| Washington mobile sports wagering: On-premises versus off-premises wagering | Washington requires geofencing so mobile sports wagers can be placed only while patrons are physically on casino premises. This rule does not establish that Clearwater currently offers a mobile wagering app. |
| Clearwater sportsbook betting menu: Excluded sports and collegiate teams | The sportsbook excludes minor league sports and collegiate athletic events involving schools located in Washington State. |
| Calculation | Result | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| October advertised weekend versus weekday starting-rate premium | $50.00 per room-night, before any additional taxes or charges | Flexible travelers can compare a weekday stay with the higher advertised weekend starting rate. These are availability-dependent October offers, not guaranteed booking totals. |
| Illustrative two-night weekday stay at the October starting rate | $298.00 per room for the stay, before any additional taxes or charges | Use this as a weekday room-budget baseline only if the starting rate is available for both nights. Transportation, meals, gambling, and other purchases remain separate. |
| Illustrative Friday-and-Saturday stay at the October starting rate | $398.00 per room for the stay, before any additional taxes or charges | Compare this weekend room-budget baseline with the weekday scenario before choosing dates. Confirm both nightly prices and the final booking total. |

Method: Published inputs collected 2026-10-12. Illustrative assumptions are labeled, and the full calculation inputs remain in the saved research record. These examples support planning; they do not predict a particular session.
the calculations put the advertised weekend premium at $50.00 per room-night. Assuming the starting rate is available on both nights, two eligible weekday nights total $298.00, compared with $398.00 for Friday and Saturday. These are illustrative room-only estimates before additional taxes or charges, not live quotes.
My take: weekdays can be the better budget choice for lodging, slots, and a quiet resort break. Friday and Saturday have the stronger published lineup for late table play, Beach Rock service, and additional dinner choices. Tuesday deserves attention if the spa is part of your plan: Angeline Spa is listed as closed that day.
A resort fee, general parking charge, and complete hotel tax-and-fee total are not established in the published information. Compare the final booking price, and use the cancellation terms attached to your reservation rather than a blanket rule.
Restaurants and bars: check the service periods
Clearwater lists six food venues, including a deli and coffee shop, not six full-service restaurants. Their schedules matter more than the count:
- The Clearwater Restaurant: Dinner daily, 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Sushi is listed Wednesday through Sunday only.
- Beach Glass Café: Breakfast and lunch daily, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM; dinner Friday and Saturday, 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The official description places it in the Tower lobby with Agate Passage views and a seasonal patio.
- Seafood Bar: Wednesday and Thursday, 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM; Friday and Saturday, 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
- Agate Pass Deli: Daily, 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM, with ready-made items and freshly prepared casual fare.
- Beach Bru Coffee: Daily, 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
- Beach Rock Music & Sports: Thursday evening and late Friday and Saturday service, plus designated game-day Sunday openings.
The deli’s late hours are a useful strength: a published food option after the dinner venues close, without pretending the entire lineup runs all night.
Center Bar is listed daily from 10:00 AM to 1:30 AM. Hidden Cove Bar operates Friday and Saturday from 5:00 PM to midnight. Check current menus and reservations for a planned dinner; independent meal reports and a dependable menu-price comparison were not supplied.
For group dinners, The Clearwater Restaurant lists an automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 10 or more. Include it in the budget before organizing a large-table celebration.
Entertainment, pool, and spa
Non-gaming amenities include Angeline Spa, a Native American art gallery, a fitness center, beach access, a year-round swimming pool, an outdoor hot tub, and waterfront grounds with a lawn, boardwalk, and terrace.
Pool, hot-tub, and fitness-center hours are listed as 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. The resort page requires pool and hot-tub users to be registered hotel guests. A casino visit alone should not be treated as pool admission.
Angeline Spa has a separate schedule, including a Tuesday closure. Arrange a treatment rather than assuming your room booking secures an appointment. Its published gratuity policy adds a mandatory automatic 20% gratuity to all spa services, so the treatment price is not the whole bill.
Beach Rock’s opening hours are not a performance schedule. For a show-centered trip, check the event calendar, ticket availability, age restrictions, and seating terms before booking.
Directions, parking, and practical visit information
Getting here from Seattle
A common approach is the Seattle–Bainbridge Island ferry, followed by a drive north across Bainbridge Island and over the Agate Pass Bridge. The casino is on the Suquamish side.
Count the whole journey: terminal travel, boarding queues, the crossing, and the onward drive. Walk-on ferry passengers still need transportation from the Bainbridge terminal. No current casino shuttle timetable or airport-transfer service is established here.
A road approach through the Kitsap Peninsula is another option. Compare it with ferry conditions for your actual departure rather than assuming one route is always faster.
Parking and EV charging
The property identifies East and West parking garages. Valet is listed as closed until further notice, so plan to self-park. General vehicle-parking charges are not established in the supplied sources.
Standard and Tesla charging options are listed in and near the garages. Tesla Superchargers require payment; the other listed chargers are advertised as free for casino guests. Check availability and connector compatibility before depending on a charge.
Smoking and age restrictions
Clearwater is not entirely smoke-free. Smoking is permitted in the gaming area just inside the East Garage entrance and in designated outdoor areas. The remainder of the building, food-and-beverage outlets, Tower, and Resort buildings are described as smoke-free. If smoke exposure matters, ask about your arrival route and preferred gaming area.
Bring valid identification. Casino play requires age 18 or older; lounge entry requires age 21 or older. The property allows accompanied children to pass through the casino without stopping to reach certain designated destinations, not to linger on the gaming floor. Families should confirm permitted routes.
RV stays have separate rules
The property lists a 19-space RV park behind the East Garage. Its RV park terms include Wi-Fi, power, sewage, and water in the space charge and require a Players Club card.
RV checkout is 1:00 PM, rather than the hotel’s 11:00 AM. Remaining beyond 2:00 PM incurs a half-day additional charge; beyond 3:00 PM incurs a full-day charge. Dollar amounts are not supplied.
The RV terms describe pool and fitness-center access for an additional fee, while the resort page restricts pool use to registered hotel guests. Confirm RV eligibility and charges directly. I would not assume an RV booking includes hotel-room amenity access.
Players Club rewards
The RV terms describe tier-based Players Club discounts on hotel rooms, restaurants, spa services, RV fees, and other resort amenities. Current earning rates, discount percentages, and tier thresholds were not supplied.
Ask about enrollment and offer activation before playing. My rule is simple: use benefits that fit the visit you already intended to make. Do not gamble more merely to chase a room discount.
Guest feedback: no current consensus established
No independent recent guest-review set or documented firsthand report was supplied. The older page included favorable quotations without dates or direct review links; they do not establish recurring praise about service, cleanliness, or room condition today.
I am therefore not presenting a review score or claiming a guest consensus. Before booking, look for recent comments about your intended room category, noise, cleanliness, restaurant service, and amenity availability. Reports about losing gambling sessions are not evidence of slot payouts.
Strengths, drawbacks, and who should visit
These are editorial assessments of advertised facilities and schedules, not documented recurring guest complaints.
- Strongest advantage: Waterfront lodging and non-gaming amenities make Clearwater a persuasive mixed-interest getaway.
- Gaming breadth: Slots, several live table games, keno, and a retail sportsbook give general visitors multiple options.
- Main scheduling drawback: Weekday closures and later table openings limit early-morning or all-night plans.
- Dining limitation: Six food venues does not mean six choices at every hour.
- Arrival caveats: Ferry logistics require planning, valet is suspended, and indoor smoking remains near the East Garage entrance.
- Specialized-game uncertainty: Dedicated live poker, video-poker inventory, and table minimums need confirmation.
Best for: Couples seeking a waterfront overnight break, Kitsap Peninsula visitors, sports bettors combining a game with a resort stay, and groups in which not everyone wants to gamble.
Less convincing for: Seattle visitors making a very short gambling stop, players traveling for an unconfirmed poker room, and guests expecting every venue to follow casino hours.
I would choose Clearwater for a room, a meal, some gaming, and time by the water. If the trip rests on one particular table or amenity, confirm it first. The view is a bonus, not a replacement for what you came to do.
