About Lake of the Torches

Lake of the Torches is a tribal resort casino at 510 Old Abe Road in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin, owned and operated by the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The directory lists the property’s heritage year as 1837, reflecting the tribe’s long-standing presence at the site rather than the modern casino’s opening date. The casino operates under the Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Gaming compact framework with a 21-and-over policy.

The 800-machine slot floor and 8-table dealt pit make Lake of the Torches one of the larger Northwoods tribal casinos. The property carries a resort classification (the directory features include “Resort” with valet, street parking, and self-parking) and is anchored by craps, blackjack, and a full video poker and video keno bank. The location on the Lac du Flambeau Reservation puts the casino about an hour northwest of Rhinelander and roughly two hours south of the Lake Superior shoreline.

Games on the Floor

The dealt table menu at Lake of the Torches is built around blackjack and craps, with bingo running alongside the gaming floor and the unusual “super spot” side-bet game referenced in the directory. The 800-machine slot floor is one of the larger Northwoods slot rooms, with Video Poker and Video Keno banks rounding out the electronic mix. There is no live poker room and no roulette table, which separates the property from peer Potawatomi Northern Lights in Carter, which runs both.

For travelers in the Lac du Flambeau, Minocqua, and Rhinelander corridor, the craps presence is the defining draw. Craps is uncommon at tribal casinos this far north in Wisconsin, and Lake of the Torches has run it as a regular table for years.

Amenities and Resort Positioning

Lake of the Torches carries a Resort classification with valet service, self-parking, and street parking around the property. The directory references meeting space and wedding programming, with a nightclub component listed among the property features. While the directory marks the property without an attached hotel field flagged true, the broader Lake of the Torches Resort name is commonly used in tribal marketing materials and the website tracks dining and lodging information.

The Northwoods slot floor with craps you can actually play

Lake of the Torches is one of the rare northern Wisconsin tribal casinos that runs craps and a deeper-than-average slot floor at 800 machines. Combined with the Lake Club rewards program, an active bingo hall, and a resort positioning around the Lac du Flambeau Band's lakefront property, it earns a stop for travelers crossing northern Wisconsin between Minocqua and the Lake Superior corridor.
