About Mole Lake Casino & Lodge

Mole Lake Casino & Lodge is a tribal gaming venue at 3084 WI-55 in Crandon, Wisconsin, owned and operated by the Sokaogon Chippewa Community on the Mole Lake Reservation in Forest County. The property sits roughly four hours north of Milwaukee and an hour east of Rhinelander, serving the northern Wisconsin gaming corridor alongside peer tribal venues. The Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Gaming regulates Class III play under the state-tribal compact, with a minimum gambling age of 21.

The casino runs 500 slot machines and 6 table games across a compact floor that has long been a fixture for Forest County residents and travelers heading toward the Nicolet National Forest. While the property carries a “Lodge” name, the lodging component is a separate facility rather than an attached hotel tower. The casino keeps the focus on gaming, dining, and a workable players club rather than a sprawling resort program.

Games on the Floor

The 6-table pit at Mole Lake leans heavily on blackjack variants, which is unusual for a property this size. The dealt menu covers 2 Deck Pitch Blackjack, 6 Deck Shoe Blackjack, 21 War Blackjack, and Lucky Lucky Blackjack as a side-bet variant, giving blackjack-focused visitors more options than most northern Wisconsin tribal floors. Electronic bingo runs alongside the live tables. The 500-machine slot floor mixes reel and video slots with banks of Video Keno and Video Poker terminals.

If you want craps, roulette, or live poker, this is the wrong room: Mole Lake is a blackjack-and-slots property by design. Players who want those tables typically drive to Potawatomi Hotel Casino in Milwaukee or to the larger North Star Mohican Casino Resort further south.

Amenities and Visit Practicalities

The amenity list is intentionally compact. The on-site restaurant and bar handle dining, and self-parking is free across a generous lot. The property has a Players Club desk where the loyalty program operates under the casino’s broader rewards structure. The promotions and events calendar is updated through the property website and the casino’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels.

★ Editor take

A blackjack-heavy local room with deep northern Wisconsin roots

Mole Lake Casino & Lodge is not a destination resort, and it does not pretend to be. What it offers is one of the deepest blackjack menus you will find on a 6-table pit anywhere in northern Wisconsin, plus a steady 500-machine slot floor and a community feel that regulars from Forest County have known for decades. Travelers looking for poker rooms or sportsbooks should look elsewhere; blackjack players passing through Crandon will find more variety here than the size suggests.
