There are a lot of college kids there all of the time spending their hard earned paychecks there every week, or possible returning after winning. Location: Both are right off highway exits, however Soaring Eagle is in a college town. Firekeepers is a middle of the road-type casino in my opinion. Size: Soaring Eagle is larger, thus holding more Slots and Tables. For those in between the two casino's like me, I'll compare the two as un-biased as possible after a few very noticeable factors that seperate the two. I've been a Soaring Eagle patron for years and years and just recently started trying my hand at Firekeepers. from home and Firekeepers is a delightful 40 minutes (all highway). This is pretty much 1/2 way between Soaring Eagle and Firekeepers.
