One of my favorite casinos by far. The employees are awesome and always in a friendly mood and the open room layout makes it feel like everyone is winning when someone hits a jackpot which really revs up that good mood and gets you in that winning frame of mind. The facility is beautiful too.

I go to this casino a lot. I like that they have a lot of old machines. The only thing I dislike about this is no one has good customer service. From Security to the Blackjack Dealers. The whole casino needs new training indeed! But other than that the machine are ok. Need more Keno machines for sure!

Decent casino nestled out in a desert atmosphere. Roads and access are maintained, smooth and clean. Mountain views are the backdrop but there does not seem to be anything else to access near it. Perhaps there's a town nearby for food, has and accessories, yet it is not obvious to the eye driving there. It is a small, cozy type of local casino where as people who live near can find fun and entertainment.
I've been here twice and it was fun to drive up as the mountains are fascinating to see and sunsets are pretty.
The casino itself is standard for any smaller based location. It has a variety of gaming options and the staff and people are friendly.

BINGO

Great place, Good food, Fabulous entertainment, Very friendly on gambling, A lot friendlier then the Talking Stick, A place you can really have fun, I recommend Scottsdale people to take the extra Drive and go to Fort McDowell you will not be disappointed

They're in the process of building an entirely new casino with hotel that includes a huge parking garage! Which is really important to me with the extreme heat and the fact i ride a motorcycle! The existing facility is old but still fairly decent and i was able to find a carport spot upfront to park in the shade! But i'm lucky i didn't get a ticket or towed probably being it was reserved for somebody on the staff! The casinos in Arizona just aren't that great for gambling as i rarely have much luck which shouldn't play into the scenario much considering i play blackjack by the book! But for some reason i usually fare better at the Casinos in Colorado? I do notice that if i sit at a table with the auto shuffle machine that they keep adding the cards to as i play that my odds of winning are greatly decreased versus if they play through the entire shoe then shuffle all the decks at once before returning to the shoe? Best if you can find a one or two deck game where you can keep a watch as to how many high or low cards have come out and been played already! I think if you were to keep an exact count of high or low cards your odds would go way up but i also think thats considered a form of cheating? Kinda like the MIT black jack team where they did some sort of a card counting system then placed bets accordingly? Either way it's been a fun and enjoyable experience the four or five times i've been here in the last 6 months!

No longer has smoking inside, while gaming. Decided to stay and eat at WKP Sports place.
Burger was good. Wings okay and the ranch dipping dressing for the wings was a NO!!!!.
IT WAS LIKE WHITE COLORED WATER.
GOOD SERVICE Jamie was a very nice waiter.

A great casino that's far away from city traffic & congestion. A friend introduced me to the place & we spent several hours ummmm.... gaming? gambling? Lol!! I walked away with a nice profit & will definitely make this a stop when gaming!!

Wow, we're mot in Kansas anymore the remodel is really nice and its fun. The longtime visitors might not like it as they no longer alliw smoking inside. But tge exterior and most the interiir is absolutely stunning. Loved the bathrooms and elevator banks!! ( although they may want to reconfigure the area leading to the garage as it is very narrow and when crowded your in each others personal space..definitely will return. One more thing , i dont know her name but shes helped me a coupke of times at the players club an older gal with i want to say kind of reddish hair and glasses, very classy. I want to clone her as she always makes it fun to get a card reprinted or whatever and she must notice a confused look on my face as she always makes sure i know what im doing and answers any question i have

Two stars might be a little too generous. Used to be a great time and could play for a long time on the money we brought. For the last year it has been a downer. Keno pay ratio has been low. Have not seen a decent payout personally for a long time. Rarely see any cash payout anymore. Wondering if maybe new management is to tight. No longer a favorite place to play. Also tired of smelling like an ash tray after playing there. Ventilation could be a lot better.

Not only was it so dead with hardly any players...the machines were really not paying. Wait staff did not exist. Players club seemed annoyed that we had questions.

The only 1 person that treated us well and acknowledged our presence was the bar tender.

Brought a car to the Silver Auction and they lost my keys just before the car was supposed to be ran through. Terrible waste of time. Next year I will be going to a Reputable Auto Auction.
