Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

Embarrassed, Ashamed and completely disgusted that I even worked here. The HR Dept. is beyond deplorable. HR has shown signs of illegal labor practices.Do not give them a dime of your money.

Bingo sucks. Might as well go to bingo at mobile home park

Enjoyed the visit and even ate at the buffet. Just a little smokey.

Was our first time games are tight.. But it wasn't Smokey light Gila. We won't go back there for sure.. Fort was nice..

Made a reservation yesterday for a complimentary room. Promo was earn 1000 points get a free room. Had to change my plans. They won't let me cancel without paying a $150 penalty. It's been less than 24 hours since I made the reservation??? I was transferred 4 times each person telling me the next person could help me. Ridiculous

I was at the casino 6.28.20. I was on a machine playing when a man across from me in full view had his mask off for about 20 minutes.He was watching for the floor people and then pulling his mask back up. He started coughing over and over.i waved down a person working on the floor and told her what happened and she told me they can't do anything. We left.i could not believe they are risking people getting sick or dying and seeing it for themselves and saying we can't do anything. Don't go if you think they will enforce the laws set by Arizona to keep you safe.

Good fun for minimum bets. Wasn't jam packed and provided a variety of slots!

In the bingo area they have one of those soda machines that are at burger king and jack in the box. You know the kind that lets you pick your soda and flavor? As a customer it's all free so come on in with your empty polar pop cups for free soda or grab a plastic bag and fill it up with ice.

Awesome and fair casino with big wins, die hard bingo fans and good eats. I love this place!

I really enjoy visiting this casino. It's small enough so that the staff gets to know you by first name. It's large enough so that it does not get overly crowded.

I love this casino. I've always won pretty big here.

Too smokey and no personnel cleaning machines or seats. Ashes all over machines. No plastic barriers between machines.

The food was ok I would not go back. It could be so much better

Machine were pretty good, if you're in the smoking area, not in the non smoking I like the fort.just have to carry a mask

Have been going to the buffet regularly since 2010. At that time the all you can eat crab legs were ~$10 with club card and the line would extend into the Bingo hall. Also did fairly good on gambling winnings. Then prices went up like triple for the crab legs, but club card holders paid ~$20 ea., & winning slowed down (read they got new mgmt). Went there last week & club card holders now get a $5 coupon off the $42.95 ea buffet price!!!! Mind you we had been there 3 weeks earlier and it was the ~$20 ea.!! Each time there were fewer & fewer people eating. At this last visit the slots were super tight too guess $ needed for . Ate, played 30 min & left. That was my last visit. If I m gonna pay $40ea for a mediocre meal & lose, I ll go to Vegas!!

I didn't gamble but the New York Deli has great food and very reasonably priced. The staff was fantastic.

Very busy little casino with lots of different slot machines. The entrance was different and not very easy to locate. We walked through a Bingo game in session that made our arrival very awkward.

Amazing new updates and games. Totally new look. Great service. Even the landscaping looks amazing.

Old slot machines, my friend who wanted to go there did not enjoy as much

The slots are tight they are not letting the slots pay off lots of casino around the area hope they see a drop in attendance

Good place to go for bingo cheap and prizes are worth it.

Had so much fun. Great experience. Beautiful views. Loved getting out of the city and enjoying it out there.

Bingo hall is huge and gets pretty packed. Lots of winners. Smoking and non-smoking sections and lots of opportunity to win.

Not safe enough for me. I'm a mask freak and not everyone wearing their mask. They have eyes above so they could see people not wearing them. Why not send someone over to tell them? Also no announcements anymore to tell people to keep masks on at all times!

Love this casino. Bingo hall is great. Services for buying your packs at bingo very helpful and inform you of any highlights that might be happening during that day.

Nice location,lots of parking, very nice people, clean restrooms,

They are thieves.it would be nice if I could play awhile but hell no .they say you weren't sitting at the winning machine .I tried many 600.00 dollars later . I left. Crooks

Its the Wal-Mart of casinos. I would not recommend there Buffett. We went for the lobster and I was not happy

Extremely Smokey. Machines seem to be a little tighter than other local casinos.

Spent 300$ and the most the machines paid back was a total of about 25$ all in small increments...should have just gave the money to the cage and left.... Keep in mind this kind of action happens every time I go there... They ( Casinio) make it where it is not even fun to go there... I hear the same from other people when I go there....

Never a losing day at the fort

Love the ride to get there to

Had a great time
Lots of fun,food good,pool,enjoyed it all

Smokey, poorly organized concert. Disappointed for sure.

I really enjoy the casino...the employees working there are the best....don't win all the time, but the experience is good!

Food was surprisingly good at Cafe 87. Fish and chips with tots was really good

Nice game selection. Bingo staff is extremely helpful with 1st timers. All u can eat king crab on 1st Friday of the month.

Older crowd, smaller than most casinos, not a good selection of slots. Average

Took 1.5 hours to get a soda,,and the machines not very kind..also not many of the TV,swirled in front of keno machines...

I don't think I have ever won anything at this casino not in bingo not on the slots nothing in fact it's the only casino I've been to in Arizona I haven't won anyting at ...

Has friendly local atmosphere. Food is very inexpensive and good. Best price on cigarettes anywhere. And wild animals roam the parking lot including roadrunners and cows.

Further then the other Casino's but definitely less crowded. You can find $5 Blackjack tables here something that is almost impossible in PHX. One of my favorites just wish it was a little closer

Listening to the group" MOGOLLON" at FT MCDOWELL CASINO!! FANTASTIC!!

The Food Is delicious I can say. I don't play any of the games there just eat .

Good food slots card tables little high on price for buffet

No smoke eaters in casino area. Cigarette smoke was a real issue.

Had to give a one star since I can't give them a ZERO! Should have stayed little but they got greedy! Too bad. It WAS a nice casino.

It's a good way to escape the city. I lost, however, I had a good time and there were plenty of open blackjack tables.

I love Ft McDowell. You can play penny slots to multiple dollar slots. They also have bingo. Their Hotel is wonderful with incredibly helpful staff, oh and the room we stayed in had the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in!!!!

Walking in the door and it look like you are in the double wide trailer holy moly.
I don't think I want to try my luck in this place.

Penny and nickel slots. Plus large bingo room, live entertainment and good atmosphere.

Everything was very clean and inviting. Staff was friendly. Would recommend. Loved my stay. Ready to come back.

Only the deli is open for dining, still has amazing food&ladies were fast&friendly! Great slot selection, bingo hall is open!!!! Grand prizes on machines are enticing!!!
