Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

I spent a lot of money there. I lost almost every time. Difficult to get someone to come around to offer you a beverage. Long waits in the food bar. Went there because it's close. Personnel wasn't very friendly. Not any other reasons.

We will no longer frequent at this casino. After years of going there they have taken out all the machines we liked to play.

An Indian casino in nice nature. But unfortunately 30 minutes drive away from Phoenix (for example Oldenburg Scotsdale). The hotel used to be a Radisson and seemed calmer at the time.

It's okay. Dealt with some staff that were incompetent, they were not knowledgeable, and did not help me. To far to deal with that stuff rather go somewhere else.

We won money as a group at this casino! Very smokey and dirty, though!! Definitely needs some cleaning and organization in the casino. The male non smoking bingo area attendant is very good and friendly, definitely an asset to the bingo area.

Great buffet with all the champagne you can drink!!

Didnt win. First time sign up was only 10$ for each me and my husband. Like, even gila river gives you the possibility of scoring more than just 10 bucks.

It's a cool little casino. Seems to have more of the higher cost machines ($1 and up) than other casinos in this area. They have at least 2 huge bingo rooms. The best thing about this place is that the casino is detached from the hotel. This allows you to take alcohol to your hotel room if you're staying there. The worst thing about this casino is that we left with no winnings!!

It is still good, but too expensive @ $33 per person, the place is empty, so you get seated faster

Lost my $40 gambling but that's what gambling is all about lol. Nice place either way. The bingo Hall is huge if that's your game of choice.

Compared to the other casinos in the Valley this place is better...they actually do have a selection of machines. They have old machines which I love! Payout rate isn't the best but I think that's just my luck. Staff isn't that very good...they only serve drinks at the table games and poker room.

Room are always clean. Frendly staff. One thing please remove or relocate the deli that next to the stage. To much light and walk though traffic on the dance floor.. But I keep comming back , this is my favorite casino.Pool and the bar outside always fun.

The smoke almost killed me, left early because it was so bad. They need to do something for us non smokers.

I love the BINGO caller the good one anyways. I also love the slot machine set up.

Looking forward to the new Casino they are building right now

My mom is an unusual case because she always wins by the time she walks out 5 hours later. Today she lost within 45 minutes. We noticed they are building another casino right next to the old one, I guess we're contributing to the building of that one and will be for another year-and-a-half. Saw no winners today but one person.

I got talked in to going here for the crab buffet. The crabs were plentiful but everything else in buffet was not good. But I did win like 34 dollars so that was cool.

No big money but nice clean place. Buffet was good food

Good atmosphere good machine play overall good experience.

This is one of the. Older Casinos in Arizona.i would. Say its like a best keept secret. Lots of machines great. Food great staff. And if thats not enough too tilt you in that direction i hope this will-the place is really never packed therea always. A machine. Of your liken open ready to. Play

Have been a gambler on and off for many years. The Forts membership card affords free play and great rewards that I simply just use. Don't gamble away all my money. Have fun and enjoy all the friendly staff from servers to dealers to slot attendants. Great price on cigarettes if you smoke, and great food in deli, restaurants, and buffet! Card affords discounts and gives rewards that are great.

... Blackjack is heavily weighted towards the house. Don't waste your time, your money will be gone in record time. I've never lost my money faster anywhere else...

This casino was soul sucking, depressing.
I don't know if it was because we checked into the hotel around 3 and went searching for a late lunch in the casino, but the atmosphere was dismal. My husband and I seriously dipped low on our happy meters.
WE had lunch at the diner, French Dip tasted like old reheated beef. We had dinner at the 87 cafe, and both the Mongolian beef and sesame chicken were missing flavor. Came back again for breakfast, because it was $2.99, and can attest that again the food lacked flavor. Can only guess this is because the median age here is like 80 and some older folks can't have spices???? Stayed at Wild Horse Pass the night prior and it was better.
Oh, the stench was unbearable from the smoke!

Really don't see the point in going to this casino unless youre just wanting to lose your money right away or just need to stop and take a break from driving

They have great machines love the bingo overall great place

Super cool casino hate to see it go away on the 29th of Oct 2020

Had fun. Casino is nice Hotel on site was fun and nicely priced. Check for deals or specials.

This is my favorite even thou i dont win much but i love to relax n get away from life for a couple of hours...

You spend hondreds of dollars and get back about 1 percent back in free play,then machines are tilting you sitting on them for hours,maybe start going back to buckys in prescott

Diggin the free bet and 3dollar blackjack games .upbeat dealers /with a couple purty gals that r fun but still know there stuff...never over crowded making for good times, they had no customer service what so ever.. took 2hrs to get drinks..and when we mentioned the lack of servous they bombarded us with a obnoxious service making for a awkward experience and the feeling like we were being ran out of the place.. ill b back..just cuz I like the dealers and less crowd plus games...with the hope that they ll up there customer service..

Very festive atmosphere. The staff here are very kind and respectful. I have a good time every time I go. Even when I loose. The food is always really good and affordable.

Big win right before the casino closed for the night lol

A little dirty and seemed like there were a lot of machines down for maintenance.

It's located in a beautiful scenic part of Arizona. However, the interior is old and dated. It holds an odor of dated and old carpet which can use some disinfectant, Lysol and Pine-Sol. There was only 2 staff members that was friendly and helpful. The others could careless to provide warm, friendly customer service. The food at the Silver Platter was decent BUT they forgot my order and left me standing there for 18 mins. If it wasnt for me inquiring about my order I would not have received my order. No one apologized let alone acknowledged their error. Otherwise, I enjoyed the games.

Sunday Funday! I have always enjoyed early bird bingo! Also, one of the best parts about it is FREE drinks and tasty food for a fair price! I would recommend that you try a Vanilla Milkshake or a Root Beer Float to top it off! Don't have much luck with winning, seems to me because many others enjoy bingo on a Sunday as well! Popular ritual with the older crowd!

It's a place you can have fun and don't need to gamble awesome restaurants to eat great music place to have a few drinks and watch special events etc

It's far out there and a little older, but they have fun new games and good food!

I win here and it's not too crowded! The food is also very good!

A losing experience but it's still a nice place to go once in a while!

Food was good, the portions were generous& service was excellent. Very nice

you will never win..slots machine just take your money

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!Check in was a breeze Ryan was courteous and quick!Room was super comfy .. food always fabulous ..

Not very impressed with this casino. Very smokey. Went for buffet and food was lukewarm and not a very good selection. Have no plans to return.

Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Accommodations exceeded my expectations. Food was great.

The buffet was really delicious, even if it was on the small side. They would do better to add another room with more options. But still, best prime rib I've had in ages. Worth the drive if you join their casino club card and get 5$ off the buffet and 10$ in chips for the night, though I wont be returning.

The place is comfortable so it's more relax. Slot machines are mix with old and new. The Resort and Wassaja Conference are amazing with friendly staff. The area is well kept. Worth visiting at least once.

Love going there to get out of the house and somewhere to go with the family I love to play Bingo there everything is great but I wish I could I would go with my mother more often if I would win at least once in a great while been going there for about 6 years and I might have one no more then $100 in years time three different games at different times of the year and always an early bird
