Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

Great pool layout. Perfect for a nights or weekend getaway.

Great place love going there don't play much but love looking around at the lovely woman that walk around some are bad and some are so so but haven't reason found one that hold my eye.

New East Valley bus schedule is unacceptable. Pickup time should remain at 9 o'clock to allow enough time to purchase bingo, specials and lunch. Also to assemble cards, cover odd and even and to enter Bonanza numbers. Also time to play slots. Please keep at 9'oclock.

Lighting was dark and they were allowing smoking...

Bingo was fun clean bathrooms good service and social atmosphere with my sisters....

Stopped in to play. And have lunch. Buffet was terrible expected more than this.

Total rip off, never win anything more than a couple bucks...

Great entertainment on July 3rd they had a fireworks display and an eagles tribute band! There's always something going on at the Fort McDowell Casino and the people there are super nice!

Good friendly fun, lot of activities. Hope 2 c u there!

We started winning and the employees started gathering around us and glaring at us until we got up and then they started messing with the machines. Don't be too obvious that you were rigging the machines or anything. Smh

Keno machines not paying anything they are probably taking the money for the New casino they are opening

Machines don't pay had to find someone to fix it service buttons not hooked up place sucks

Had a bad piece of steak.they did not make it right.at the restaurant.will not go there again.bad service.not a happy camper.

Wasn't quite as good as I remember it to be couldn't even play cards cause they only had one table going

Large Native American casino and hotel. Stopped only for a few minutes to see it for the first time. Seemed like it could be a fun place if I had more time.

Came down for my buddies 21st birthday and had a great time the staff can be very nice but also give you attitude.

Their champagne brunch on Sunday is the best for a great price!

Finally had a waitress come by me after easily 1 hr of play. It was quite warm in there, I had to take my blazer off. One of my slot machines only worked by tapping on the glass screen. Other that that it was clean.

This place is a vacuum cleaner it just takes and takes .

I haven't had much luck here lately, but since our park no longer had a monthly bingo bus we chose to take the bus that picks us up at safeway in the morning returning in the afternoon. The free play got me started and I actually came out ahead! My Mother and Son also went and we had a very pleasant time. Thank you Ft. McDowell for offering the bus ride and showing my family such a good time! We plan on going again very soon!

It's just ok. With all of the social distancing not as many slot machines are working so more people are just standing around and its harder to get a drink. Also they need to get better ventilation because the smell of smoke is horrific. As soon as i left i needed to go home and shower to get the smell out of my hair. My clothing also stunk. Didn't see anyone who was doing well on slots or table games. I was not really impressed. The bingo hall is very dated and the tvs and boards don't work well. I'd been to better places in the Valley.

Still under construction. Hotel is quite a bit far from the casino under this heat advisory.

Stinky, bad payouts. Maybe new cadino will be bettet, but, I doubt it. Sorry to burst anybody bubble.

Stopped on our way to payson then jerome. Havnt been in years. Had a delicious reasonably priced breakfast. Was able to find and play wheel of fortune slots my fav. Bought cigs their cheaper. Randy and i had fun. Didnt stay to long.

Hated itThe employees for security and management are rude and exaggerate stories and make paying customers feel little and worthless..

Always a great time, whether I win or lose I always have fun there. It's very clean, the air is fresh and smells great even in the smoking areas, they're taking every safety precaution possible for Covid19. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One of the best casinos in the state of Arizona! Go there!

The details are I lost. That's the details. I don't really remember what it looks like inside. Lucky to get 2. In fact...

Had a great time....very friendly!! Won sum dough$$

Nice smaller casino! More room to get around. Lots of fun!

Stayed here for my husband's annual golf tournament. Food and entertainment was really good

This place sucked the whole lay out and the atmosphere were not good for. Me

Had a terrible experience
will not go back.

We have been playing Bingo at the Fort for 30 years and it's the best in or out of town. All other casino's are to Vegas style. We understand they are all into making money, but at least the Fort remembers who helped them get there. No matter if it's bingo, machines, table games, food or Hotel, it's all good. Also their staff are great. As far as to many old people spending their retirement, that's our business. We worked hard for many years and it's ours not yours. We're not stupid and know what we can afford so If you don't like it, go somewhere else and miss out on some great seniors and lots of fun. Almost forgot (must be because I'm old) they have a great shuttle for us!!!!!

Smaller casino then the others not enough hold em card tables. All in all okay I guess

Second time at a Casino, with a group, seemed to be smaller than the first one. convenient location.

Well I personally like to eat here. I usually eat at Silver Platter for the 50 looks. But lately I ve been trying out the Cafe specials. And I must say I m getting to like the Cafe for the sit down atmosphere and the service is great. Watch those brownies they bring. Makes you ask for more. Almost 20 years of fun and good food my wife and have had here. Won some sizable sums as well. Makes it fun to buy treats after. Brought the family once so far for Crab. Must say lot cheaper and than the Talking Stick and service is better here. Wife prefers the crab here now so that problem is gone. Have a great day!

You come in you got to have a mask. BUT! If you smoke it's ok to take the mask off and smoke? Not in Nevada your asked to leave or put your mask back on I'm thinking what the governor think about that?

I love going to Fort Mc Dowell. .I go every weelend! There are a lot of great slots and more keno machine than amywhere else here in the area. You can play 1 nickel up to 20 nickels I would highly rocomend it!

Used to go there frequently. Havent been back in a while. Now I remember why. I know its gambling but back in the day you would at least win enough to keep going or even take home a little extra. Definitely not worth the drive. Won't be going back.

You pay $47 for the buffet but you can't eat it because the food is awful. Stay away everyone!

Was picked to be in a slot tournament which included free room,free food the night before,free breakfast,and the slot tournament. Everything was great except for the slot tournament.i was supposed to be in round 9 in tournament.i set my alarm in room for 8:30 am to goner breakfast and their alarm clock didn't go off in time.i wokee up at 1:45 and was supposed to be there at 11:20.i got there at 11:50 in which they still had round 11 and 12 to do. I explained to the person in charge that the alarm clock didn't go off.asked if I could do round 11 or 12. To make a long story short he said no in a cocky condisending Manor and with a smile on his face.said it was against the rules. Sorry that pissed me off and didn't think it was fair and he should of let me play.he was a dick

Food was better than some casinos, the staff was happy and helpful

We love fort McDowell it's great!!!!! And we love the restaurant.

Spent over $1000 did not win anything. Casino was not very clean and workers not very helpful to assist you. Go to ANY other casino if you want to enjoy yourself for a night out.

Best casino in Arizona!!! Live bands every weekend with friendly staff and wide range of selection of gaming. Definetly an A++ .
