Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

It's a great place to gamble listen to a good band and dance also has several choices of eating venues

Nice place to Relax and loose your money. Lol but on a serious note it was Ok not big as I thought it would be machines wise.

We were extremely disappointed that when we called we specifically asked if the pools were open and heated only to see as we were walking down the sidewalk that they were covering them up after being told yes they're all up and running.why should we have to pay a resort fee if we can't use the resort!

I love the space it was my first time ever going to Fort McDowell it's been open at least 25-30 years and I'm a local a room is Affordable they're clean and nice and it never hurts to win a couple of jackpots would recommend it to others can get really busy there stayed at we-ko-pa

Just went for the matinee bingo. Didn't win but still had a good time

So stinky! How is it possible that people can smoke indoors still? Went in to get the membership card so I could use it for discounts on area attractions. Couldn t wait to get out as fast as possible but my clothes already smell after 10 minutes.

Very unique and colorful place to gamble away your life..

Definitely my last visit! The Casino is run down. Nobody looked like they were having fun. Gloomy! Sad! Nobody winning.

Smokey and ticket machines were down so had to wait forever to get cashed out. Also poker room took over an hour to get a seat.

Nice casino. For those of you that don't smoke. They have a non smoking section.

BEWARE AROUND THIS CASINO!!!! Not only they racist but they LOVE to accuse an elderly lady of "stealing" her own money after showing that she picked up her own $20.00 from an envelope that she had just got from withdrawing money before heading out there, she's been going to this casino since they first opened their doors and they want to "86" her out all because some black lady accused my grandma for stealing $30.00 but my grandma had dropped her $20.00 bill! FIRST OFF MY GRANDMA HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY SHE DOESN'T NEED TO STEAL MONEY! HER AND MY GRANDFATHER WHERE LOYAL TO THIS CASINO! STAY OUT OF THIS PLACE THEY ARE ALL CROOKED AND A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS! BLAMING AN ELDERLY LADY WHO DEPENDS ON A CANE OF STEALING! Oh and they walked her out and made her sit outside in the cold! Why not let her sit in an office? You guys need to really sit back and reevaluate how you run this place! If we could give 0 stars we would! My grandma deserves an apology from the pit bosses and any other managment that had nerve to accuse her of such things! This woman just lost her husband and is going there to escape reality and spending time there where her and my grandfather loved to be together and enjoyed it... hope you feel good about yourselves!

This place has been around a long time and has a good poker room then set up. The place is kind of dated and doesn't offer a lot of options as far as gaming compared to other casinos there yet.

Today was a special day for me and my wife we play all night and didn't win anything BUt when we arrive to the sushi bar to eat the first thing the waitres (Vicki) say is where is my soy sauce where it is ? Is it in in your wife purse? We fell bad horrible . What they do ????? Nothing so far

Tooooo tight on the slots- waste of $-for a party of four SOMEBODY should have won even a small pot- NUTHIN!

It's okay I guess but I'm a little spoiled by how Vegas used to be were they treated you like a king and it didn't cost hardly anything to eat

My wife and I stayed at the Ft McDowell hotel and casino Friday and Saturday night. Our room was comfortable and the swimming pool was relaxing and enjoyable. We spend too much time in the casino, but that is our choice. We enjoyed our weekend and plan to do it again in the future.

I agree The. Fort McDowell I believe is the best cosino. Well I had luck at bingo tonight. Just wish they would go bk to some things they had before I have been going since they first opened That's a very Long time! Just wish they would still have pickup for us in our area

Nice atmosphere they check your temp at front door. Way out there off the AZ87. But worth the drive

Busy place on Valentine's Day.
This place is due for a major renovation.

They just stay tight here. If you're looking to actually win once in a while go anywhere but here.

Went here once. It is small in comparison to other casinos and Not as noisy. If you are not fan of big and loud this is the place for you.

Though bingo was busy not enough staff to take care of people waiting in line to play. Also seating was cramped. Decided to leave and play slots instead

This casino is one of the nicest in the cleanest that I've been in a long time.Some of the things they offered to you are bingo and slot machines.they have to restaurants in the facility and they also have abuffet and that's what I went and had the prime rib medium rare of course and it was delicious

New machines which is kind of cool. Been going there for 8 years and have yet to win anything more than 100 bucks. So if you have money to blow and want a good dinner then it's a good night out. They just don't pay at all...

The prime rib is the best on Tuesday after 4 buffet yum yum

I saw a pack of wild dogs chasing an old lady in broad daylight. I decided to use valet parking. Dealers weren't too attractive best I saw was an Asian 8 bit no dimes. Meh

Not much consideration for the non smoker. Even in no smoking area still strong smoke smell. Maybe a more efficient filtration system. Otherwise was an enjoyable visit. Band was good.

No line for the tasty never-ending snow crab and then easily found a $5 table on Friday night; that doesnt happen where I'm from

It's a really nice Casino I enjoyed my visit and came out a winner

Claims 4 diamond status. However, they "Honestly don't know when you can check in."
This is the answer I was given after arriving at 1pm and originally being told our room would be ready by 4pm. Food in the restaurant directly across from hotel lobby was good.

They have the best payouts for bingo. Also a vast variety of times for nightowls or early risers. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Usually This is a Nice Buffet,,But Today it wasn't so Good..not a lot of meat choices as they usually have..or the desserts was as great as it usually is..

5 stars for the buffet. OMG-collard greens. Best on the planet

The buffet is pretty good get there early though. On Thursday and Friday it's love Maine lobster tail, $26.65 with players club card. There is everything else you can imagine, salad, desserts, and the seafood Bar, fried shrimp, cocktail shrimp (medium size), shrimp scampi etc. The place is packed. Drinks included 3pm-10pm on Fridays. Wednesday is all you can eat dungess crab so delicious! P.s you can also purchase without lobster for $16.95+ tax

Always have a great time going with my wife to Fort McDowell Casino we don't as often as we'd like do too financial reasons otherwise we'd live there

So much fun, black jack dealers are so friendly. Will always come back.

Enjoyed myself for being my first visit to Arizona it was well worth the fun

I don't play the machines but I do go dancing every week to the great band music on Wednesday morning. Lots of fun and friendly people!

I enjoy the bingo!! Its different. Wish they had more variety of games and definately need speed games. First hall I have been to that does not have. Also the slot area needs to have quarter, dollar, $2, $5 machines etc like Cherokee and Choctaw casinos (Oklahoma), penny machines suck as well as progressive. When playing a penny machine I do not like to spend 30 cents etc and when I hit get 2 cents or 4 cents back ridiculous. Food is priced well in the bingo area dont know about the other areas. Need to expand facility as well. People are friendly and always smiling. I have been only a couple times and people remember me lol I must be a big tipper. Now time to win....at least once. :)

The new fortune club is awful. Having to earn 500 points for the gift instead of 300 is ridiculous. Payouts have been terrible lately. Don't play with your card, your odds of winning lower. Amazing that when I stop playing with my card, I do better. NOT a coincidence.

Really miss the 25 cent older 3 wheel slots but the new casino is nice but they should add some of the older slots . Not everyone likes the new style slots. If you walk into a casino with the older slots that area is the busiest by far. So please add some and it would be a 5 star small casino.

Have a good time here when I come they seem to pay a bit more than usual here and the payouts are higher also. To me it seems like this is the place to go. They are about to open a new part of their casino I am looking forward to it.

Poor service & someone took a ticket we had in a poker game & security didn't fix the situation. Will not be going back & wouldn't recommend this casino to anyone..

First time having been there and id say it was a great experience!

Only went for the crab legs and they were pretty good... only 3 stars because the place reeks of cigarette smoke

One of my fav casinos. Older but classic. Great mix of old and new games. Not overly crowded
