Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

Had a great time. The casino was clean, well ventilated, had a great sandwich at their NY Deli restaurant.

I'm not sure about going back to the fort anymore. It used to be my favorite casino, but they are not taking the covid very seriously. I've been to the other casinos in town and they are right on top of the mask, hand sanitizer, and wipes, but I really couldn't believe the amount of people walking around smoking, people with no mask. How do they even keep their employees safe never mind the patrons. Not a fan anymore.

Fun place. Good times. Great hearing Thaddeus Rose Band play at lucky 7 saloon!

This is my most favorite casino in Arizona. I like visiting different ones but this one has a plethora of different games to satisfy even the picky gambler. Cafe 87 has the best bfast and M-R it's $5.00 for eggs, potatoes, meat and a pancake or toast..but you have to have a players card. I also just spent the night at the hotel...loved it!! Rooms are super clean, spacious and the front desk folks are the nicest people. I'm actually going to do another night at the resort before I go back to teaching in August; but this time I'm going to pamper myself at the Spa so I will be ready for my freshman class and for a fabulous year of teaching!

So worth it love the Saguaro what a challenge all the way back hit every club in the bag. The views are amazing the service is excellent can't beat it and the course for summer was amazingggg.

Midnight Bingo has gone down the tubes.. Never see anybody hitting a jackpot on casino floor.. But its a cheap casino (mainly penny slots) .. Good luck

Price of the buffet outrageous!! Cigarette smoke everywhere! We couldn't beathe!! ALL of the players had deer in headlight stares and sour Grinch faces. The employees looked as happy as the customers!
A sad place to visit... First and last visit ever!

Clean , easily accessible, large area for bingo, had seperate area for slot machines and another for card games.

Very relaxed atmosphere..love the penny machines and friendly staff.

Well the casino is always fun but I am Irish and we Irish have no luck at all! Lol!. Lost money but had fun!

For what the casino takes in they should provide breathable air. Either their equipment is undersized or undermaintained!

The finest casino in Arizona! The amazing food at red rock buffet the bingo is relaxing the slots are loose the poker is great and you will have an endless time to play till your hearts content. You owe it to yourself to enjoy top quality gamming at its finest and if your to tired to drive home the resort will surely make you feel like your on cloud 9!

Fort McDowell is an awesome place to go when you want to go to a casino that offers machines that don't cost as much as the others.

Very entertaining Casino with a very friendly staff! Did help when my dad hit a penny slot jackpot, true story!!

It's a nice Casino. I'm not a big gambler but my out of town guest are. There are non smoking areas for bingo and slot machines. My only complaint is that no one seemed to be winning!

Typical smokers and older crowd but it is a casino. The crowd is usually more friendly than the other casinos around Phoenix. Best thing is that they actually give you something for being a rewards member... unlike the other casinos around here.

Rude people and workers need a hearing aide in ordere to get their attention. And machines are faulty and people. Dont people know us travelers are from duncan AZ??. Damm i want to funle a complaint on them or file a lawsuit on the casino. If you want more info email me her sincerely Joshua Small

Was a great night and first time there loved it ..was with my best friend like her so

Good casino but A LOT OF CIGAR ODOR!
Fast food in New York deli
In the buffet is fine but little expensive for the variety they have.
The good thing is that there is Truck Parking

Ok Casino, can get a little warm and stuffy inside.

Too smoky. Machines are kind of old. Air quality is poor. Great choice of restaurants though.

This is great casino to go to if your looking to get away from the normal hustle of the city. They also have an amazing hotel if you want to have a couple drinks while you gamble. They have slots, Bingo, poker, keno, and plenty of fun.

Definitely needs an upgrade or renovations. Good selection of slot machines, I won $400 in high limit. My husband tried the poker but they do seem to pay more attention to the regulars. Can't gain new regulars if you favor them more... and will cost you more long term then to keep the usual. The rewards don't seem to accumulate easily which is a shame considering this location is far. Otherwise, this Casino is okay...

Like this casino but the cigarette smoke is terrible!

Went to Cafe 87 had a decent dinner before the amazing fireworks but the service is what stood out. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional wait staff was better than ever expected. Don't let the misspellings on the menu put you off, if anything it gives a good chuckle before dinner and who doesn't need that?!?

It was a nice place. They have nice people and a great buffet.

Not paying st all, the same people win bingo over and over. Us regular people want to win too. But the payouts are nice better than any other bingo hall in Arizona hands down.

The casino has the best bingo games with big payoffs. The slots are like any slots anywhere sometimes hot sometimes cold. Good food.

The Bingo was a total rip off. The people running it were nasty. Don't make a sound if you go here. The food wasn't fit for my dogs. They gave me 25 dollars free money on slots and the machine screwed up and took 90 per cent of it on the first roll. We just walked out. Don't go here!

If you re over 70 and smoke like a chimney this is your spot. If you still have a life and enjoy doing fun things stay far away from this place. My wife and I went to play bingo on a Saturday night a few weeks back. We have never been so we were excited. Got all of our papers and made our way to a table... there were nothing but old people in there. The people by us could tell we were noobs and started very intensely instructing us what to do. We didn t ask for help but they insisted on giving it anyway. That kinda ruined our fun as this couple was hovering over us the entire night.. Didn t realize that bingo also is like a 3 hour deal so if you have any plans just cancel cuz you ll be at the casino all night. The bingo hall reeks of cigarette smoke and desperation. You re better off playing the AZ Lottery if you want to give some money away. Pretty sure I have lung cancer from just sitting there too.

Never seems that the slots are very giving but that's gambling.

Of all the Indian casinos surrounding the valley, Fort McDowell being the first is still the most quaint, has the best service, best selection of older and newer machines, good food, good Buffet, clean, good service, good place!

Small and cozy welcoming in alot of ways that other casinos arent. Definitely going back

A little dated.... But being updated and expanded to be renewed by June 2020. Small poker room of 10 tables without auto shufflers

Great environment, friendly waitresses, dealers, and pit bosses. Great food selection, you have 4 choices for food, take your pick. Live music on select days and time. Check their website out for great deals and prizes. Sign up for there card and grab a calender

Great casino. I seem to have better luck with this one.

Needs more incentive to play didn't find games I like

Decent casino, clean and didn't smell smoking. Lots of new machines

Smokey. Fish labeled salmon was really cod. Prime was overly salty. Desserts were frozen.

Very nice. Clean. Only complaint is that they allow smoking.

Love bingo and everything else keep up the good work

Very quiet in the morning. Had breakfast and it was great!
