Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

Fun Bingo! Especially when you are there with GREAT Friends!

Good food. Cafe 87 $4 breakfast until 4pm. We all don't get up early. And A New York Deli with great selections and prices. Then over to the Silver Platter in the Bingo hall for Ice Cream. Average Buffet.

Good good food ! Play wheel of fortune for sure . Cafe 87 is a must

The food is good, it is cheap it is familiar in the food area and they have machines for children to take out toys so children and adults are entertained with a variety of machines

If I could give them negative I would...it's dirty it stinks, the lady with grey hair behind the desk where you get players card was beyond rude..and the guy behind there was zero help...never go here..stick to Wild horse or Maricopa. ..

I like playing Bingo.but what are the odds of hitting Bingo every time you go to Bingo. I have been playing Bingo for 40 years everywhere. I have never seen people hit all the time. Can you save some for us little people. I'm hoping to hit Bingo so I can play more Bingo at the Fort. I like playing Bingo at the Fort.

Pleasant visit. When construction is done I hope it will be nicer.

Only really go when I want to play Mr. Cashman, otherwise it's a DUM

Great fun.Friendly staff.Buffet pricey.could be better.Slots have been tighter then usual since announcing new casino.

Oasis in the desert on the outskirts of town totally established

The new casino is very pretty. It's nice not to smell from stinky smoke.

Just laid out badly. Got all turned around in it. Nothing spectacular stood out.

Clean and employees r so accomodating to their customers...thank u ft mcdowell

Slots are so tight you was lucky if you got bonus round

Great machines.free valet parking great buffet. Nice perks.

Finally I made it there for my 1st time and i had a great time. Very clean and atmosphere was terrific. After getting my players club card i was ready to play...was a bit bummed that for as far as we drove to get there i only recieved $10 in free play. However, not even 24 hours later i received a call from Bella at the Rewards Center she asked if we wanted to enjoy a free room on them. Well most certainly i obliged and it was spectactular. Everything was super clean, jets in the tub relaxed every muscle in my body. The pool i give 4 3/4 's needs to be a little deeper in the pool. Had a great time at casino the little venue for late night food inside casino did superbly on our food. We slept so deep and melted into the bed to wake up better than we have in a while. My card was charged and money was not credited back after checkout. It has been over a week and i called, spoke to Bella and explained r for my call, she checked in to it and her professionalism and customer care are A+++. She got right on it and called me a very short time later and let me know it was a mistake and i will have it as soon as they can get it processed. Bella Thank You for the exceptional customer service You are Genuineness shows in your voice. Thank you!! We will definitely be returning in the future (sometime real soon)!!

Slots may be a bit looser than other nearby casinos...

New building which has poker a bingo section and various eatery. Much more up to date slots. Friendly service and ample parking garage.

Went there to enjoy Bingo , reasonably priced , free complimentary drinks such as coffee, soda ,tea, etc.. also have bus transport to the casino from designated pickup spots and times ....

Great buffet. Crab legs, prime rib! The food was amazing, I have never seen a selection of desserts like they have here. I am stuffed! The service was really good. The staff is friendly and quick. Even the manager stops by your table to check on things. As far as the slots, I took out $60 and left with $91.10 after an hour of slot fun. Great place to go to spend a few hours.

I Love Fort McDowell!!! We go to play Bingo and it is so much fun I can't stand it.

First time at this buffet and had the prime rib. I don t know what it was or if the meat was bad but this prime rib had the worst funkiest smell. We told our waiter and he too agreed. When the manager was called over she smelled the prime rib and she too agreed and advised us she would speak with the chef. They both adviced us not to eat the rest of the meat (that s how bad it smelled). Not once did she return to apologize for the inconvinience or to explain. Disappointing to say the least especially when you pay a good dollar for dinner. Couldn t enjoy the rest of the dinner due to this incident. Bright side to this disappointing story is that the crab legs were good! Lol

Fun fun fun great staff smoke free great pools and hot tubs!!

Use to be my favorite casino . The pay out as increased recently .

Like the Fort. Good casino. Good buffet. Great rewards on card.

They don't pay out very well. Ok place to go if you just want to give someone your money.

I'm giving it 5...because I got lucky that night . I love this girl

So much fun! Played for hours at the blackjack table with only a small amount of money. The dealers made it fun!

The ladies were super hot and willing to hang with you

Gave it a try for Southern Buffet. It just didn't do it for me. The menu was limited very disappointed. They had the usual however there were no hush puppies( also known as hot water cornbread), grits or baked mac n cheese. Chicken was delicious pork chops looked good but in all honesty I wasn't moved. Clean atmosphere in the restaurant service was so so. It was a girls night, but we will not be back here.

You do not win in the machines everything is losing

People ain't very nice, food was overpriced and tasted horrible.

Machines tight been going there for 8 years never won more than 400 dollars

Used to love this place. Went twice a week but now they have changed their reward system and its not good that they took away the weekly food credit

Stinky old place with old games. Aware you're building a new casino thx
goodness.

Came for the buffet, which was great. Being that we were underage to gamble, we were stalked by security the whole time we were there. But it was a fun getaway from the city.

Machines are tight couldn't get any bonus on any machines with playing 1.00 & 1.50 a spin.. Food is pricey.
I will never go again

It's beautiful and the people there are so friendly

Perfect day and weather to hang out at the casino. The staff were all very helpful and extremely understanding of my daughter's situation. Not very crowded at all, very clean and sanitary. The only thing that drew my attention would be that there was no available handicapped parking, but on a positive note, the parking spot that we were able to find was very accessable to curved easy on/off sidewalk's, made for easy access to the main entrance. Totally recommend!!

Nice distraction while I waited to be admitted to the hospital. Lol, ok slot selection

It was very clean at the entire facility. The individual at the entry made you feel welcome.

Fun and less crowded than casino AZ. Bingo is cheaper to play here than anywhere else. Bingo can be a lil slow paced sometimes. Fun slots and games. Clean.

Spend the best times of my life here along with my husband and my children and always have a great time.

My first and favorite Arizona Casino. Get ready to WIN!

All you can eat snow crab every Weds 3-9pm . Got here around 7ish and waited in line for about 30 minutes. Discount price w/ players club card, otherwise it's 28.95 .. The selection is ok, crab is severed warm, drinks are unlimited refills. Service is so so... Worth the wait, price w players club goes down to 22.95... definitely miss the days this use to be 9.99..

Once again had a great weekend.this place is a great cozy chill spot. All tho it will be gone forever next summer"Sad" but hopefully new casino has same cozy feel.and if anyone from the fort reads this please put lots of game king kenos in new casino..Thats what brings me here..keep up the great work!

To me it seen they downsize from the last time I was there a year and a 1/2 ago.

FALSE ADVERTISING
Easter Buffet states Lox ... there was NO Lox nor any intention of placing any out on the Buffet.
They did have Snoked Salmon, but NO Lox.

It's not to crowded and the machines pay out pretty good. We always come away feeling that we got our money's worth.

I have been here to eat sushi 2 different times and I would go back just for the food again. The sushi rolls are huge the sodas are free, mix that in with a lil entertainment and u have a winner. I get the Vegas rolls which are just HUGE....and I get like 15 games of keno and I sit at the bar where I can see my keno numbers and when the games are over so am I. The smoking here is killer I feel light headed and sick after just over an hour in there. American cancer is not dying anytime soon with people smoking like that. Anyways 4 stars good food, best sushi in arizona.

Great buffet.. stop in on the way to Payson for a bite of good food and a little gambling.
