Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

The slots were fun and I was able to play a long time.

FT. McDowell has some of the best conversation in town. My bank somehow decided to block my card halfway through my gaming experience. So i recommend spending your payroll checks in one full swoop. The hot dogs aren't half bad either. The fries awesome but don't forget the ranch. Until we see each other again. JKMN

Awesome buffet. Great crab leggs. Slots sucked. But a good time with family

We love coming here. Not too crowded and they have bands that come on the weekend that we enjoy listening to. Old and new video machines available plus different card games.

Huge and very nice atmosphere. Had a wonderful time really loved the live music .

Long way to walk from parking lot. No signs for casino entrance. Machines are tight.

Helpful staff nice crowd lot of promotions! Try it !?! Never know

Love the Saturday night buffet may seem pricey but really worth it.

They offer excellent free play once you reach a certain level, twice a week!

Great service and sushi! And a really interesting movie selection (not sure how to describe it)

Had a Great Time. With some friends, visiting from California. They had a Great Time Too...

We ate at the Cafe 87 and food was awesome. I had the ribeye and it was cooked to perfection and my husband had liver and onions and it was very good. Waitress was attentive and very friendly. Adam made feel at home and came by several times to check on us. Great experience. Will be back.
Did not do so good on machines

I.like the atmosphere but don't see a lot of hand pays,here

Went to all you can eat crab legs on friday and it was delicious. Very control atmosphere as far as servings. Before they use to have it all out and people will be selfish and fill the plates and not care about the next person but they have a server and she does a very good job. Love it. Quiet atmosphere, nice dim light and waiters are great. Ps 33.00 al you can eat crab legs not bad.

Beautiful area, wonderful staff, awesome casino games

They give a lot of rewards, bonus credits, and point play out to their loyal players. It's the higest pay out I've seen given at a casino. Keeps me coming back.

I ate at the sushi bar and was thoroughly impressed with Matthew, the sushi chef, abilities. The food was excellent and the servings for nigiri were excellent. Super friendly waitress that was very attentive. I will definitely be back!!

Cool decorations. Not much of a gambler, but it was a fun guys night.

Tightest slots I've played, takes and provides no wins. Will not be going back ever

Clean affordable this is my type of place to go have something to eat. With the regular deli, cafe 87, and red Rock buffet. Also in a community member of the tribe

Good as far as casinos go still have some of older one line slots thats what i enjoy good food

Super calm gambling experience, very friendly staff , just a short drive up the beeline hwy from mesa with almost no traffic.

Love love love this casino. It's in my top 3 of favorite casinos. It's one of the farthest but it's definitely worth the drive!!!

Worst for not following cdc guidelines...smokers coughing and sneezing without masks on.
Machines are dirty..torn seats on chairs. Smells dirty. Never going back....
Did not feel safe..not protected..did not feel fun ..felt stressful. Staff very non attentive...

Best Bingo in AZ!! I'm a poker player by nature but every once in a blue moon I will go and play bingo with my mom. Not the ideal place to have time with mom but we have a great time and I have WON some decent money playing at the Fort. Poker room is a bit smaller then im used too and there's always a game going on but this casino is all about BINGO. If your a bingo player this place is for you. They have a good selection of slots too and live card games as well like Blackjack and more. Live music, generally friendly staff, good food and of course you have the whole Hotel as part of the casino as well. All in all its a pretty good place, as long as u don't mind driving out on the Bush Hwy (87) towards Payson. In other words its not in town but who likes staying in the city everyday/all day....right? BINGO!!!!

Had a great time there even though I didn't win bingo or any money on the slots. Only complaint was New Year's Bingo meal should be for everyone not just those who paid more for the games. They should either do away with the meal or serve all bingo players.

Visited the cafe there based on their website and menu. The 3 stars is what was warranted based on the food. Too smokey to participate in the gaming...

Great place... feels like walking into an old smokey Vegas casino from the 70s

We had a nice late afternoon visit. We we're impressed with the lobster pot pie
The halibut was good. The last time I ordered it, it was a larger cut. I would try it again.

I like it because I like the people that work there especially the floor beverage server britt. Shes a sweetheart..it could stand to loosen up alot and let the peeps win more

They are getting really expensive. Use to play bingo for about $120. Now the same package cost around $200!

We had dinner the chicken tenders they were over cooked couldn't chew them! French fries were cold!

Boring and tons of elderly people than most casino. But you can smoke inside this casino during COVID19 pandemic. You my not smoke inside all other AZ casinos besides this one!

It's ok. Older. Had the buffet one night...last time we ate there. Was convenient to pop in for a little bit when we lived in Fountain Hills. Wouldn't go out of my way with newer casinos all around.

They didn't offer birthdayvor new member promotions...I spent my birthday weekend in AZ hit up all the casinos in the mesa/phoenix area and none of the offered promotions. Not even a dessert or anything im going to stick to NM for my casino fun.

Good luck...tight slots and non existent drink service.

The place is always kind of dead but the people at the silver platter restaurant in the morning are very nice ladies friendly just good people

Only downside is the condition of the building but a new Casino is already under construction. Best Bingo payouts in town.

Friendly atmosphere great place to hang out with your friend a double cheeseburger with potato chips free drink all day long soda coffee love the place I loved it

The food and the games and the the employees was all really good,and nice.very professional.I we will come back.thx for the fun r evening.

Won a little lost a little. Had to go to the bar to get drinks, as we didn't see anyone making rounds. Still had fun and was able to play for a good amount of time.

Casino help were all wearing face masks but a lot of players were not and the smoking was really bad.Social distancing was pretty good

Friendly service but they have to work on the exterior of the place.
