Fort McDowell Casino Reviews

Most of the staff are exceptional and just a joy to be around, but the few ill-mannered, unfriendly employees can really put a damper on your evening... So unfortunate.

Have a great time really enjoyed myself clean Place very nice to visit

I gave them 3 stars because I have only been out there a few times. The first time it was just ok. The 2nd time I went on a Saturday morning around 8am, that day I won$4000 playing different slots. But today a Saturday morning again around the same time as before and the machines were cold as ice! The guy who always seems to be working at the bar acts annoyed when you ask him for something and the valet guy's are not very friendly. They have offered me tree nights and May stay on a Friday and Saturday night to see if it's any better

This is the place to go if you're looking to be held up and robbed legally and no deals here for reasonably priced food

It's okay but quite a distance to travel for a gamble.

Best BINGO in Arizona!
Winner winner!

It's a bit of a drive from Phoenix but an easy drive. Played bingo here for the first time. Having never played before, I thought it was still all cards and those daubers, but the have electronic cards, and all you have to do is watch and yell out bingo. I didn't get to do that... Casino game floor was pretty clean, though it was a weekend, so cigarette ashes, and empty cups were here and there. (If you go somewhere to visit, don't be a slob.) Game selection was not bad, it's not Vegas after all.

Put 100$ only hit 3 bonus'es n won back let then I had over all bet the games are rigged for certain days n guaranteed u won't win jack sh** on a holiday or three day weekend!! I used to enjoy the fort but now it's starting to look like a complete rip off!

Its hard to rate a casino after having the Talking Stick in your back yard nothing measures up. Cant breath in this place the ventilation is terrible if your a non smoker.

One word trifling. Mean old people even at the players club

Very poor poker room. We joined a game, the only one and were immediately made to feel extremely unwelcome. Comments being made etc.
We do not live anywhere near the casino and the other players made us feel very uncomfortable. We left and won not ever return.
The buffet got the price wasn't bad but very small. Service was decent.
The slots were not too bad.

Staff not courteous, no offer of any kind of drinks....except liquor.

Love the prime rib on thursdays! All you can eat!, What!?

This Casino establishment offers poor air circulation systems. Yes, casinos allow for smoking this is not an issue. But this casino in particular has the worst air system. Im a smoker and I could barely stand to stay in the building. I will not be coming back.

I love this Casino it s a nice place to come play relax

Went to the buffet. Tonight Prime Rib (a little tough) & very good Lobster. Salad were good, but desserts looked good, but were so-so.

Went there for my 21st wedding anniversary, didn't win a penny but the chicken fried steak was delicious...

I wish they would get someone that knows how to run the place. If you go late you have to walk way around. They lock the doors close to the parking lot. I am handicap so I stay away from there allot more than l used to. I love to gamble.

Crab legs were delicious! Felipe our waiter was Great!

Lots of great machines to choose from. Table games have great people, who instruct a person on how to play, and people do win.

The Buffett serves the best food. Prime Rib, and Seafood. Good waitresses and quit friendly. Always welcoming staff.

My favorite Casino in the Valley. Easy to get to and loads of free parking.

Hope to be there again soon.

Another good casino, lots of slots. Great bingo and places to eat. Only draw back is they are a ways out!

Wonderful environment, staff friendly, excellent payouts.

Had a wonderful time. Didnt win but the food and the entertainment were great!

Friendly staff, food was good. We ate at the diner. Had ice-cream later which was good. Prices were good. Went to game and had a good time.

Played the tables and had fun. Dinner was great and complimentary.

Such a great company to work for, i hope i get the job.

It's no longer exist! Changed over to we ko pa, it's clean and smoke free, very nice, little small and still under construction.

I really appreciate that they opened up paigow for me. When you go to play the game you want and none other will do, then you ll walk out with your cash if it doesn t open. So they opened it. Also got 10$ free cash when sign up for the card to play on the slots. Good slot machine variety, the sushi bar restaurant is amazing and the location is not too far out but gives you the feel of being out of the city. Can not wait until the new casino is built!

Stopped here on the way home from a hiking day trip. The bar had a selection on beer on tap and also pretty good cocktails. We were surprised to find a digital roulette machine and was excited to play. There was also a live band playing which was cool. Whenever we are back in the area we will definitely stop back.

The bingo is more expensive than I used to be and doesn't pay out anywhere nearly as well and a slot machines are tight so if you want to donate money it's a great place to go you thinking of going to win go somewhere else.

They have a no smoking area and still have a selection of the old three quarter slots

Great day . My husband and I won some money and ate pizza n ice cream at the 50s Cafe. Always good food n fun

Excellent customer service and a great place to visit

Very clean, nice employees but they need to smile... clean and fresh bathrooms.... pay out is good.. worth the drive to visit this casino...

Casino typical, went for the lunch buffet. Was pleased, very inexpensive.

I am not much of a Gambler but I sure loved dancing on the floor with DJ Dominic!! Had a blast?

Great place to go to eat drink and maybe even win a little cash!

I never win at this casino,Not once... Not never!
But they have an awesome transportation deal... You pay only $10. And they provide bus trip to and from casino and also give you $25. Free play gambling money. Which is really cool even if I don't win I guess.

We go here for the buffet. Its affordable and the food is good

alot of people asking for money all the time with the same "my ride left me line"

Great food service is always great. The atmosphere is not quite fine dining but it is nice.

Very smoky in the bingo hall. No ventilation. Changing to 4 stars. Thank you for the response!~ Can always sit in non-smoking if I want too! Everything else is great and I love your bingo!

Place looked so old and run down. Including the machines. They need to shut her down for a few days and put in new carpeting and do a paint job and a good cleaning. Or they need to build a new one near this one.

the slots weren't hitting but still spent $200 trying!

This is my Favorite Casino!!! Also I ate at the Silver Platter and the food was Fantastic, the Server, Crystal was Awesome and the Manager Adam was Wonderful!!! I Highly This Casino and I can't wait to come back and see the F&B Manager Adam

Buffet was great, Once again, Staff was very helpful with the way I eat "no meat products " . Thank you Fort McDowell Staff!

It's not hard to win, it's hard to walk away when u r

Under construction so parking is pretty inconvenient

Not enough circulation. Very smoky, however the staff very friendly. Slots are pretty tight, rarely see any winners & I visit about once or twice a month

Lots of jackpots even when it's crowded you can find slots to play

Played bingo the times I have been there. Take the bus. Haven't won even partial. Listen to people talking and guess you can't win there unless you spend hundreds. Probably won't go back. 1 lady 5 wins????

Great deals if you get the club card. Chef's salad was good.
