Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I've been going here for the past18 years it used to be great but when they shutdown and reconfigured everything it just went downhill,nothing really paysout anymore and the kicker is the past three weeks in a row you can't use your card to claim your free play or earn points for promotions yet they still keep sending them out and advertising them!! I honestly don't think I'll go back again. Riverwind is giving me a total of $470 this month and they actually honor it!!

I checked this casino out at several different times, different weeks and their machines do NOT play enough to let you keep playing let alone win. I don't know who they have assigned as the manager over the last 10 yrs but it STINKS! They play horrible music when most only want to hear their machine if it goes off, they let smokers ruin it for everyone else that DOESN'T smoke and run them out, it's a dingy place to go and try to relax because you are stressing out from LOOSING! Food is the only positive in the place now. Someone destroyed the hit rates.

Today was my first visit, I was very pleased with everyone I came in contact with. I even had an incident at the BJ table that was totally my fault, I got confused because I was playing 2 deck shoe and used to playing 6 deck, rules are a little different than than 6 deck shoe, I accidentally hit a hard 14 with the dealer showing a 6 up card (I'm an experienced blackjack player and would never do that). At exactly the same time time he was throwing me a 9 I told him I didn't mean to hit it, he called the pit boss over and he burned the card! He didn't have to that because it was totally my fault for calling for a hit. Anyway, it was a very pleasurable experience especially with the dealers! Will definitely be going back.

This was the worst casino experience of my life. I was never helped when I had an issue with my machine and gave up after waiting for over 30 mins! The slot techs are horrible and the front desk was rude the whole time I went to get my card. It’s very smoky and smells horrible. Also I noticed a lot of the machines were in need of repair. Whoever runs the slots must be really lazy! And someone needs to fire the GM. The Employees look unhappy all the time. Depressing environment.

My mailer started going to a vacant lot address while my players card was compromised and someone else playing my card, had my PIN number apparently given to them by a worker allowing this person to download my points I earned along with any free play on my card. That is so twisted, I would like to file CHARGES against that person. I changed my PIN and then the following visit the PIN was set back on the old number again by the employee at the DESK! All my points gone again. Some people there not only need to be fired but PROSECUTED for embezzlement. If you are not a person of dark color you don't get called in the drawings either. This place has cheated me!

When I could not get a machine to cash out, went to players club for help. Their attitude was "so what", they would send someone when they got a chance. We waited about 15 minutes, no one came. Went back to players club they said the technicians were busy. We went looking for technicians, they were standing around doing nothing. Finally about 30 minutes later I got my cash out.

If you read my other reviews this was the place to go to in the oklahoma city area to play blackjack. they do offer a 2 deck game which is good. Now like the rest of the casinos around here they too are charging "ante" to play basically the 50 cent charge a hand to make MORE money for the casino, they offer no ante monday-wednesday as blackhawk did but HEY i don't get out to play monday to wednesday, i have a job like most gamblers. So i'm done traveling to balckhawk in shawnee or thunderbird to play blackjack and will save my money for out of state as tunica where you are rewarded for table play not charged extra! to play. I did play 20 dollars of my point play played for 2 hours and walked out with 10 so still a fun place to play slots but they have lost me as a regular customer because of greed on their end, good luck and save your money to get out of oklahoma to go play at a state regulated casino, that's what i'm going to do

I play a lot of blackjack which is the reason i play at thunderbird and blackhawk in shawnee. I was out there a couple on nights ago and played for 45 minutes or so. I know the one pit boss Steve and asked if i could get a comp although i had not played an hour i was out a couple of weeks ago and played 30 minutes or so. The new rule there is you have to play 60 minutes solid to get a 7 dollar food comp! He said yes but the oriental gal who was running the pit said flat NO! Then they have hired these young kids doing security which i noticed were giving patrons a hard time for no reason, i guess they were bored. I think the variety of machines is okay but the management atmosphere and the atmosphere of the whole casino has changed for the worse. I suggest going out to blackhawk as they will comp you a meal readily and actually do direct mail offers that are as good as any i've seen so far in oklahoma

I realize this casino like most can be smokey, it is comical to see the chain smokers that live in the casinos. other than the smoke they are giving the casino a facelift and have added some new 25 cent machines which are fun to play. i was there recently and had one go into spin mode and paid the top amount. also the fact they do not charge you to play blackjack give comps to the deli for playing tables, and give one percent cashback makes it worth the drive instead of the closer casino to me which is riverwind

This is very hard to get to from the Metro area and the slots are so tight it's not worth the drive out there. You would think they would have loose slots to try and get the Metro business?

It's my first time coming to the place and I just want to know how much of a free play do you receive first time or do you give first timers anything
Written 10 October 2021
I believe I did receive free play when I first signed up but it has been so long ago that I don’t remember the amount. I currently get flyers in the mail (each mont or every other month) letting me know when I have free play, the dates and how much it is for.
Hope that helps! 😊
