UPDATE TO KANSAS STAR ON FEBRUARY 9th 2014 KEEP DRIVING TO OKLAHOMA:
TRAVELERS BEWARE! The Kansas Star has become the slum of all casinos. The last visit validated my last post, KEEP DRIVING TO OKLAHOMA. Slots were even tighter, patrons were upset, mad and disgruntled on the floor and especially in the high rollers room, where slots were not paying out in the high rollers room or on the main floor. Dirty cups and trash were evident all throughout the casino and only two employees visible working the main playing area. MOST have been layed off, those who do still work there HATE their jobs. Wichitians are in hopes of a new indian casino to be built just north of Wichita. In the mean time, Oklahoma is STILL the place to go to have fun and win. You are only 45 minutes away from the OKLAHOMA casinos.
Keep driving to OKLAHOMA where you have a far greater chance of winning. Read the reviews on trip advisor as well, where many have reviewed this casino ranking it as very tight! Driving by, the outside looks like a big beautiful casino, but after spending a few minutes inside, you will figure out how they could afford it. This is just a honest "heads up" travelers BEFORE you exit the turnpike at the Mulvane turnpike exchange. Oklahoma casinos are only about 45 minutes on south of the Kansas Star!
You feel good going in but things turn ugly when you start to gamble. Have not lost that bad in any other casino. VERY tight slots. If you ever do get a bonus, which sucked up half my bankroll just getting, the payout is insulting.
This place is awesome! The motel is open and the atmosphere is great! I have been to this casino numerous times and have done very well each time. I am not a big spender but I always seem to break even or spend less than $40 which to me for a night out is not bad. The full casino will open Dec 19, 2012 and slots and tables games will double in the 100,000 square foot permanent casino. I love the place, hope you love it too!
