oxford casino is nice, but would be better if there were more tables for the available table games. i waited for almost an hour to play ultimate hold em while there was at least one other ultimate hold em table open with no dealer or players present. one guy at the table lost all his money but continued to sit at the table for 20 mins with no chips in front of him. you would think the dealer would kick him out of the seat so someone with money can sit. then i finally get a seat, and the dealer seems nervous as hell. his hands were shaky, he was dropping chips on the floor, he didnt seem to have a full understanding of the hand values, and he almost paid me incorrectly on a 3 to 1 full house. i understand mistakes happen from time to time, but to be consistently making mistakes is rather annoying. its a casino, and the patrons expect a knowledgeable and skilled dealer. other than that, its a nice place that i will return to and play again.
For just being open a short time , this place will be hot, it's a great addition to the local economy, Our second home is close by on Norway lake so we have been going every weekend, Staff are
friendly and take the time to teach games when possible, although there are no hotels close by, within 30 miles there are all kinds of lodging and rest. and as I said before it's in a recreation area with many lakes,ponds & ski ares with mid-week and weekend rentals.
I like this place very much. It is crowded at times but the other part will be open soon. I do not find the slots tight, just not enough at the moment. Lots of people leave by 9 and there are many slots available after that. I have been there over 20 times. Yes, a limited menu but very good.
People are quick to complain. Yes it is small. No they are not allowed to comp drinks. Yes you have to step out to smoke. There is a good variety of slots. There are not many table games because this is the first phase and there is not enough space yet. I have gone with others 3 times and we always have fun. If you can't stand losing your money then you won't be happy in any casino. Given time and the expansion they plan it will be even better.
