I can never hit at this place. My wife can however. She seems to always win $500 and last trip hit $2500. Its fun to get away for a few hours as it is close to Lubbock. If you like betting on the ponies it can be fun. Resturants are ok. We did get sick on the oyters last time but thats our fault for getting oysters in Hobbs NM. We will go again as we usually got 3-4 times a year. Ruidosso is much better but twice as far. Of coarse Vegas is so much better but with kids who can get away to Vegas more than a couple times a year.
I have been to this casino quite a few times since it has opened. It started off as not a very good casino. The machines are extremely tight and they never payed off very good. Yet as I like to gamble I went back more and more hoping that it would get better. Well actually it has. The machines are looser and there is a bigger of variety of machines. And they are the latest ones too. And in all denominations too. They have no table games, just the machines with the automated dealers. I never played them but from what I hear, people don't win off them hardly at all. And the minimums are way too high. The service is getting better too. Yet the food is still not that good. The buffet is not that pleasing, as the food does not look very good and is sometimes cold. The steakhouse there is about the best value, but it's only open there at night and only on certain days. The players club is getting better with more mailers and more opportunities to win money. Still it's a fun casino. It could be better. And I hope that they do try to make it better.
