We gamble all over the southeast and by far without comparison the cherokee casinos slots are a rip off. They make it obvious that the slots are set not to pay anything. We only go to see if anything has changed and to keep our diamond status with ceasars entertainment . We are always disappointed when we go to either of the harrahs cherokee casinos in NC. I will be soo glad when the new casino in Charlotte gets built so we will have somewhere else to go. I hear the cherokees just pay a fine each year for such low slot payouts. We understand the notion of the random luck factor as it relates to slots but these slots are obviously rigged heavily against the patrons. They use something called server based gaming (as most modern casinos now do) but it's obvious that they have all of their slots set to about a 10% payout from the server itself.
