Buffalo Run has been running a big TV and radio promotional; program, touting the "loosest slots in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma". They also are pushing the idea that since they haven't built a new casino building, they are "In the Black and paying Back".

My wife and I, three - four years ago, went to Buffalo Run quite regularly, and did as well on the slots as we did anywhere else, and better, I think, on average, than most other Native American casinos in the area.

We stopped going there however when we seemed to stop having any luck on the slots. A couple weeks ago, we returned based on their big advertising promotion, to see if we noticed any difference in the slots. We went through our night's 'budget' in short order, and seemingly the slots were just as hungry, or maybe even moreso, than they had been when we stopped going there a few years ago.

I do think the atmosphere there is fine, and the employees as responsive as most any other casino. The player's club is average, and we fine nothing particularly good or bad about the food and drink services.

For my money however, (and that is the money I am most concerned about!) I will not be going back anytime soon. There are other casinos, newer and nicer, with equal or better food, drink and customer services, closer to my home where I seem to at least have some luck during an evening on at least one or two slot machines, even if not winning any big jackpots. I know I can play longer on my money at these other casinos, than I can at Buffalo Run on that same amount of money. And since slots are the only thing I play, that is the bottom line.
