Nice place but the payout on the slot machines is horrible. I have tested some slot machines and dropped $100.00 in a machine at a time and not a single win. On some machines I have won have very little payout. The only one time I was on a roll wining I was kicked off the mechine and they shut it down why they did that I have no idea. This place just takes your money. I have no intention to strike a huge jackpot but when you put a few hundred at max bet I expect something. If your looking to lose a lot of money this is the place for you. However if you want to hit big save your money travel to other casino with more competition in the area.
The rooms are great, staff is great. Have been here three times in the last month, the slots kept me playing for hours and hours at least and i even left a little bit ahead. Some of the others in the area suck ya dry in no time. They have nice self serve beverage stations, clean restrooms, and cleaning people around constantly cleaning ashtrays,floor and machines. The food is very expensive and it sucks is the only bad thing I can say about this place.
I have to say, a few months ago I went to Oaklawn Casino, they had the casino divided up half was smoking and non-smoking. It had a great atmosphere.
I can't say the same for Cherokee Casino the entire place was smoking and they had a tiny room for non smoking with only a few games. We played the slots and won on several games. My wife said the lady giving her cashout money to her was very courteous. We did not get any food or drink. The buffet look good but we had already eaten, I was not going to rate the players club or the food and drink since I did not use, but it will not allow you go on so I have them 3 on both.
