I just stayed at this resort casino the first week of May with my friend. We go on a few big gambling trips a year, usually to places like Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno, Take Tahoe.
First the cons: This was our first time gambling in OK. What a shock, let me tell you. First jaw dropper was the 'state' takes a $0.50 'ante' for every bet placed. That's right, for a $10 table minimum bet, you are paying an extra 50 cents a hand. Ok, that is irritating, highly shady, but whatever. Then we are sitting there playing the tables, and drinks are NOT complimentary. Not only do they charge you for drinks while you are losing your money to them, the drinks are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced and the waitresses are slower than molasses. What a scam! One white Russian was $7.50 and it was mostly ice cubes. highway robbery. The tables, we did awful. I don't expect to win a pile of chips in ten minutes, what I do expect is to go back and forth and keep playing for a couple of hours. I lost $300 in an hour at the minimum bet tables. (Blackjack, let it ride, four card poker, and Texas hold em). The slots were pretty bad as well. Let me tell you a FACT, the slot machine reels turn and stop more quickly than anywhere else I have ever played. This is so greedy, so not only are you losing because they never pay out or give bonuses, but you are losing at a faster rate because the reels stop quicker so you have to spin/play more quickly! I am NOT imagining this! LOCALS beware, you are being TAKEN for suckers by this casino!! The Pros: The rooms were on par or above anything in Vegas. They were just awesome. Very stylish, clean, the bathrooms were luxurious. The restaurants were good, we ate at the 1832 steakhouse. The prices were ok for a casino steakhouse, not super. The air filters on the casino floors were outstanding. they did a great job of keeping the place from being smoky. Unless you were sitting right next to a person smoking we couldn't smell smoke on the casino floor. Conclusion: I would definitely go here to do a weekend getaway at the resort. I wouldn't gamble here though until they make some serious changes in their protocols and loosen up the slots znd offer some free drinks.
