I have been going to the Oklahoma casinos for about 4 years now. I used to go to Windstar because I live in Plano and it was closer, or seemed closer, than Choctaw. But when Windstar remodeled and became larger than the law should allow, the jackpots became smaller and smaller. So I started to go to Choctaw and I spend a lot of money - I mean a LOT and I have noticed that the main slots I would play which are mr. moneybags, liberty 7's, gems and jewels and all those in the high roller area, are not paying nearly as much as they used to.



This seems to be since the casino shut down a couple months ago to reset and re microchip the machines. Many regulars talk - we are all like a big club of 'friends' - everyone mentioned that the slots are not paying like they used to. That is what keeps up coming back - the fun of playing and winning.



Most of the time we avid players will put most of the money back, but the winning was at least mutual - win some, play some back in, win some, play some back in. Now it is just play back in and don't win as much.



I have lost a couple thousand in a day playing machines that would usually hit a jackpot or accumulate a nice sizeable amount but it is just not happening anymore.



I know the Choctaw people think that we will still come because we are all hooked and gambling addicts - but remember this people - a crack head does not go the same crack dealer if the crack does not get him high anymore - think about that you Choctaw owners - you will see a huge drop in business just like Winstar.

I have been going to Choctaw in Durant for couple of years now. When they built the new casino by the 75 highway, it was great. The slots were paying half way good. BUT, now since they are building the new one this casino has really gotten tight.



Yes, they are in the business of making money, but when you put $100 in different slot machines and if you get back $20 you're doing good. They have also been getting fined at the end of the month for NOT paying out the jackpots they are suppose to.



I have been on various internet sites, as well as talked to the locals and they have even said Choctaw would rather pay the FINE than payout on the machines. Do they not know this will run off TEXAS customers? The internet spreads bad reviews very fast.



I dont mind losing money BUT when you play several machines and get nothing this is not FUN. Pretty much the only machines that do hit are the $25? slot machines. The same machine will hit over and over again. I figure if these people can afford to play the $25 machines they can afford to lose some.



If you want to stay in business with the NEW hotel and casino coming, you're going to have to loosen up the slots, or you willl end up like Winstar. THEY got too large and have too big of an overhead now and you can't win anything there either.I



? thought Shrevport was tight, but Oklahoma casinos take the cake as well. It would be nice just to be able to play for a while and get SOME money back just so you could keep playing for a while and have some fun.



When you get so large you have too big of an overhead, having to pay these high end entertainers, plus more help etc... I am coming to play the slots, not watch entertainment.



It's a shame because handled the right way these Oklahoma casinos could make large amounts of money AND payout to the customers at the same time to keep them coming back. Thanks for the chance to voice my opinion.
