Their comps are good if you can choose your times. My wife gets better offers than I do, because she plays keno. Casinos are stingier with video poker players like me, for good reason. But we get two free rooms a month, and free (for her), half price (for me) meals at the three fairly good restaurants. On Thursdays 5-10, you get $50 free play when you've played 100 points, and that's on top of initial free play ($5 for me, $30 for spouse). In addition, there's a hot seat drawing every half hour. A skilled player will always lose less than $50 in getting to 100 points, so I win every Thursday night, probably an average of +$30-40 for 2-3 hours play. That's not much, but more than pays for the gas driving there, and we make a night of it with the free room and ultra-cheap dining. It's nice to have a sure thing, but only if you play video poker and play it well.
An above average casino with lots of monthly promotions and events. I can't think of any particular slot machines they don't have. The buffet is okay and they often give you coupons that reduce the price by 5 dollars. They have no ante on table games Monday through Thursday and have one table with 2 dollar minimum blackjacks. But it's hard to get a seat there most of the time.
My husband and I have been here 6 times in the last 6 months. We used to go to riverwind for a fun night out to gamble and get away from the kids for awhile, but we have switched to Firelake Grand. The casino is the largest one around and the atmosphere is great, plenty of room and not too smokey. Employees are friendly enough. I had a slot machine tilt on me and it took about 10 minutes for a lady to come fix it; she was very apologetic and comped me $10 free play. Large selection of slots and i have actually been able to play on them for longer than 15 minutes, unlike most other casinos in OK. I don't mind losing if I can play for awhile. Actually played on a quarter machine for 3 hrs with $40. We don't spend our house payment gambling, we each take $100 and 5 out of the 6 times we've gone we have come out ahead or close to even. We don't just play the slots though, we play everything!!! Poker room is nice. . .standard. . .the guys always underestimate us girls ha! ha! Table games include craps and roulette, which are hard to come by in Oklahoma. There are the dreaded 50-cent antes, but Firelake has been having NO ANTES every other month. First time we went there were antes, Dec no antes, Jan antes, Feb none, etc. April is coming up and no antes again so we will definitely be going back. Buffet is just okay, but you get coupons for having a player's card. My husband prefers the sport's grill. You have to pay for drinks just like all casinos around here but they are good and there are usually beer specials. ($1 house in april) Free self-serve pop. We have been to most of the casinos in the OKC area and even though some are closer to us (we live in Moore) we will make the extra drive to Firelake Grand. Hope this is helpful and GOOD LUCK!!!!!
If you live close by and wanna go out for a drink and maybe a game or two then this is the place for you, But lately the slots have been really tight, i have heard this from many friends at work who go there. So its not just me. So if your looking to hit it big while your here in Okc i suggest you pass this casino up.
I really liked this Casino due to the offer of Craps and Roulette and other table games not found in other Casinos I've visited in Oklahoma. Although, they are slightly different versions than what you would find in Vegas they are still fun.
The slots are tight her too as they are in most of the Indian Casinos. It's funny that all of the Casinos around Oklahoma City allow 18 and up, but here you must be 21. Don't know what that's all about. I wish they would change it so my 20 year old daughter could go with me. It's the best around.
