I have been going to this casino about once a week for the last year. I have not lost a lot or won a lot. One thing I have noticed and it should be investigated is in the high roller area the same 5 to 7 people are the same people winning the jackpots. I have seen these people hit the same machine back to back get up and move to another machine and start jackpotting. When i brought this to the attention of the Suits (people walking around making sure these same jackpotters are doing okay) they informed me that these people are in there all the time and lose just as much as they win. I understand that but it is always the same 5 to 7 people winning the jackpots. I have never had a .25, .50, or $1 machine jackpot or win a little i have walked around this casino and looked at machines people are playing and they are just not winning. In the high roller area once the $25 machines start hitting you should pack it up and go home, every other machine in there will stop paying anything and start taking back. I like to play and i understand it is gambling but when you see the same people jackpotting it raises my eyebrows and it is just not me other people in the casino have started talking about it and have noticed it. I would take my money and go out to Million Dollar Elm in Sand Springs I have good luck out there and not the SAME people win they spread the jackpots thru out the casino and it is all machines that will jackpot not just $10 and $25 machines.
I always hear all the jackpots they are advertising, but it is never around me, which makes me wonder if they are really paying any out? I can never win there, i have played penny, 1.00. .25 and .50 machines and never ever win. They need to loosen up their machines and start paying out or maybe be investigated by gaming administration to see if they are really paying out all those jackpots?
I just happened upon this site and saw a review that said River Spirit was a dirty casino - what were you drinking - it is a beautiful facility and I have never ever seen it dirty - my complaint would be against the comps - first you provide your frequent players decent comps - then you decrease what you are giving - I tell you comps motivate me to go to the casino - keep taking them away and decreasing them and I'll stay away - BUT - DIRTY - NO - WAY........
We live in Oklahoma and on a motorhome trip back home, we decided that we would try out the River Spirit Casino for a few hours. When we arrived, much to our dismay, we turned into parking area and found that the roadways were way too narrow and there was virtually no good place to park our motorhome. Most of the Oklahoma Casinos have sufficient parking and welcome motorhomes, but apparently the Creek Nation did not consider this when building their new facility.
We certainly had a few tense moments when we discovered how narrow the turns were and that their parking area is like a maze trying to maneuver. We parked in the fartherest parking area and hoped we would be okay. Well, this was a Sunday and as the Casino got busier (within an hour of our arrival), we thought we should check to see how parking was going. We were glad we did because we had people parking right in front and behind us even though the parking lot was not even 1/4 full. Not sure why they would choose those spots, but decided we better get out before it was too late.
River Spirit - we visit different casinsos weekly and you will not be on our list because you are not customer friendly with parking. We did see that they are building a large parking garage, but that will not alleviate the narrow curving drives in the other parking lots . What were you thinking? There are many of us with motorhomes that frequent the casinos on our trips and wish you had thought of that in your planning. Of course, maybe you should have thought of a lot of things when you were cutting corners. Guess we will be going to the Hard Rock instead.
This was an experience I will remember visiting the River Spirit Casino. The casino is a beautiful place and I found it to be very clean and also saw many employees walking around ready to clean up any and everything that needed it. The food is great and beyond any casino food I have seen or experienced. Also I'm not a smoker but I did notice that I couldn't see a film of smoke throughout the casino neither could I smell smoke. Although many were smoking you could almost say it had a smoke-free enviroment. Over All I enjoyed my visit and plan on going again when I return to Tulsa. What a wonderful asset it is to Tulsa. I would give it a rating of 5 straight across the board. Way to go River Spirit!!!!
