I go to Riverwind every now and then and then sometimes quite a bit. I have won big several times. I did win a progressive jackpot for $21,714.37, and for that, I invested $127. I have also won several jackpots for Royal Reels, actually winning 2 in one day. Last week, I did win $938 (started only with $20). I've won several thousand dollars from the poker machines.
It's a decent place to play. I do like the security. If some guy sits down next to me and tries to hassle me, etc., security is right on the ball and comes and investigates. As a single woman who brings about a lot of unwanted "male attention," especially if I am winning big, security will show up after about 5 minutes or so of the guy pestering me. I like that. They will also escort you out to your car anytime you desire--just ask. I do feel safe at that casino.
There are times when I win so-so, times when I win good, and times when I really don't win anything at all. However, I can say that certain machines are known for higher payouts than others. The trick is to find which ones pay out and then make note of the serial number of the machine. Riverwind constantly changes the location of such machines.
Food is so-so, especially at the buffet, which is more like an all-you-can-stomach food trough. Soft drinks, coffee, and hot cocoa are free. I don't drink alcohol, so I don't know about that aspect. They do have a gift shop whereby you can buy smokes at a discounted rate.
They have changed their player club benefits too. I just got two cards in the mail from them this week. I've got 2 free buffets (from the food trough), a free night's stay at the hotel, and $75 in play after earning 20 bonus points on card (roughly $100). I also get invited to private by-invitation-only parties they hold.
I have always been treated courteously by all the staff and have not found the people to be rude at all as some others have touted. But I, too, always treat others courteously and that seems to be reciprocated in kind--at least by those at this casino.
All in all, it's a pretty decent place.
