I love the casino as a facility and the food, cigar bar, and customer service is great. It is one of the few casinos in the area you can frequent without risking an early death from secondhand smoke. But the payback on slot machines has been dropping. It used to feel like 94-95%, now I would put it in the upper 80%'s. I think the reason is pretty obvious: Clearwater Casino. Sure, the Point is not quite as bad as its nearby competition--that would take some serious effort--but it is hazardous to play here. I'm guessing that every tribal casino around here is trying to figure out how much more profit they can suck out of their mostly blue collar patrons, and seeing how low they can set the payback. The Point may not be the lowest, but they are trying to catch up.
Go for drinks and entertainment, but stay away from the slots.
