The wife and I have been there on several occasions. Have won some and have lost some. If I can walk away with the amount of money I went in with I am still a winner. Anytime you gamble you always take a risk of losing. Rooms are comfortable. Love the buffet.
Went here in September and had a blast. Wolf Run slots was great, I won $200 and my wife won $300. Played 18 nickels in a new slot machine and won $250. Couldn't wait to go back.
Well, we went back in October with $700 and lasted about 4 and 1/2 hours. Did not hit anything.
I think the casino is really neat looking with the waterfall and all. I can't judge this too well yet, but on the October visit it was the worst casino I was ever inside.
Atlantic City is still 7 hours away, so we have to go to these sub-level West Virginia and PA casinos. Probably should just save up and go to AC a couple times a year.
This was my third trip there. My first two were good, but this most recent one was the best trip yet.
Went there last night (9/27/08). I played a marathon blackjack session for 8 hours. Got a buffet comped and a breakfast comped. The buffet was really good - food was very tasty, but the mashed potatoes were a little loose.
After leaving the tables, I decided to throw 20 into the slot machines. In 2 minutes, I was up $15, which was gas money for me to and from the casino. I left a happy man. Great service from the pit bosses and from the wait staff. Disappointing that you have to pay for drinks at the tables, though - but $3.50 isn't outrageous for a beer.
I live near this gaming center, it is nice but payouts on the machines seem to be streaky and all come at one time. Keep your eye on the cashout lines to see when thay are hitting.
Ninety percent of the machines use the printed ticket payout system. I seem to lose more often than I win here but food at the buffet is great and comps are pretty good.
Table gaming was just passed in WV and for all racetracks that have machines. Table gaming is supposed to be up and running by Labor Day 2007.
I would call first if you are planning to visit before October 2007 to see if table games are up and running yet if that is your interest.
