Sadly I am not writing this review from a yacht bought with my winnings...but we did leave $200 up,…read moreso #winning!
My dad and I landed here for a quick boys weekend at the casino. After reviewing the other Wind Creek location and nearby Victoryland, we decided this WC would be a good spot for a chill and hopefully lucky weekend!
My experience started a few weeks before arrival, actually during booking, where I reached out via webchat to the property. On BOTH occasions the service was just awful. The associates were not helpful, not engaged, lacked basic etiquette and were just unpleasant to interact with. I raised my concerns and connected with one of the Leaders on site. I appreciated her acknowledgement of the service failure and at that, we moved forward with our booking and plans.
We arrived around 1pm and figured we would get a head start on the floor if our room was not ready, which is was not. We spent about an hour on the floor, then got the text our room was ready. We checked in, went to the room, got settled and then made our way back to the casino floor. This is where we met Jonathan, a floor attendant, who was super friendly and helpful. He guided us to the players counter, and we signed up for our players cards and accounts, which came with $30 free play plus $10 food/beverage credit each! Once signed up, we hit the floor and made a day out of it.
This casino is slots only, no table games. Majority of the slots are penny machines, but you can select your denomination and go up to $1 per spin if you want. There is a "high roller" area where the machines start at $5 per spin. The casino is one large winding room filled with slots. The whole space is non-smoking but there are non-smoking rooms throughout, which wildly stay packed.
As with most casino's, there are servers wandering around the floor and delivering drinks. The catch with "free" drinks here is you can only order a drink once you have spent at least $15 at your current machine and you only get one drink per 20 minutes.
Machines are standard, nothing too exciting or anything that takes a lot to figure out There is a good variety and we found a few favorites that kept us going throughout the evening.
There are a few food outlets on site as well from BB Kings to Lucille's and a nicer dine-in restaurant that sits above BB Kings. We ate at BB Kings twice, once for a snack and cocktail, the other for dinner. Lucille's was a grab and go area, so we got that on our way out for a light bite. Room service was an option, but they had limited hours and closed at 11pm...which is wild at a casino on the weekends. We ended up having to Uber Eats at 1130pm once we were done with gambling as all the outlets had closed.
Our room was nice, outfitted with plenty of outlets, a mini-fridge, coffee maker and a few comforts to make the stay a good one. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the additional seating so we didn't have the hang on the beds when in the room.
Service on site was friendly and helpful for the most part. A different vibe than what I experienced prior to booking/arrival.
Overall, solid 3.5 for me, but I am okay with the 4 stars. Definite repeat of boys weekend ahead!
