Went to the casino last weekend with a buddy to play poker! the poker room is the nicest part of the casino...the slots were the tightest I HAVE EVER seen...no one winning, the table games were busy, but no one winning there either.

The hotel is not finished yet...so it is not a resort, nor do they comp rooms...we stayed nearby...at $129 a night...no comps, we dropped a few thousand there...and the food buffet was too high priced $22.95, for what? We went to Cracker Barrel for better food.

This casino is one of the worst pay-out casinos in America...save your time and money and go elsewhere for gaming fun!

All controlled by central computer in Albany. Larry is correct. The VP machines in Connecticut, Atlantic City and Pennsylvania operated via an RNG which is the type of machine one should only play.
The machines in Yonkers and Monticello are VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINALS. STAY AWAY!

We visited for the first time because we were in the area. Recieved $10.00 slot play just for signing up for the players card. People were winning. I think I got good play time for my money. There are no table games; there is virtual blackjack, I did play but didn't like the "feel", live is better! We ate in the cafe, the food was OK for the money.

It does not have a good variety of games and personnel not impressive (except for the players club lady). Saw no one wiping down machines or counters. They were very sticky. The casino, especially the non smoking area smelled like burnt grease. On the other hand, the buffet was very good, especially the prime rib. Good variety of dishes. Will probably not go back to this casino.

No buffet but a small bar restaurant which was ok. Staff there the only ones I saw smile. Had a lot of machines but nothing special. Will probably go back if I happen to be in the area but not special enough to make a special trip.

First let me say that both my wife and I are reformed smokers. The staff at the hotel was very gracious and professional. The room was very nice and well kept.

The Casino was wonderful, small, quiet and friendly. The problem was with the ventilation system in the hotel - it simply didn't work correctly. The smell of cigarette smoke was so bad, it was difficult to breathe at times. Clothes still packed in the suitcase smelled of cigarette smoke after only a couple of hours.

We had a no smoking room but may as well have had a tent over the room, with all the smokers in the casino exhaling into that tent!! I woke up at 1:00 a.m.; sinus' bleeding, dry raspy throat and would have left except, where are you going to go at 1 a.m.? We were 2.5 hours from home. We toughed it out, ate breakfast (which was very good) and left. Unless you REALLY enjoy smelling like a stale pack of pre-smoked cigarettes, I would recommend finding a hotel room elsewhere, enjoy the casino, then leave!

Live shows at the bar, Blackjack and Craps.
Great steaks and other goodies.
But for whatever reason they closed the blackjack and craps tables and cut service down to nothing.
Its too bad, Had some real fun there.
Somebody always has to screw up a good thing.

I've gambled in PA, WV, NY, DE, NV and yes...I even gambled in homes across PA. If I didn't like the way things were going, I'd leave. SO, if the gaming sucks somewhere, don't complain, just STAY AWAY. You ruin it for someone who wants to go have fun but runs scared because of your snipping!

As for you all who enjoyed your stay, CUDOS! You have a few minor complaints but nothing where you tell everyone to stay away.

As for me, I'll be gambling in EVERY place I can as long as I have 2 nickels to rub together, whether they PAY OUT or NOT!


P.S. I only rated the Table Games a 1 for one reason....I prefer LIVE dealers!

The slots were tight, and it was not easy to find available machines of a preferred type. The selection of food at the buffet was abominable, although the food was tasty.

The past 3-4 months the casino has seen fit to not only do away with many of the older, more traditional slots, but has made sure the new ones they have put in place of those machines have been 'tightened' up to the point of seldom paying off for anyone.. I never minded playing the older slots because I could play most of the day on $60-$70 dollars (including having a nice lunch).. I never really won much, I think the most I ever went home with was $10 up.. Mostly I lost, but I, at least, felt I was getting my money's worth by winning small jackpots to keep me going!

Now, the new machines, when you win 3 of a kind, return less then half of your input.. Many pay out less then 9 cents!! Now I realize all casinos are in the business of getting your money, but come on, folks, if you don't allow your machines to give you a decent jackpot once in awhile, why the heck should anyone play at all?

I know I'm certainly not going down as often and, I guess, I'm hardly alone as I've noticed a distinct fall off especially on week-days when I usually would go.

I guess it all says it's sad that greed runs so rampant everywhere, even in a tiny little casino, that the owners would just as soon cut off their noses to spite their face to get even more money.. They don't yet know they've only hurt themselves with their actions, but I do know this, not one of my circle of friends is much interested in going down there anymore.

Like me, the fun was in the time spent with the money you went to play with, something that no longer lasts even a couple of hours on their 'new' machines..
Hence, my rating has now dropped to a big, fat 1 for Fort Hall.. Though I must state this rating guide is very poorly designed.. Many casinos do not have table games, player's clubs, hotels/amenities and the like, so forcing one to add a 1 for those non-existent services is ludicrous..

We even won a few dollars on the slots! The slot staff was the friendliest in town - they really made us feel that our business was appreciated.
