Other than a nice drive that is about all we got out of this place in the desert.Located in the heart of the Southwest, Fort McDowell Casino offers guests gaming excitement, multiple cuisine options, premier hotel accommodations at Wekopa Resort and Conference Center and absolutely amazing views and surroundings. At least most places give you free coffee or hot chocolate. The cocktail waitress comes by and they do NOT serve alcoholic beverages for free, so I asked for a hot chocolate and they even charged for that hot water. Played a couple of other machines, but they would ot let you play long for what you stuck in. 50 left, but as I found out if it is less than a dollar the casino gets to keep it. Went to another machine and inserted my card. My wife on the other hand hit the wild card spin and walked away with $3.65 in a short time frame. Played my card down, so I thought, and out of $10 my biggest win was. Must have talked to long, because the machine logged us off and wham both our card dropped from what we had played to $7, they just saved some free play. Wife and I went to play and started talking. She gave us our cards and loaded up $10 of play. Sure enough on the back in small font was an expiration date, no problem. I gave her the coupon from the paper and without looking at it, said ti was expired. After saying hello they stopped talking and dealt with us.

After standing there I finally said something and the one the cell directed me to the other two. One was on her cell and did not bother to look up and the other two were just talking to each other. Went to loyalty club and there were 3 ladies there. I told her I expected to pay it forward too. As we went into the casino an elderly lady and her husband came out and said we left our money there for you.

Decided to do a trip to this Indian Casino which ended up being 56 miles round trip. We never go to play to win, but to have a good time and at least be allowed to play for a little while.
