Wind Creek Review, Thursday, 13 August 2009 Written by DA It was HOT as hades in the casino. I was dripping with sweat. I was told there was an "issue" they were working to resolve, but it was terrible. The room I reserved was a "package" that included $20 game play and 2 free buffets. When checking in, the hostess didn't know how to set up the Club card and had no idea how to give me the free play or buffets. She finally got the card for me and told me the buffet credits were on the card. At dinner, I presented the card and was told that the buffet deal was actually a flyer. The lady at the restaurant told me she would handle it and gave me a receipt. When the room bill came, the buffets had been charged to the room. I had to go back to the front desk and spend 15-20 mins getting my money back. I was told that reserving their rooms over the internet with packages "didn't really work well there" and they had no way of verifying what I was telling them. They did finally give me back my money. The food at the buffet was pretty good for what it is. Better than some casino buffets I have had. The hotel itself is first class and very nice, and the pool area is fantastic. Just not so sure I would go out of my way to return due to the game play issue. I would probably head to Mississippi instead. Hate to say that as I am an Alabama resident, but I really did not have fun in the casino. 1 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Wind Creek - Something in the Air - Your Money!, Wednesday, 07 January 2009 Written by JP
I had visited the casino prior to the grand opening to the public as part of a test group and was surprised/disappointed at how things were today. First I don't think they were prepared for the crowd. Since there were so many disappointments I decided to write them out by each one and then I will list the positives. The second slot issue was that the machines would not accept the cash payout slips. When you would insert them in another machine they would read as unavailable. This was only complicated by the fact the cashout machines were very few and most were broken. I personally stood in line for 45 minutes waiting for a technician to come and fix the machine (took them maybe two minutes). My only other option would have been to go the cashier and the lines were ridiculous. Everyone I spoke too said they would not come back if they paid like this and most had lost all their money. I realize a casino has to make money BUT payouts as pitiful as this and how infrequent they occurred will keep most people away. I too lost out today...would have been glad to just break even. Buffet - The good thing is that we were given a free buffet. The bad news was that again the lines were long. ..like almost out the door long. I waited in line for an hour to eat. But the food was good and it was a nice variety. I can not comment on the other restaurants. Customer Service - There were a lot of customer service walking around and if you needed help they did go the extra mile to help you. My only complaint would be when a machine broke, you had to hunt them down. You also had to hunt down the waitresses too. You do get free drinks while you are playing so I believe that is a positive (although drinking and gambling are a sure way to lose money). The hotel is very attractive. I am excited to see what the rooms look like. The only reason (at this time) that I am going back is because I have comp rooms and free play money. Other than that I probably would be going to another casino for better pay back. I truly hope that maybe this was a first day extreme that all these problems can get taken care of. Payout Slips - There was a computer error and the payout slips were being read as invalid when you tried to use them in another machine. So unless you wanted to stand in line at the Cashier area for probably an hour you had to put more cash in the machine or go to the cash out machines. The only problem with that was also the long lines and then some of the machines were broke. I personally stood in line for 45 minutes waiting for a technician to come fix the machine (took maybe a minute) |
