Then when you play the machine, there is no indication of a problem as the machine thinks it’s paid out. But instead of letting the ticket eject normally they cover the opening so that their two cent ticket stays inside. What they do is put a few cents in a machine then hit the cash-out button. We found out the hard way that the Winstar is experiencing problems with ticket scammers. But we’re hard pressed to tell when we’ve gone from one “city” to another! While the decor is nice, the ceiling is industrial type with exposed pipes – which is fine, except that not a lot of attention was paid to the air conditioning system as some of the slots are virtually unplayable due to the excessive amount of the cold air blasting from the ceiling (and we’re the types that like lots of AC!) Slot machine ticket scammers. The property has gone through several expansions, and is divided into 7 different casinos that are supposedly based on different international cities such as London, Rome or Pars.

From Dallas it is an easy one hour drive (traffic can be heavy during rush hour until you’re north of Denton though). However, overall, it was fun and we will definitely visit again when looking for a quick day trip during the week.The Winstar casino is a mammoth (500,000+ square feet) facility located one mile inside the Oklahoma Texas border on IH-35. The main drawback I experienced was the lack of places to smoke a cigarette. We even won a bit to offset the cost of the trip! Compared to the Choctaw Casino in Durant, it was less crowded and there was plenty of room to move around. The Casino itself offered so many different areas and types of games that we had a blast there. She did say the A/C took nearly an hour to bring the room temp down to 75, but otherwise she loved it. The Casino joined to the Hotel where our friend was staying so we checked out her room which was clean and smelled fresh.

The workout room had treadmills, elliptical machines and a stationery bike never more than one person in there so we were able to stretch our legs after the ride in from Dallas. Free towels were available poolside as well. It was clean by the pool which had a hot tub and a pretty waterfall. We visited with friends at the Casino in June.
