Since I play every day, I do know what I am talking about. This combined with the poor attendance has made it nearly impossible to ever be ahead at any point in time. Their expenses have grown with the addition of the new hotel. With less money going through the casino, the less the payout is. Now then, the attendance is down by over 50% and the payout is total crap.
At some point in time of playing your $2000 bankroll you could get ahead by a little or a lot.
Four years ago you could put $2000 in and play for hours upon hours and usually hit a couple of jackpots to keep you going. I never walk into the casino with less than $2000. I have been a regular at Cherokee Casino in Catoosa for about 4 years.
