We stayed in Soco Tower. Being from NC, it is the only real casino that is close to me. If not, you're better off going to some of the big city Casinos. This casino gives almost no chance of winning anymore. If you want to throw away money, play the slots. Reviewed March 14, Reviewed March 9, Date of experience: April See all 3, reviews. I've only been to a few over the years but I enjoy them and plan on going to more. My host on the other hand, has been very good to me. Of course he said he would look into it, but I was thinking why do you even allow people to sit at a BJ table who have no intention of playing. Blows me away they allow this. Digital blackjack was a bit better. The one dealers said they could only ask the person to leave if the player requested it. It's like losing an old friend, but my Harrahs Cherokee days are over. Played the black jack machines and was successful. To make matters worst, the dealer started to engage a converstation with the guy about what he was reading and offering some advice on other books to read. Renovations appear nice, but signs pointing you in the right direction were lacking, so easy to take a wrong turn. That's what gambling is. Even better given that is was complimentary. Many times I would at least break even. I do not know of one casino anywhere that allows people to sit at the table who have no money to gamble. More languages. Made money playing the game. House rules are fair blackjack payout, doubles and splits allowed, etc , and the side bets can actually be rewarded. Review Highlights. After I got up from the table I went down to a pit boss and voice my displeasure. This was not the first time this has happen. My last trip, will be my last to Cherokee. Granted you can opt to pay federal at the end of the year, but I dont like to do that. Dealers Clayton and Matt were very personable and gave good advice to novice players. I agree with many other reviewers who state this casino is ridiculously tight. Hotel self-park is a decent walk from the check-in, so some may struggle with this. Traveler rating. So I would only recommend this Casino if its within a hour drive. Italian 1.{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Time of year. Based on other reviews we avoided eating here altogether. Tried a couple of others but kept coming back to black jack because we were winning. Save your money go to Tunica! Up until a couple of years ago, even when I lost.. Dutch 2. I have not had much luck with the slots there. I agree with most of the other reviews. All languages. Had a good time but slots are way too tight. Filter reviews. I will save my bankroll and go to Vegas or Tunica. Now the bad: 1 smoke smoke smoke. Pre-renovation it was possible to win on the slots, but now not only do you not win, but you aren't even allowed to get any time out of your money. The two can't compare to each other. Nice big clean room, king bed, jacuzzi tub, large HD TV. Played a little black jack Some days are good and some days are bad. It depends on what you enjoy Stayed in hotel Thursday, April 21st. First the good: 1 We took home money. But when I left, it was in my clothes. I appreciate that it's gambling and you should expect to lose money, but give me a few hours to do so, and at least give me the thrill of some token wins and some hope rather than immediately taking my money. German 3. It's just something you have to deal with if you're a non-smoker. I have played Cherokee so long ,I reached the point where I could name the top 10 loosest slots, knew how they would play and developed a sense of sorts on what was hitting and what was not. Check -in early Friday afternoon was quick and smooth. What really ticked me off was that they allow people to sit at the tables who have no intention of playing. She is more interesting in this guy who is not even playing!! I think since its Native American, plus Harrhas, that the payouts are less since there are 2 different groups that get paid. Cherokee Casino really needs some competition. Loved the Selu cafe but it is gone now. I would go back because it's only 3 hours away from me. It was fun. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}Learned the game of roulette. Reviews 3, Write a review. I do not like confortations and I refuse to be the bad guy. Log in to get trip updates and message other travelers. That may be gambling, but it just lends itself to questions. He then pulled out a book. I played for 2 hours and was up marginally when a new dealer came aboard and a new shuffle took place and suddenly everyone lost their money in a span of under 10 minutes. Nice room. Unfortunately the digitial format just doesn't feel right and seems like it can be manipulated. Excellent 1, Very good 1, Average Poor Terrible Traveler type. I like to play blackjack but of course they dont have live cards. I had a gentlemen grab a chair and proceed to prop his feet up on another chair. The bottom line I'm a novice when it comes to Casinos. Sometimes, I would lose all. I had it happen on a trip before too. The place is really beautiful and renovated wonderfully.. Language All languages. Didn't eat there too expensive. English 3, Portuguese 5. That is the only real plus at Cherokee.
