Prairie Band Casino & Resort

The staff were fantastic, and the room was clean and great. They even let me check in early after my truck broke down in freezing weather, which was a real blessing. I loved the place, but the machines felt so dry. I’m a truck driver and have played at casinos all over. I usually get 7-8 hours out of $200-300, but here I was done after an hour and a half and $500. I tried all four machines and didn’t hit once. The best payout I saw was about $12 on an .88 bet. I know it’s gambling, but it’s hard to keep playing when you’re not getting decent kickbacks to draw you in. I also wish they had more dancing drums machines. The service was outstanding, though the machine payouts really cut my time short.

My wife and I stop by whenever we're in the Topeka area. The room was comfortable and had a coffee maker, and they do a good job of keeping the place clean. As for the casino, the payback seems about in line with others nearby.

Don't be fooled by the title, this is a casino, not a resort. The comps amount to a little free food and a bed, if you count that, and getting to tier 2 in their "players club" takes $20k. As long as the few natives still in existence are getting paid, at least somebody is.

The slots were fun and loose, and the coffee bar made me an excellent mocha. I'm definitely a coffee snob, so I appreciated that. There were lots of hot tubs and the pools were clean. The place itself was clean too, and the staff were friendly. Had a great time, and the food selection was good.
