Thunderbird Casino & Bingo

I always win and leave with more money than I came in with when I go to Thunderbird. It may seem like a long drive from someone who lived in Edmond, but it’s a really nice drive at night and when you get to the casino it’s never busy so you always get to get on the games you want to play. For the few years that I lived in Oklahoma, Thunderbird always seemed to be doing some sort of construction or moving games around or taking out old games and switching with new games, so it’s not too stagnant. You can always find a close parking space, as the parking lot is hardly ever full. I think most people don’t know T-​bird is out there. It is kind of out in the middle of now where. But there is a gas station in front of it and huge lights indicating a casino. Just watch out for deer or armadillos or other wildlife that scamper around in the dark hours of the eve. When I went they had free soda’s which a lot of casinos have but we’d fill up on soda and throw a couple of dollars around and just enjoy hanging out with our friends at night. It may seem hokey and lame to some as far as décor and landscaping and outside appearance, but it’s one of the nicer more quiet casinos in OK.

Cool small casino went on a Sunday and was not real crowded. Nice staff and the food is cheap and good. Machines paid pretty good as well. The machines was newer not the newest but I would definitely go back.

Its just like voting Republican… all Sparky and nice, but no substance or return on investment.

Visited again after the upgrading of their machines and the place is pretty happening! A good-​sized crowd was there (though you could still find two machines sides by side if you looked) and I actually won some $ (not a truckload but more than I went in with)! I liked the Star Wars slots which came complete with light saber sounds (see photo). What really makes this place special though, like I mentioned in my previous review, is the staff. They’re personable, thoughtful, and kind– always keeping an eye on my elderly grandparents (who still tip according to the going rate in the 1940s so you know these people are being nice to them because they have good hearts, not because they’re expecting to make any extra money). Thunderbird’s employees make the scenic drive down Highway 9 more than worthwhile and you can make some cash and get your photo taken beside plastic horses all in one trip– can’t beat that with a stick, I’m telling you.
