Review Detail

CasinoCamper report, May 2007

We were traveling to Texas from Biloxi and wanted to make it 2 short days instead of 1 long one. We also wanted to avoid any more of the awful road conditions on I-10 in Louisiana, so we headed for Kinder and the Coushatta Casino.

We were only there one night, so here's our quick first impression: This place is nice!

RV Parking: The RV parking area is on the West side of the casino. Turn in like you're headed for the RV resort and enter the large parking lot on your right. You'll see a water tower, and a small blue sign with white letters for RV Parking. Easy in and out, paved, level, clean.

RV Resort: We didn't stay in Red Shoes RV Resort, but it's one of the better casino RV resorts around. Full hookups, all pull-through sites, swimming pool, free cable TV, etc. If you're looking for a nice RV park in this area I recommend it highly.

Food: Our first priority was eating dinner, so Chris scouted the restaurants while I signed up for a players club card. Paying for food in a casino is a foreign concept to me, but since we just walked in the door we had no comps. We were pleasantly surprised that the restaurants and buffet were reasonably priced. Chris and I ate at the steakhouse, and it was very good. I talked with several people while playing poker and they said the buffet is good too.

Gaming: After dinner we found some OK video poker, 8/5 Bonus Poker "Aces and Faces" which is a 99.26% game. Chris played video poker, while I visited the poker room. It's a large non-smoking room off the casino floor so you're insulated from most of the noise. Seems like a well run room, hand dealt, dealers varied in skill but all were OK and some are as good as any I've seen. They had a large tournament going on this weekend, so there were many good players in town. I found a 2/5 NL that wasn't too tough (they were also spreading 5/10 and 10/20 NL) and played a couple hours escaping with a small profit.

I didn't play any table games, but they seemed in good shape and if poker dealers were typical the dealers here are good. Overall I'd say the place is attractive, but a little noisy. You'll find a mixture of modern video slots along with some old favorites, all of which have been modified for TITO. We'll return again.
