Casino Camper Review - May, 2006
It got a little hot and humid as we were dry camped at Casino Center in Robinsonville, MS. Thanks to a report from reader A. Van we knew about Sam's Town RV Park, so we moved there for 3 nights. It's $12.99 a night, nice level pads, and lots of pull-through sites. See the photos below.
Sam's also allows free overnight in the parking lot. In the photo there's a row of coaches and 18 wheelers in the distance on the far left.
RV Park
Sam's Town RV Park is a bargain. For $13 a night you get a nice level concrete FHU spot with cable, instant phone, and access to pool and fitness center. Shuttle service to casino. The whole place was clean and well maintained. Compared to the Hollywood RV park across the street Sams was $2 less, and Hollywood had more landscaping.
Gambling
Video Poker:
The best game was 9/6 JOB. Not too bad considering they give new players 3X cash back for the first 30 days :-). We didn't do the math to figure out cash back %, but it wasn't bad. Comps were easy and a few hours VP at the quarter level got you 2 nice buffets.
Other Games:
Craps at $5 minimum with 10x odds. Blackjack multi-deck was H17, DA2, DAS, RS, NS. Single deck was H17, DA2, NoDAS, NoRS, NS.
Poker room was "Fair". Complementary food (hot dogs I believe, and something else). They use large-print playing cards, like you see at many blackjack tables, which I didn't like. Tournaments were "Fair", the percentage house fee was a little high. They had lots of bad players, and a very few who were quite good. I managed to place 5th in the tournament I played. Dealers were also only "Fair" and a little slow. I think overall I'd give it a 2.5 on a 5 scale.
Food
We ate the buffet twice and both times it was very good. Asian section had good egg rolls, but fried rice was dried out. Prime rib was OK. BBQ Ribs were VERY good, good selection of vegetables and they were done right. Mexican food was good. Desserts were very good. Chris loved their Sugar Free Peach Pie! I enjoyed dipping strawberries in the chocolate fountain. Wine and beer were included with the meal.
Misc.
Hotel and casino public areas were well maintained and clean. The buffet had some nice large mosaics of an aquatic nature, and some interesting glass sculptures. Grounds were well kept and attractive with landscaping, water features, koi pond, flowers, etc.
