The June 9 "correction" review is wrong. There were major changes months ago. All of the 9/6 high limit single line JB were removed. The bank of five dollar JB, DB, and DDB were all downgraded to 9/5 on JB and DDB and 30/25 on DB. The last reviewer is totally incorrect and should take another look. Leave high limit and turn left :-) The $25 progressive is great and there is still $100 9/6 DDB. Therefore, the cover page is incorrect. Everything else is so good it can be worth playing even though the comps and food are important, and great if playing high. Peter

The last review of Aria here said that all the 9/6 JoB had been downgraded. But I was there today and found all of them that are listed in vpfree2. Note that they are all multiline. The only update I found was that the $5 single-line 9/7 DB were downgraded on the casino floor and at the bars. Everything else was correct. Aria is a great MGM property with very good high limit video poker and restaurants. LVNow

Good value for medium limit players. The ACES and Eights at 50 cent level 100%+ payback and the Bonus Poker 25 cent with progressive on royals, str. flush, 4 aces and bonus 4 of kind are best bets. Combined with good slot club (cash back plus meal and room comps) make this one of the best values on the strip. Dining choices are limited but the steak house and pizza shop are above average. Rooms are so so. Still offers FREE parking. mconn

I didn't really expect much going in the door... I remember when Choctaw was a tent at the gas station. I must say I was surprised and impressed. Very clean, bright and open. Machines seemed to be in good repair; VP machines, particularly, had good screens and decent keys (only one machine of the 5 or so I played had a sticky key.) Very reasonable payscales for Indian VP, and as best I can tell, Class III. The majority of the VP is in the middle of the casino, in banks according to game... i.e. one bank of JoB progressives, one bank of DDB progressives, etc.; they are not all multigame. .25 VP appeared to be one notch down in payback from .50/$1 payscales. Non-smoking area by the fast food and bowling alley, 9 VP multigame progressives at the bar... bad screen angle for the bartops (light glare,) and spread out around the quite large bar, so playing next to my wife was almost impossible... we lucked out and two people got up from the only set of paired machines I could see. The bar area was VERY loud, making conversation pretty difficult, and there was a constant stream of people standing next to me ordering drinks and such from the bar. Restaurants, fast food, bathrooms, ticket/cash machines spread out all over the casino... you aren't far from anything and is a nice change, even compared to some of the LV and Laughlin casinos I frequent. My only other experience with Indian gaming is Winstar, down the road a bit in Thackerville, IMHO Choctaw Durant makes Winstar look like a dump with a much nicer, much cleaner casino, better and more VP machines, and just a better experience all the way around. I probably won't be going back to Winstar any time soon. RustyRooter

Beautiful hotel and nice casino. Low inventory of video poker, mostly slots. Standard for Biloxi. I enjoy staying here. If you play much at all, they will give you a balcony room (balconies all the way up to the 15th floor). Nice to relax and do your emails or have a cup of coffee on the balcony with a terrific view of the gulf. thecadguy
