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

Decent video poker for $1-5 games. Mycash (the PNK equivalent of Reward Credits) earned on the better vp games was approximately 0.0045%. That's correct--less than five ten-thousandths of one percent. Eateries were good. Nice Asian restaurant (Asia); Jack Daniel's has very good burgers, sandwiches, and fries; Favorites has good food. Not horribly priced. Not sure if there is a high-end steak house. VIP lounge (Club 38) is a decent space, but not very good food (unless I was there at the wrong time). Seemed to be salami and cheese cubes. Nice pool area with a lazy river. Regular rooms are mediocre at best--no fridge, few toiletries, and Motel 6 bathroom. Short walk (or free shuttle) to Golden Nugget. maximumbett

Good comps, cashback, and multiplier opportunities. Diluted drawings makes being a super high roller here not a strong play, likewise, minuscule mail coupons makes being anything other than a low/medium level player not worthwhile. (i.e., benefits not really commensurate with play) On the good side extra room and food comps are easy as pie from your host. bjbigplayer

Aquarius remains the only Laughlin casino offering positive (10/7 DB) and near positive VP (9/6 JoB, NSUD) in quarters. Stayed 3 nights comp, room was good, the beds have good quality Sealy mattresses, most all rooms have some view of the river. Even of Friday and Saturday evenings had no problems getting a seat at their "optimum play" bank of VP. keithwatt
