The place is really beautiful and renovated wonderfully.But you will not win until they loosen the payout % a few points.Ĭherokee Casino really needs some competition. It's like losing an old friend, but my Harrahs Cherokee days are over. This casino gives almost no chance of winning anymore. I have studied the RNG and slot % and am not nieve. On my last few trips, I've realized that the payout % of every single machine has been drastically lowered and I mean drastically. I have played Cherokee so long ,I reached the point where I could name the top 10 loosest slots, knew how they would play and developed a sense of sorts on what was hitting and what was not. a hundred dollar bill would last at least half hour. Up until a couple of years ago, even when I lost. The majority of the time I would win SOME.One year I won $21,000 total.One night I won $11,000.Many times I would at least break even. I've been a loyal Harrahs Cherokee customer since the first week they first opened the doors years ago, most of that time being a diamond player and visiting 1-2 times a month with an average trip bankroll of $2000.
