After reading the reviews I almost canceled our trip, was I glad we didn't. We stayed at the Inn and the hotel is top notch for the value. Had a great room overlooking the racetrack and watched the jockeys workout the horses in the early morning hours. Breakfast was the best complimentary breakfast we have ever had in all our... more

I used to go there on a monthly basis. Starting early last summer I noticed the payouts were dropping rapidly. I used to be able to spend $100 for an afternoon of entertainment. Now that same $100 might last an hour, maybe. As an example about a year ago the American Beauty Rose machines (25cent version) hit enough to make... more

I have been going to Charlestown for years and have seen the payouts for slots get smaller and tighter month after month. I ran into a friend not long ago who's wife works there and he told me that Charlestown Races and Slots has been paying the State of WV fines each month for not meeting the required payouts for... more

Management response from
CTRSCharlesTownWV, General Manager

I can assure you that CTRS has never been fined for, nor have we ever failed to meet the payout requirements set by the WV Lottery Commission. You can contact the Lottery to confirm this fact. All slot machines must, at a minimum, meet West Virginia's payout standards. All of our machines, regardless of type or denomination, payout well in...

I have been going to Charlestown slots for about 5 years now. I have always lost more than I have won but I have hit several jackpots over the years, the best being $1,500. Their promotions are fair but occasionally give out some nice perks. I have stayed at their new hotel and was impressed. Their enormous buffet is a... more

Don't expect to win. I have gone several times and this is a waste of my hard earned money. They offer a Players Choice card which is a real joke as they offer nothing in comps. They will send you a $10.00 comp for high rollers....In comparison to comp rooms and meals at Atlantic City this place offers virtually nothing,... more

The atmosphere at charles Town is not bad but to watch the races and eat the dinning room was not a very good experience. though the food is good and most of the staff friendly the should stick to wearing uniforms as they did in past years. When I go to watch the horses and eat I take my children... more

I have to say Charlestown is one of our favorite places to spend a weekend now and then. On the upside, the waiter service received 2/21/09 at OK Corral was FANTASTIC! Best service anywhere, ever, period. Food was great. Even slot paybacks were average comparable to AC or LV. On the downside, restrooms were filthy. Drink vending machines were out... more

Been going to Charlestown about 5 years now. I normally will spend about $100 on the slots and have yet to win. Went again this past weekend and just took in the sites of other gamblers. I saw one person who actually won $300 on the $1 slots. I sat at one machine watching and saw several get on one... more

I've been to many casinos and have to say that this one has the tightest slots anywhere. I used to go there frequently over the last few years, since I live only about an hour away in Virginia, but I have been going less and less since the experience isn't even fun anymore. You can easily spend $100 without even... more
