Overall Impressions
4/5
My first visit there, I was with a few other players/friends who were wanting to play their Saturday tourney. My interest was in the cash games. They played the tourney, while I sat in the cash games. They were running a $1/2/5 NL ($1/2 blinds, $5 to go) cash game. This is apparently recently changed from what was their house game of $3/5/10 NL. While I was hoping for the 3/5/10 game, there was plenty of action at the 1/2/5 game. Game was very beatable. Things I loved about the game / room: First off, I love this structure of a game with blinds and a "to go" amount. Personally, I'm a fan of it. There was also no cap on the buy in for the game, so I was thrilled to hear this. The room is non smoking, behind a set of doors and out/away from the rest of the casino. It's quiet. They have ~12 or 14 or tables. Lots of space to spread a variety of games. Solid dealers which were all very responsive to the needs or players and kept the game moving along (no card shufflers). Floor is responsive to any table issues which require them and handled them quickly. They have several jackpots and drawings going. (for example) play for an hour, get a "ticket" for the raffle. Raffle pulls every half hour. Get a full house, get a ticket for the raffle. If they pull your name from the raffle, get a hundred bucks. They also have BBJP's and HHJP's. AAA/TT cracked is a BB. HHJP is reset every day. Overall, the tables and room are clean (kind of a weird (lower than normal) drop ceiling, but decent) drinks (pop and coffee) are free. Cocktails can be ordered by nurses who regularly patrol the room. The other thing I really liked about the room- they would/will spread just about ANY game you want, providing the players are there. You want $30/60 Kill, get the list of interest going with the players to spread it, and it's on. Geared straight towards customer service, which is huge in my book. My only con to the room is that in a cash game setting, if you are all in, they force the all in players (for example if you are heads up) to turn their cards up. I'm not a fan of this, never hand been, and they used it at Feather Falls. Not a huge issue, but something I didn't care for.

Atmosphere
4/5
Nice, clean tables. No card shufflers, but decent tables. Plenty of space between each table, and tables were not cramped full with players around the tables. Decent chairs, with drink carts. Air-conditioned, comfortable, and all around clean and decent.

Dealers
5/5
Very friendly dealers, floor and staff. No complaints about them. I did have a bit of a wait for a cocktail, but nothing major.

Food and Drink
4/5
Nurses (Cocktail Waitresses) regularly work the room, so tracking one down was not an issue. One thing unique about this room and casino, is that they are an Indian Casino which serves Alcohol. Many Indian Casinos I've visited have an 18-year-old age limit because they don't serve alcohol. Feather Falls is a 21-year-old establishment which serves both beer/wine and spirits. Food was also offered in the poker room through the cocktail staff. If you wanted to "dine out" you could hold your seat, and eat within the casino at either the formal restaurant, the cafe, or the two fast food (Taco Bell and Pizza Hut) places in the food court of the casino.

Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
The board was behind the cage/desk which was easy to read with many games listed. As mentioned before, they would spread just about any game you wished, providing there were players. I was seated for a NL table within 5 minutes of arriving. If you are playing the tourney, you can call in and reserve your seat over the phone. You can even pay for your entry (with a V or MC) and hold your seat in the tourney. If you are late to the tourney, your stack is blinded off. Floor staff was very helpful in answering questions about games, stakes, etc. Rake was 3+1+1 for the NL game I was seated in. 3 rake, 1 for the BBJP, and 1 for the full house promotion they were running (get a full house, put your name in the raffle bucket, they were pulling names from the raffle bucket every 30 minutes or so). I don't know if they pull this last dollar if they don't run the other promotions.

Comps
4/5
No comps that I know of. They do offer BBJP's, HHJP's and random drawings for full houses, etc. Free pop and coffee in the poker room. Drinks, beer, cocktails, etc. were reasonable priced.
