Best gambling experience! I’ve won here more than any other local casino. Casino staff are so helpful; tipping is essential! Food was good but they need to hire waitstaff for the restaurant and offer the advertised menu specials. We loved the daily specials; went back for dinner sadly to find no specials. Expand please. Where’s the surf & turf?

i really like a smaller casino and a friendly staff i smoke e-cigs..don't stink and does not leave a film on everything. so i don't complain about smokers being able to enjoy themselves, because if they take away the cig. smokers right to smoke they will take mine too. i feel we have lost all the rights we need to. the casino is to this point my favorite one.

Went there for the advertised "lobster".
Since it was a birthday celebration, we decided to spend the $20. each.
I have seen bigger buffets at people's homes.
The wait staff was barely paying attention to the customers and they were out of Lobster tails in 30 minutes.
All in all it was the worst experience we have ever had at a casino.

If you are a player that likes Casinos and you want my two cents about this area, read on:
First of all I have played in Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, Michigan, etc... Even on a Saturday night the Travel Center Casino showd no jacpots, no play back that I could see, no one was winning a thing, what a joke, bad service, not friendly at all, why are these Casinos not paying? Don't even waste your time at the travel center, the big one up the hill/big brother to this one is just as bad, just give your money at the door, what a joke, no one was winning, everyday day I attended!1
As for Billy The Kid Casino, this place looks like it is more in the style of the older town Casinos, did not see any body win, but I think Billy is a Better Bet, the name, the smaller type casino feeling, I did see attendents that worked there, did see people that worked on the floor, had a home type feeling of the old style good Casinos!! I get the feeling you could win at this Casino.
Just my opinion, but when I see attendants walking and working around the players, it just makes me feel better.
The Travel Center and the other big one down the street, big turn off!! Seems like they had a beef with everyone that came in, not friendly, bad vibes all over!!They could learn a thing or two from the Colorado Casinos. They were just taking and not paying, everyday, just like that, no happy faces, no winning faces, no promotion outburst, just dead, like nothing Ive seen, more action in a back alley card game!1

Nice, friendly environment. Machines have been recently updated. Seems to pay much better than the Apache casino's and the employees are a hundred times nicer. And the food is reasonable and good.

We visitied Billy The Kid Casino & the staff are great, very friendly but if you are used to winning anything, it would be my advice to avoid this one. We play the quarter & dollar machines & I have never seen machines as tight as these are. I also did not see a single winner while we were there. We will never go back.

Every time we go to the seafood buffet we leave smiling and happy. Yes smaller buffet and wait staff can be a little under staffed. But my god all you can eat! Lobster and if it runs out give them a few minutes and its restocked again. Shrimp peel and eat as well as fried, oysters on a half shell, prime rib with crab legs too..! For 20 bucks the food makes the experience all worth it..people that have an issue there would have issue any where!

Just stopped there a few mins
I'm not a player but ok
Never been to ruidoso so let's give it a shot.
The casino looks like those old ones on downtown Vegas
The carpet was dirty faded
So bad 3 -5 mins away for them
You'll find the inn of the mountain gods

Does this Casino have a Poker Room?

I believe it does, though it might be pretty small. The Inn of the Mountain Gods has one, for sure.
