Thanks to everyone for all the good information. After posting this query, I heard about the Winstar in Oklahoma. As I'm flying into DFW before heading to east Texas, that casino is a possibility for me. So here's the new, revised query:

Which Casino to play? Winstar, Hollywood, or Horseshoe?

I only have a limited time frame to play so I want to maximize my playing time and effectiveness. I'd love some input from local folks on their thoughts as to which casino is best based on the following factors:

Wait times: I'd prefer a short wait time. (Crazy, huh?) What are the wait times for the 3 casinos at the times I'll be there? (Friday night if I go to Winstar or Saturday if I go to Hollywood or Horseshoe)

Atmosphere: I prefer a laid back place with decent dealers, abundant fish, and gracious losers with large bankrolls. Which place best fits this profile?

Rake: The rake isn't a deal breaker, but I heard that the Winstar is high. How does it compare to the others?

Hats and Coffee Mugs: I will be buying a souvenier hat and coffee mug from whichever place I play, hopefully from my winnings. Which casino has the coolest looking hats and coffee mugs? Specifically ones that match a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark glasses.

Thanks again for all the great information.

PS: I was just kidding about the gray hooded sweatshirt and dark glasses.
