The driver will usually take your Return ticket stub to let you onboard and you will sit at the same seat on the Return leg. The bus leaves about 4:30pm and is also 3hrs long with a movie. The Cou Lunch Buffet costs $12pp with Cou Card. Upon arrival at Cou, a person swipes your Cou Card when you exit the bus and downloads a $10 slot credit. The bus had leather seats, arm rests, foot rests, a bathroom at the back and weak WiFi (too weak to view YouTube, but strong enough for light browsing like Yahoo Finance). I recommend bringing water, snacks maybe a sandwich. One passenger volunteered to take tips (~$1pp) for the driver. The bus ride to Cou was 3hrs long and came with a movie. The bus arrives about 8:30am and the Driver takes your Departure ticket stub. at the seat during the 5 hour casino stay. Some folks leave their jackets, lunch bags, etc. You can chose your seat assignment(s) and it is written down on the ticket. Departure/Return tickets cost $17 per person with a Coushatta (Cou) Card and ID. There was a nice lounge with complimentary coffee and restroom. The ticket counter opens about 7:15am for a 8:30am departure. Reserve a seat (50 available) at least 1 day ahead with your name and phone number. My experience with a weekday Casino Bus Tour from EastTex Frwy (US-59 and Lauder Rd) to Coushatta Casino.
