Big casino oklahoma

The cities and plains of Oklahoma are sprinkled with a number of casinos ( to be exact), ranging from tiny truck stop slot machine rooms, all the way to the largest casino in the United States.

Here is a list of the top ten largest casinos in Oklahoma. The Sooner State casino market is constantly growing and expanding, and thus, this list is likely to change from year to year. After all, the number one biggest casino on our list was nothing more than a bingo hall just a few years ago.

All of these casinos are owned by Indian tribes. Since the vote, when Oklahoma voters passed legislation expanding Indian casino gaming, a new casino land rush has seen glitzy casinos spring up in nearly every corner of the state.

The list below is in order of size &#; specifically square footage.

We want to go strictly on square footage of casino space, but unfortunately, casinos do not have any official standard or requirement to list their square footage devoted to gaming. As such, I believe some of these casinos are counting hotel rooms, restaurants, clubs, etc, in their “casino square footage.” Others, like the WinStar, only count actual gaming floor space as casino square footage.

1) WinStar World & Casino Resort

The Thackerville resort boasts , square feet of casino space. It’s by far the largest casino in Oklahoma. In fact, it’s the second largest one in the world, and the biggest one in the United States.

According to the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Commission, there are 71, electronic gaming machines (slot machines, video poker machines, etc.), in the state. Winstar has 8, of them, meaning that the massive casino near the Red River has over 10% of the state’s in slot machines.

In addition to the 8, electronic gaming machines, the WinStar&#;s various themed casinos have a total of live table games. There&#;s also a popular 55 table poker room. In addition to an RV park and golf courses, the WinStar has 1, hotel rooms.

2) Choctaw Casino Resort

WinStar&#;s rival to the east in Durant is no slouch, with , square feet of casino space, placing it among the biggest casinos in the United States.

In fact, with three hotel towers packed with 1, hotel rooms ( more than WinStar), the argument can be made that Choctaw is the largest casino resort in Oklahoma.

Either way, you&#;ll find 7, slot machines/video poker games here, along with live table games, a racebook, and 25 table poker room. There are also 16 restaurants, including Choctaw&#;s Butterfields Buffet.

3) Riverwind Casino – Norman: , square feet. 2, electronic games, and 20 table games.

Other Bigger Casinos in Oklahoma

The information above has been obtained from either the state of Oklahoma’s official travel site, or the casino itself. In other words, take them with a grain of salt.

There are some larger casinos that do not list their square footage and therefore are not included here.

This would include the Comanche Red River, the Choctaw Casino Hotel – Pocola, the First Council Casino Newkirk, and Osage Casinos (Tulsa, etc.) – none of which give square footage figures at all.
