Choctaw Casino Durant

It's kind od like the Winchester House in San Jose , CA, Keep building and they will come (and you'll never die).

The casino just opened it's new entertainment showroom. The movie theater and new hotel tower are still under construction. It'll be interesting to see if it is bigger than the "world's biggest casino"-Win Star, Thackerville, OK.

We go there at least once a month to visit our money

Actually, Choctaw has paid out much, much better than Vegas in the past five years (for us). I still refuse to play table games with the ante, though.

I like the food and the entertainment better at WinStar, but payouts will always win over everything else.

The casinos in the counties near Missouri border don't have an ante on the table games and some of the casinos in Tulsa will waive the ante certain days of the week. Over abundance of casinos provides more competition that benefits the players.

I have been to Durant and Windstar both. The only competition they have are some small slot casinos. The charter buses from Dallas are bumper to bumper at the Windstar.

vast majority of the time, you gotta "pay the chief"

I have been to Winstar at least ten times, but never to Choctaw. I may trek to Choctaw tomorrow for some video poker.

25 cent video poker pay tables at both WinStar and Choctaw are awful. I've heard there are some better $1 machines, but I haven't found them. Try the bar in the south casino.

They have full pay 9/6 JOB at the Buffalo Run in Miami OK. The machines have a sign saying, "No points awarded on Players card".
