The casino is right over the Texas/Oklahoma state line. It seem like a longer drive when you are not sure where you are going. The casino is about 70 minutes from North of Dallas/Ft. I selected WinStar as it was the closes to where I was staying. Most of the casinos are run by native Americans. There are several casinos in the state of Oklahoma. I'd recommend going the night of an event or concert too just because a crowded gamin area is usually more alive and fun than the Tuesday night crowds. If you like slots then this is definitely a great place.If you're aiming to lose a little money in exchange for a few hours of fun and bright lights then this is a great spot. Poker room is great, CALL AHEAD to get on a waiting list or to check for tournament schedules. Summary: don't go here if you're a 'serious' gambler as the occasionally bumbling dealers, 1% ante on every hand, and sometimes understaffed gaming areas can be a headache. I've even been told about lots of good stuff in the pipeline such as higher limit tables and several amenities attached to the hotel that will work into the comp system. In my estimation this place is just raking in tons of money with all the business they do, and they are spending it well on lots of scheduled renovation and expansion. And I'm looking forward to the renovation of the older casino floor areas and the eventual opening of the hotel. The recent addition of a huge amount of sq footage and slots made the place a lot better. Higher level buy ins and games other than Hold em seem to be rare though. The poker room is exceptional, absolutely no complaints if you're a mid-range buy-in Hold-em player. I have only been one time on a 3 day weekend the night of some big concert when the place appeared to be near occupancy. On weekends or prime time evening you may have trouble getting a seat at the table game you want to play, but there are simply acres of slots. Expect some rookie dealers and slow pace on the table games. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I give this one 4 stars because if you're just looking for a place to gamble it really is pretty good.

But if you're looking to gamble in OK then you already expect all that from any place you go, its just not the same as a Vegas style casino though. The building is nothing to get very excited about as its cheap construction, black walls and nothing interesting other than its size.

Just like all Indian/Oklahoma Casinos this one takes antes from all table games, very tight min/max bet range on table games, low slot payout %, no free drinks/food, bad comps, etc.
