5 New Casinos in Oklahoma
This weekend I am driving to Oklahoma, the South Central region of the states as one of my friends invited me to watch the finals of the World Cup of Softball at the ASA National Softball Hall of Fame Stadium featuring teams from the USA, Japan, Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the Philippines.
Also on July 8th, there is the Beats & Bites Music & Food Truck Festival at Riverwind Casino. This casino has over 3000 slot machines, 45 blackjack tables, and 23 poker tables to enjoy. Also, there are frequent poker tournaments throughout the week.
Though I will be enjoying myself with my friends, I also want to visit the new casinos in Oklahoma. After the state of Nevada which has over 400 casinos, Oklahoma is the second largest state in terms of real casinos and houses 136 and over land casinos full of slots, table games, events, music, and various promotions.
Games to enjoy at Oklahoma casinos
All casinos in Oklahoma are affiliated with Indian Tribes. You can find slot machines, games of bingo, and more. Here the gaming machines are not allowed to accept or payout in coins. All payouts must be done by a printed receipt or via an electronic debit card. Also, no public information is available concerning the payback percentages on gaming machines at casinos in Oklahoma.
Traditional roulette and dice games are not permitted at Oklahoma casinos. Instead, the casinos offer card-based versions where the result is determined by playing cards, rather than dice or a roulette wheel.
Some Oklahoma casinos that have card games, such as blackjack, let it ride, or three-card poker, etc., offer a player-banked version where players must pay a commission to the house on every hand they play. The amount of the commission charged varies, depending on the rules of each casino, but it’s usually 50 cents to $1 per hand played. You can always check at the casino help desk and find out if they charge a commission.
There are also two horse racing facilities in Oklahoma which do offer slot machines to play. All of the Indian casinos in Oklahoma offer gaming machines. Other games include: blackjack, craps, roulette, mini-baccarat, poker, three-card poker, pai gow poker, ultimate Texas hold ‘em, let it ride, Mississippi stud, bingo, and off-track betting.
The largest casinos in Oklahoma are Riverwind Casino, Choctaw Casino Resort, and the WinStar World Casino. Also, note that not all Oklahoma casinos serve alcoholic beverages and all casinos in Oklahoma are open 24 hours. The minimum gambling age is 18 at some casinos and 21 at others.
