We suggest making Choctaw your destination except on weekends or Holidays at this time. My wife and I still go to Choctaw regularly and we still think it is the best Resort within 500 miles. I would suggest to my friends who have read my reviews over the past 4 years that if you want to visit a Resort Casino that Choctaw is still well worth the trip. When the drawings are over after midnight you can easily wait about 30 to 45 minutes to get your vehicle out of valet parking which charges $10.00. After 6PM on weekends & holidays most of the time there are not enough gaming machines or live gaming tables to accommodate the large amount of people wanting to play. The lines to get a meal at one of the restaurants or fast food facilities are so long it is not worth the effort. My wife & I have had to leave the property and drive elsewhere just to eat. At this time this resort is not large enough and does not have enough restaurants or employees to handle these crowds. Over this past year Choctaw has had multiple cash drawings usually taking place on the weekends & holidays which draws very large crowds. I might give it one more shot in the future, but I'd honestly consider taking the trip to Vegas at this point.I have been telling readers for years what a great place Choctaw in Durant is to visit. I'd suggest maybe loosening the slots a little. If I went for the amenities and not gambling, I'd give the review a higher rating, but my motivation to drive up there is the gambling. Smashburger and the Bamboo Noodle bar were excellent.Ĭustomer service was excellent.

I wasn't a fan of the buffet for the price. I loved being able to stretch out bankrolls for an evening or two, but found that these last visits were horrible for slot play.įood is great for the most part.

I never really go in expecting to come out ahead, but line hits and bonuses are very few and far between as well as low in amount won. Unfortunately, I have noticed slot play being less fun this last year or two.

I'm grateful for the non-smoking section of the casino, since there are heavy smokers that don't mind exhaling in your direction. It has a very nice atmosphere and is even family friendly on the south end, which has a pool, arcade, movie theater, and bowling. I've been coming to this casino for years.
