Choctaw Casino Resort, Casino resort in Durant, Oklahoma

Choctaw Casino Resort is the flagship of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's gaming chain, on a 50-acre site in Durant. The complex holds three casinos and three hotels: the South Casino (2006, 108,844 sq ft), the North Casino (2010, 110,000 sq ft) and the 12-storey Grand Tower with 330 rooms. The 21-storey Sky Tower, opened in 2021, adds 1,000 rooms; the gaming floor totals 218,844 sq ft with over 7,400 slot machines.

The Choctaw Casino Bingo, the first of the Choctaw gaming franchise, was built in 1987 on a 50-acre site. In 2006 the original $60 million resort, now the Link Casino, opened with the South Casino's 108,844 sq ft gaming floor. The Grand Casino and its 12-storey Grand Tower followed in February 2010, and the Bingo Hall closed soon after. The Spa Tower opened in 2015 and the 21-floor Sky Tower in 2021.

The casino is owned and operated by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and proceeds fund development and education programs for the tribe and nearby communities. The resort is marketed as "One Hour North of Dallas," and about 75 percent of its customers come from Texas. The District, finished in September 2015, is a non-smoking entertainment area with an arcade, cinema, bowling alley and virtual reality arena.

The complex spreads across a 50-acre site, with the Grand Tower rising above the Grand Casino and the 21-floor Sky Tower added in 2021. The District, completed in September 2015, is a non-smoking zone for bowling, movies and arcade games. The Oasis pool area was closed for renovations as of spring 2023, so check before planning a swim.

The complex features a dedicated entertainment zone called The District with bowling, movie theaters, and arcade games in a smoke-free setting. This area gives visitors different entertainment choices beyond gaming tables and machines.
