Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant

Durant's floor is enormous -- over 7,400 slots -- and it's home to Oklahoma's first $1 Million Dragon Link, housed inside the resort's $600 million Sky Tower expansion.

Choctaw Casino & Resort - Durant sits just north of the Texas border on US-69, and by floor size it's one of the largest casinos in the world -- over 7,400 slot machines spread across three connected gaming areas, anchored by Oklahoma's first $1 Million Dragon Link. The property traces back to a 28,000-square-foot bingo hall the Choctaw Nation opened in 1987; nearly four decades and five expansions later, it's grown into a resort built around the 21-story Sky Tower. Here's what's actually on the floor, how the space is laid out, and what to know before you play.

Slot Machines

The headline machine is the $1 Million Dragon Link, which Choctaw Durant advertises as Oklahoma's first version of the game to carry that jackpot tier -- it anchors a slot floor built more around volume and variety than any single theme. Asian-fortune titles make up a large share of the lineup: Dancing Drums Prosperity and its sibling Dancing Drums Duo Fu Wa sit alongside Jinse Dao, the twin Fu Dai Lian Lian Boost cabinets (Peacock and Tiger versions), Wicked Wheel Fire Phoenix and Wicked Wheel Panda, and the Treasure Box Dynasty and Treasure Box Kingdom pairing, plus Regal Riches and Money Trails Shining Phoenix. Buffalo-branded and animal-themed cabinets show up repeatedly too, from Buffalo Gold and Super Buffalo to the Mighty Cash Ultra line (the base game and its Lion Charge variant), Golden Toad, and Stuffed Coins Toad. Classic and licensed titles round out the mix: Wizard of Oz, Medusa, the long-running Hexbreaker, and Wonder 4 sit near cash-themed newer releases like Big Money Burst, Cash Falls and its Pirate's Trove version, Cash Machine Win What You See, Money Link, and Piggy Banking. A handful of other titles fill out the floor -- Inca Express, Happy Tiki, Mystical Mushroom, Genies Prize, Frontier Spin, Lucky Haul, Double Black Diamond, Volcanic Rock Fire, and Invaders Attack from the Planet Moolah -- giving Durant one of the more varied slot lineups of any Oklahoma property, all pulled directly from the property's own official listings rather than a secondary directory.

Table Games and the Poker Room

Beyond the slots, Durant runs over 100 nonsmoking table games spread across the property, covering craps, roulette, baccarat, pai gow, and blackjack. The poker room sits inside the nonsmoking Sky Casino area and carries more than 30 tables -- a sizable room by regional standards, and one of the draws of the 2021 Sky Tower expansion specifically. Between the slot count and the table-game total, Durant's own marketing leans into calling itself one of the largest casino resorts in the world, and the numbers back that framing up: this isn't a boutique regional room, it's a floor built at a scale closer to a Strip property than a typical tribal casino.

Layout and Smoking Policy

The property is split into three connected casino areas -- the original Grand Casino, the Link Casino, and the newer Sky Casino -- with the Sky Casino's opening adding its own slots, table games, a game room, and the poker room described above. Smoking policy varies by section: the Sky Tower and its Sky Casino are entirely nonsmoking, while designated smoking areas remain in the older parts of the property. That split is worth knowing before you pick a table or a bank of machines, since the two casino generations feel noticeably different -- the Sky Casino is the newer, non-smoking, higher-end build, while Grand and Link retain more of the property's earlier character.

History: From Bingo Hall to Sky Tower

Gaming at this location goes back to 1987, when the Choctaw Nation opened a 28,000-square-foot bingo hall that pulled players from both Oklahoma and Texas -- a year ahead of the state law that would let tribal facilities add slots, blackjack, and poker. The modern Choctaw Casino & Resort launched in 2006 with a 100,000-square-foot casino and hotel, then expanded repeatedly: a 12-story hotel tower in 2010, upgrades to the Choctaw Lodge and Choctaw Inn alongside a new Grand Tower, Grand Theater, and The District entertainment district in 2012, and finally the $600 million Sky Tower in 2021 -- a 21-story addition that brought 1,000 new luxury rooms, 3,300 more slot machines, new restaurants, bars, movie theaters, and three acres of pools. That's roughly 35 years of continuous expansion from a single bingo hall to a resort the property now bills as one of the largest in the world.

Rewards Club and Hotel

Guests can track play through the property's Rewards Club, which offers tier-based perks including preferred hotel rates as status increases. The resort's hotel now spans 1,700 rooms across its AAA Four Diamond tower -- a total built up over three separate hotel expansions since the original 2006 opening, most recently the Sky Tower's 1,000-room addition. For anyone splitting time between the casino floor and an overnight stay, that scale means most of the property's newer rooms sit closest to the newer, nonsmoking Sky Casino gaming areas.

What to Know Before You Play

A few practical notes: with 7,400-plus slots and three connected casino sections, it's worth deciding in advance whether you want the newer nonsmoking Sky Casino or the older Grand and Link sections, since the smoking policy and machine mix differ between them. If you're chasing the $1 Million Dragon Link specifically, it's positioned as a Sky Tower headline game rather than scattered across the older floor. And if you're standing in front of an unfamiliar cabinet and want a quick read on whether it's worth playing, photographing it and asking 6-lab's Advisor is faster than guessing from the paytable alone.
