Luckiest Casinos in Oklahoma State

We did a quick Google search on “what is Oklahoma known for?” and while we didn’t exactly expect the answer to be “amazing casinos," everything pointed towards "tornadoes" instead, which was also unexpected. Anyway, on to the Oklahoma casinos—there are 143 of them in the state. 

Based on a population of about 3 million, there's one casino for every 20,000 people (which sounded more impressive in our heads). The biggest of the casino locations is WinStar World Casino & Resort, which has over 600,000 feet of casino floor with 7,400 electronic games (that’s more than at all casinos in the state of South Dakota). 

In 2022, casinos generated $3.19 billion in revenue, and the industry employs around 76,000 people, so it’s really thriving. But believe it or not, that hasn’t always been the case. In fact, compared to many other states, it took gambling significantly longer to establish itself here. 

During the 1990s, Native American gambling gained popularity nationwide, but it remained illegal in Oklahoma. Tribes persistently campaigned for over a decade, culminating in the approval of electronic games at three racetracks in the state in 2004. In the same year, there was a referendum on casino gambling, and voila, four years later, the state was home to almost 50,000 slots.

If you’re keen to give Oklahoma gambling a go, you’ll definitely want to make sure you’re playing at the luckiest of those 143 casinos. We hopped on to TripAdvisor and scoured the reviews for mentions of words like "winner," "luck," and "jackpot," and we’ve put together a list of the luckiest casinos in the state.

Let’s look at the casinos that we decided to evaluate:

• WinStar World Casino and Resort 
• Choctaw Casino Resort 
• Riverwind Casino 
• River Bend Casino 
• River Spirit Casino Resort 
• Indigo Sky Casino & Hotel 
• Downstream Casino Resort 
• Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa 
• Buffalo Run Casino & Resort 
• Remington Park 
• Kiowa Casino & Hotel 
• Firelake Grand Casino 
• The Artesian Hotel Casino

• Cherokee Casino Roland 
• Choctaw Casino Resort
• Osage Casino 
• Thunderbird Casino 
• Comanche Nation Casino 
• Lucky Star Casino Clinton 
• Grand Lake Casino 
• Comanche Red River Casino 
• Newcastle Casino

Choctaw Casino Resort had the most mentions of our luck-related keywords. It comes in at a Luck Percentage of 43.27%. So yes, that does mean that almost half of the Tripadvisor reviews we saw called out words like "winning," "won," or "luck." 

According to one delighted visitor, “I love this casino so much more than Winstar. Staff is friendly. I love the variety of slot machines. It doesn't hurt that I came out a winner.”

If you do want to give the massive WinStar World Casino and Resort a go, we have good news on the front too—they've placed second on our rating, with 39.50%. Widely regarded as the largest casino in the US, this casino is second-largest in the world by feet of gaming floor—only behind Venetian Macau!

In third place was Border Casino, which had a luck percentage of 38.74% and an impressive 17 out of 111 reviews mentioned the word "won." Border Casino is located near the Texas border (as the name might suggest), so it's convenient for players from both states. It has 920 games, which might not be the biggest selection in the state, but it certainly isn't the smallest.

The Artesian Hotel Casino, on the other end of the scale, is second from the bottom, with a luck percentage of 14.63%. “Tight casino,” said one unhappy customer, although this one does have a spa, so how bad can it be, right?

And finally, at the very bottom of the list is River Bend Casino, with 12.80%. Not as bad as some ratings we've seen in other states, so you still have a chance if you gamble here. None of the 122 reviews mentioned “hand pay” or "success," but we did notice 13 mentions of the word "won," although maybe they were saying “I never won.”
