<![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant - American Casino Guide Casino Reviews]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/ <![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Are you kidding me!!!!!]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509605 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509605
I can't believe some of the negative reviews I'm reading. We moved to Texas 4 years ago and have been going to Choctaw Durant for 3 years. What more would these people want. This place is amazing, we win every time we play on slots. You can't spend 30 cents on a machine and expect to win thousands. Our rooms have always been immaculate. The pools and the restaurants and the whole casino is so clean. It is such a nice break when you stay three days like we do to go to a movie or the spa or lay around the pool. We recently went to Lake Charles Louisiana just to see the casinos. We left after one day. Go ahead, go to Louisiana and see what your experience is like. Oh and be sure you pay close attention to the customer service....there is none. When you go to eat or do anything, they act like they're doing you a favor to wait on you. I will never gamble anywhere but Choctaw Durant, so you people that gave negative reviews, maybe you should go to other casinos and see how they take care of you. Choctaw Durant is in my mind a Vegas equal casino. We love it there. P.S. we've been gambling for over 40 years and we both hit our biggest jackpots ever at Choctaw Durant.

<![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Great place for video poker players]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509578 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509578 Pay tables on video poker are outstanding, the best in Oklahoma. Jacks or better pays 9 on a full house and 6 on a flush, which along with the other standard payouts equals a 99.5% return on your gambling dollars. You do have to pay $0.50 to get this return, but if you bring enough $ in case of a bad start, those are VERY good odds. I have found only one other casino in OK with 9/6: the little Buffalo Run in Miami, although at Buffalo Run you can get these odds on single quarter play. And Choctaw Durant machines are progressive, meaning an even higher return on max bet (which Buffalo Run doesn't offer). In contrast, the Grand in Shawnee pays 8/6, Fire Lake in Norman 9/5, Downstream in Quapaw 8/5, and the Winstar a miserable 7/5! Of course, video poker is a game of skill, and the casino counts on you not making optimal plays, but if you are well versed on the game, Choctaw Durant and Buffalo Run are the places for you. We've dined at three restaurants so far: the grill, the buffet and Smashburger were all quite good for dining of their respective types. We were comped a free room, and found it clean and comfortable. (The comps are earned by my wife, who plays video keno. You'll never get good comps playing video poker; the casinos want you playing the more profitable [for the house] slots.) ]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2019 05:18:20 +0000 <![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Choctaw Durant casino and resort]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509168 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509168
Choctaw Durant casino and resort is the only casino I play at i love the energy and environment very well maintained.slot machines pay out pretty well along with the tables.If gambling is not your thing or you have kids with you they have arcade room movies bowling pool and more things to enjoy I choose Choctaw Durant casino over winstar casino every time for Oklahoma casinos.So I'm just putting out my experience with Choctaw casino but you take a chance at any casino is rather spend where I'm welcomed and treated with care plus winning isn't short it's pretty good.Speaking for myself not all sorry if you had a bad experience.

<![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Manipulated Slots discriminating]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509127 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2509127
The United States gaming commission needs to pull Choctaw Casino license. That casino continues to manipulate the slot machines to where they will not give you bonus rounds or a worker will come by and insert their card to shut down that particular machine or row, their machine skips spins you are more likely to win if you're anything other than African American the payouts for the jackpots or three times less than what they wore the previous years. It's they're Crooks if they're not going to give the money away in winnings to the Patriots that patronize their business then they need to give it to the federal government for non-compliance of the gambling laws

I paid almost $400 dollars for 1 night at the Choctaw Inn. The television in the room was only like 27 inches, the room was not clean(trash from previous guest),no shower curtain, only sheets on the bed no blankets or comforter. I was extremely disappointed for 400 bucks. And when i expressed my displeasure to the manager, i was told that i should have stayed in the main hotel.

No reporting required on slots. Hold has to be well over 25%. A blind squirrel can find a nut but YOU WILL LOSE HERE. Poor comps, poor table games and poorer slots. $15 bets on slots and $30 bonus rounds are the norm. The Indians found a way to get the white man. Its called Choctaw/Winstar

“the worst payout on vgts and all slots and poor service of all time!!” Pending review The slots are so bad you spend hours trying hit something and the vgts slots are so bad that you only get a cross corner or chance because that have either removed bingo numbers or set it when you go into bonus mode and red ball numbers have been removed , most numbers ending in a 3 2 0 1 or even a 4 you are unable to hit on their bingo numbers they are not or never going to be the same the smoke is so bad , the comps are a lot of trouble to get and your promo points has gotten so small its just worth going up there anymore there is no customer service at all!

I have no association with Choctaw Durant, When filing my taxes for 2016 I claimed over 50,000.00 in winnings. And yes I meant to write 50,000.00, I had a total of 18 handpays in 7 months, largest being a 22,000.00 jackpot. Note* you can win here but you have to play high limit, or at least max bet... LAR plano

<![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Warning for red-flagging and poor service]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2508680 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2508680
I have been going to Choctaw for years and you used to know what your comps and totals were but that has changed. Service has steadily gone downhill and is the worst that it has ever been since 2010 when I started going to the facility. You are questioned and grilled if you want to use the comps. When I call VIP at x1603, it is difficult to get anyone to answer the telephone. Then if I ask for something, it is like they want to make it difficult to use any of the "advertised" benefits of being a player. I am a diamond player and one would think that would get me some type of extra service or special service but it does not. It seems to make it even more difficult. Plus, if you complain to the Nation or the chief’s office you get red-flagged. I was told my points would never expire but then when I recently went to use them, I was told they were expired. I never received any notification of the change in rules. When I said I would do a review, one of the slot workers said "Go ahead, it won't do anything." He went on to say if they lose one, there are 20 more suckers that walk through the door. Vegas at least appreciates their customers and understand their value and that customers are who pay the bills and the salaries of the employees. I do not see that at Choctaw. They hide behind the fact they are not governed by the state and with that, think they can do what they want and make the rules, of course, to protect their pockets which is the only driver. I understand it is a business and they are out to make money but a good business understands the value of taking care of customers so they return. I have also been told by a Choctaw employee that there is a business that removes bad reviews or puts in good ones to make sure the bad ones are buried. The machines have been tightened, up yet it is made to look like people are winning. Attendance has dropped off so those that do show up do not stand a chance - they just don't realize it and they leave, with less and less coming back every day. One of the gaming commissioners for the Nation was there and I heard the VGT programmer come up to him and ask what to do when the screen turns red and goes into bonus mode. The manager said to remove the bingo ball. I made the comment that it appears they do control the payouts if that is what they are doing and he said yes. So, it is not "random" for payouts. He said they do control the payouts but would not acknowledge it was random. On another occasion, one of the VGT managers, who was quitting that week, came and sat next to me and said he could not wait to get out of there. I asked why the screens were not turning red. He said he was tired of coming in on Monday and Tuesday for a weekly bashing of hearing the Nation bickering because profits were down and the only thing we could do was remove more bingo numbers from the pattern. And that would then cause the payout to be less. When I asked Walter Allen, slot supervisor over the players club, why they don't take better care of the upper end players, he stated we do and when I asked about people like me that spend a lot and he shrugged it off saying they get that every day. There are two people in players club that told me if you call and complain on an employee, even if you are in the right, you are red-flagged and they said I am red-flagged. If you are red-flagged, it means you don't get the promo points you are supposed to get or able to use what you have accumulated. You get no comps. And you are treated very poorly The Nation, Heidi (have left three messages) and pretty much everyone else will not return the phone calls. You are better off buying a ticket to Vegas and spending your money there. Another example: I waited two hours to get a room and when they finally did, the first was a smoking room. The second was "occupied” because when I walked in, there were people in the room that were not supposed to be there and they were having sex. The third room was in the tower and was dirty so I left because I was afraid to complain. My advice to anyone that reads this is to save your money and not visit Choctaw. It used to be fun but it is not anymore as it is now big business and a number games. I hope this helps someone that is thinking of driving out to Durant Oklahoma. I hope others decide to also speak out.

<![CDATA[Choctaw Casino Resort - Durant: Less payout]]> https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2508629 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/oklahoma/choctaw-casino-durant.html/discussions/2508629
I have been a weekly regular at Choctaw resort,Durant for the last 12 yrs, so I have noticed how the slots payout has changed during that time. They are definately paying out less. They will let a few players win on the larger denominations, and a few run ups without jackpots, but bells ring for shorter durations. What's odd is there are more customers than ever before. I guess we are paying for the new construction. I'm looking for a different pass time. Not fun anymore.
