The answer is yes, the Choctaw Casino welcomes pets on the premises, as long as they are on a leash and accompanied by their owners. One of the most common questions is whether pets are allowed in the casino. I think higher minimums will be the norm at all casinos in the country.For visitors to the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma, it is important to know what is and isn’t allowed on the premises. Hopefully, table minimums will be reduced, but I don't think that is going to happen. I really like the smoke-free gaming areas. The others in my party played slots and ended up doing okay on winnings. There is a large variety of slot machines. We had an enjoyable game of Blackjack and played for over an hour at the same table. I probably would not have played craps as $15 minimums is pushing my budget with as many bets that I would place on a roll. No craps tables were open in the smoke-free casino while we were there. Minimums for Blackjack and Craps were $15. We were able to grab four seats at a Blackjack table when they opened play in the smoke-free casino. Slot machines are in operation all the time in all three casinos, but I like to play Blackjack and Craps, and am not a slots player. Around 3:30 pm, more table games opened in one of the other casino areas and that area was non-smoking. There are three casino areas and the only table games that were open were in one casino that allowed smoking. We were able to park fairly close to one of the entrances and there were a lot of open parking spaces in the parking lot. We arrived around 1:00 pm on a Wednesday. I took off one star for the bad buffet food and one star for the smoke in the casino.Ĭhoctaw Casino is a very nice facility. We have eaten there several times since and always delicious. The one good food place is the Grande Cafe. The sauce was so hot that I couldn't even eat much.

Almost nothing on offer and wasn't tasty at all.

The buffet was horrid! Worst I have ever had anywhere. Really, just please go all non-smoking! My other complaint is the food. I would be wheezing by the time I got to the clean air. You have to walk a long way through the smoking area to get to the non-smoking newer section.

The only problem with the Spa tower is that the casino there is smoking. If someone is in the bathroom while you are using the closet, they are trapped in the bathroom until you close the closet door! Annoying. This was our first time at Choctaw Casino Resort.
