New $600M Choctaw Casino Durant is targeting North Texans

August 25, 2021

Native American casinos in South Oklahoma draw heavily from cities in North Texas. Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant is only 14 miles from the Texas border and 90 miles from Dallas.

For this reason, the Choctaw Nation invested $600 million into expanding and upgrading its casino and hotel in Durant, Oklahoma. The new resort opened August 6 with a casino floor that doubled in size and now features 7,400 slot machines and 100 table games. A second hotel tower was also added that increases the number of rooms to 1,700.

The population of North Texas is double that of Oklahoma, so it is no surprise that Texans represent a major share of gamblers in Oklahoma casinos.

Some experts estimate Texan gamblers spend $2.5 to $3 billion annually in Oklahoma. That amount of revenue is essential to the economy of the Oklahoma's tribal casinos. Texas is not likely to legalize its own casinos in the near future, however if someday it does, many of the casinos in Oklahoma would become unprofitable.

1,000 new employment opportunities are expected to be created by the Choctaw Casino and Resort expansion project. The Choctaw Casino and Resort is located in the city of Durant. By creating 1,000 new jobs it is expected to create a boost to the local economy in Durant.

On Tuesday the plans for the new expansion project at the Choctaw Casino and Resort were announced. Plans include a new hotel that will be developed. The new hotel will offer 1,000 rooms for guests. The expansion project will also include pools, a lazy river, shopping, conference center, and multiple dining venues. In addition, more gaming space at the casino and additional parking in the new parking garage.

The casino first opened in 2006. At that time the casino was 100,000 square feet. In 2010 a new 12 story tall hotel tower was opened. In 2012 renovations were completed at the Choctaw Lodge and Choctaw Inn. The District family entertainment center, Grand Theater, and an additional hotel tower and spa were opened in 2015.

This will be the fourth expansion project that the Choctaw Casino and Resort has undergone.

The latest expansion project came about to due to a market study that was conducted. The study showed that there is a need for more entertainment options in Southern Oklahoma and North Texas.

It is estimated to take 2 years to complete the project. The Choctaw Nation is hopeful to begin construction next year in the spring.
