The Golden Pony Casino in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma is shut down due to an internal leadership struggle within the Thlopthlocco Tribal Town (TTT), according to The Oklahoman. The casino is located off Interstate 40 Exit 227 between Oklahoma City and Tulsa in Okemah, OK.
The TTT is a federally-recognized tribe whose primary source of income is the Golden Pony Casino, its sole casino. The Golden Pony first opened in 2008 and was operating 24/7 with 400 slot machines when it was closed down in November.
The November shutdown followed an October 2025 meeting of the tribe's Thlopthlocco Business Committee, where opposition leaders accused the current leadership of being illegitimate. They claimed tribal leaders has not held an election for 18 years making the leadership invalid.
The dispute has since escalated and crippled the TTT government, resulting in the closure of the casino. The situation is described as an "overthrow of the tribal government". The tribe's website, tttown.org, reads "UNDER NEWLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT".
The website continues:
A Call for Unity and Renewed Sovereignty
Now is the time for unity, healing, and renewed strength. Our sovereignty and integrity are preserved only when our people stand together against corruption and outside interference. The Thlopthlocco Tribal Town remains a sovereign nation, governed by its Constitution and the will of its members.- Thlopthlocco Tribal Town (tttown.org)
Two issues must be completed before the Gold Pony Casino can reopen. The tribal leadership dispute must be completely resolved and approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and a criminal investigation by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation authorities must be completed for a November break-in of the casino. Until these issues are settled, the Golden Pony Casino will remain closed.
