$180 produced a 54k jackpot on a nickel machine with a max bet of 3.50. The most I’ve won at Choctaw was 5k in one hand pay AFTER playing $3500. I came from Winstar, where over a period of 3 years, I won 250k. When I tell you the machines are tight- believe me! It does not matter what day-time of day etc. I’m a slot enthusiast and go weekly to Choctaw.
I have been an Onyx player for over a year. Had so many better trips to Winstar than Choctaw in Durant. This casino is pretty in appearance but sure made me miss Winstar. I don't know about the table games as I do not play those. I kept going back thinking maybe it was just those few times I went, truly sucks there. I have been several times and I have never won anything. The Sky tower hotel check in is very classy and upscale in appearance. But I guess the arcades are exactly that! The adult casino, however, while in appearance is nice the slots are not! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!! They will take your money in a matter of minutes. I feel like it is priming them up to be gamblers.
I do not believe children of any age should be in ANY casino AT ALL. They even have a kid area with bowling, movies, food and a little kiddie casino - Arcade. The swimming pool area is very nice and kid friendly. Went in September and had a very nice stay in the hotel.
