Casinos in Oklahoma

Oklahoma doesn't get nearly enough credit as a casino state. It has one of the largest tribal gaming industries in the country, nearly 140 casinos run by dozens of sovereign nations, covering everything from penny slots to high-stakes poker. WinStar World Casino near the Texas border is one of the biggest gaming floors on the planet by square footage, which is why it pulls so many Texas players who can't get this kind of action at home. Beyond the casinos, the state has genuine things going for it: Route 66 history, the Wichita Mountains, and a Native American cultural heritage that goes far deeper than the gaming industry built on top of it.
