Oklahoma Casinos

We are starting to think about our annual trip to Norman. We will visit Riverwinds, Cherokee in Tulsa, and maybe check out Thunderbird. If anyone has a decent casino to recommend between St Louis and Norman, I'd appreciate the information.
  My real reason for posting: Has anyone seen any of those 7 hand video blackjack games in Oklahoma casinos recently? They were at Riverwinds and Cherokee last summer. I know the basic game is really short play, but you can play nickels and have a very interesting time trying to figure out the best strategy. This seems like a great alternative to short pay video poker. If they are still around, I'm going to have to get busy working on my blackjack game.

Kickapoo Casino in McCloud has a new building, a good players club, but terrible VP. Firelake, which is right on I-40, has decent VP. The two casinos are only about 6 miles apart. I go out to Kickapoo almost exclusively now for the decent slot play and best Players club in the area.

On the other hand, I personally would not waste any time in Riverwind (called Neverwin here by the locals). I have heard a few good things about Thunderbird attempting to compete with Riverwind by offering better machine odds, but I have not been out there personally.
