We will be heading to Oklahoma next week (from St. Louis) We will be
staying in Norman, and will send a report on Riverwind and Thunderbird
(if it still exists.) We might also visit Fire Lake, but that didn't
impress me last time we visited it. I know Oklahoma has a lot of
casinos. Is there anything else on our route that any of you would
recommend for a two-three hour visit?

After NV OK has more casinos than any other state!

You'll be coming through Tulsa on I44. Cherokee Casino in Tulsa is
the largest casino currently in the state. Get off I44 at I244 East.
about three miles east at 193rd E Ave exit. Poker, blackjack, slots,
and VP. Slots are actually bingo. No full pay video poker.
There's also Creek Nation Casino and Million Dollar Elm Casino in
Tulsa. Both with several locations.
Main Museums are Philbrook (art) and Gilcrease (Western - probably
best of the best).
If you're interested, and have any specific questions, I'll try to help.

Cherokee Casino is the Best in the Tulsa area. They have a lot of bingo slots but also a
full regiment of Class III machines (Native American linked Wheel of Fortune progressives
and such).
They have a large poker area, on evenings and weekends they have a card versions of both
Roulette and Craps. They have a decent inventory of card games BlackJack, Ultimate Texas
Hold'em, Pai Gow Poker, and 3 card poker.
All machines except the Twisters Bartops have .25/.50 JOB at 8/5, Dollar at 8/6. DDB
.25/.50 at 9/5, Dollar at 9/6, better than I've seen in a long time on the Vegas Strip. Other
games are a pretty bad Deuces, White Hot Aces, and a short pay Bonus Poker. They have
Double Bonus but I'm not familiar with the pay's. Twisters Bartops are reduced and with
the band at night usually too loud to play there.
There is a cash back in the mail a week after you've played 100 points on your card in one
visit. $5 per point, points are worth a penny a piece for cash/comps.
The problem with Cherokee and Creek casinos in Tulsa, they started out as bingo halls
years ago and only added on to there existing facilities. While they have new sections, the
older, sections are pretty worn out and need to be removed.
