In short

Key takeaways

  • Our directory lists 141 tribal casinos and gaming venues in Oklahoma, more than any other state.
  • The state’s own compliance report counts 138 casinos with Vegas-style (Class III) games; our count is higher because it also includes bingo-style halls.
  • The tribal-state compact sets 18 as the minimum age, but many casinos that serve alcohol require 21.
  • Sports betting is not legal in Oklahoma; it would need changes to state law and the tribal compacts.

    Cherokee Nation’s Hard Rock and Cherokee Casino floors require 21.

    18 to play. 21 where alcohol is served, and for rooms.

Seminole house rules say 18 to enter, but those pages did not match three NIGC names, so the age is not copied onto those statuses.

Why the counts differ

Different sources count different things. The state compliance report counts only casinos with Vegas-style (Class III) games, and it does not publish their names.

Our directory also includes bingo-style (Class II) halls and small gaming areas at tribal travel stops, so its count is higher.

The Chickasaw and Choctaw nations run the most venues. Remington Park in Oklahoma City is a commercial racetrack, not a tribal casino.
