Oklahoma is OK with casinos. In fact, driving through Oklahoma is like driving through Nevada. Casinos, travel plaza's with slots, and bingo parlors are everywhere.
Nevada has more casinos and slot joints than any other state, but Oklahoma has boomed into more than a second-thought casino state.
Oklahoma's state-line communities are popular for more than cheap cigarettes these days as thousands of gambler's trip their state borders to hit the casinos in Oklahoma.
How many casinos?Well, a casino's a casino, except may it's not if it only offers pull tabs, or bingo, or just slots and no table games, but no matter how you count 'em up, you have to wonder if 100 casinos in Oklahoma is too many? Or not enough!
Residents of neighboring states flood Oklahoma casinos with cash, while Texas residents alone (according to Texan's for Economic Development, a PAC) contribute more than $2.5 billion dollars, but that's OK with Oklahoma too!
At the Winstar casino in Thackerville, most of the cars in the parking lot have Texas plates, but why shouldn't they. The casino has a nice 394 room hotel, several restaurants, a full casino with everything from slots and bingo to a poker room, and they bring in big-name entertainment like Jeff Foxworthy, Leann Rimes, Hank Williams Jr., and Randy Travis, Sounds pretty good to me.
So, it doesn't matter whether you are in Ada, Muskogee, or Wyandotte, gambling is OK in Oklahoma.

Driving through OK is NOT anything like Nevada. The gambling is second rate and NO ONE seems to know how to play CRAPS. Oklahoma is not the place to gamble for me.
If I lived there I would save my money and take a short flight to Las Vegas. OK is NOT ok.
I recently drove through OK and checked out the casinos. The casinos are okay–nothing extraordinary. Driving the the state isn’t fun because of the toll roads.
Well i guess Casinos being OK is Oklahoma is OK. Why? Because recently news are all about restricting casinos/online casinos on some places and countries. Its good to know that there are still places that is open for gambling. Its not that exciting as Las Vegas, but at least, gambling is OK in Oklahoma.
