Choctaw Casino & Resort – Grant is run by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma on Highway 271 in Grant, a small town in south-eastern Oklahoma roughly 17 miles north of Paris, Texas. Much of its crowd crosses the Red River from north-east Texas. It rates 4.2 from around 6,900 Google reviewers.
It is a mid-sized resort: a busy slot floor, a solid set of live table games, a hotel with a pool, and several places to eat, in a rural setting well away from any city.
What's on the floor
The venue lists more than 1,200 machines, including penny slots, progressives and higher-stakes games.
Live table games include blackjack, Three Card Poker, craps, bonus craps, roulette and Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em. Tables are not open around the clock: the venue lists noon to 2am Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 2am on Thursdays and Sundays, and 10am to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
What it does not have: no poker room and no regular bingo hall. Poker-style games are limited to the table versions above. Occasional bingo-style events appear on the entertainment calendar, but there is no standing bingo operation.
Hotel and pool
The hotel offers kings, doubles and suites, and the East wing rooms were recently renovated. Room counts vary by listing — a 2017 expansion added a West wing tower of 96 rooms, and one booking site gives around 150 rooms in total — so ask when booking if size matters.
The Cove Pool is open daily from 9am to 10pm, with private cabanas and a pool bar. Non-hotel guests can buy a wristband.

Tips before you go
You must be 18 to gamble. The Choctaw Nation's gaming rules bar anyone under 18 from the gaming floor, and its casinos list 18 and over for play. You must be 21 to drink.
Google lists the casino as open 24 hours, seven days a week, and the venue agrees. Table games and restaurants keep the shorter hours listed above.
Valet parking is listed as complimentary around the clock from Friday to Monday and from 5am to 11pm Tuesday to Thursday, with a charge on some event nights. If you are driving up from Texas, the casino sits right on Highway 271, so it is an easy run from Paris.
