Choctaw Casino – Broken Bow is a small casino run by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma on South Park Drive in Broken Bow, in the far south-eastern corner of the state. It rates 4.0 from around 2,600 Google reviewers.
Setting expectations matters here because of what is nearby. The Choctaw Nation also runs Choctaw Landing, a newer, larger casino resort in Hochatown, a few minutes up the road towards Broken Bow Lake and Beavers Bend. If you have seen photos of a lodge-style resort with a hotel, that is almost certainly Choctaw Landing, not this property. The Broken Bow casino is a local slots room.
What's on the floor
The venue describes "hundreds" of slot machines, including progressives and higher-stakes games, with bets from 1 cent up to $5. Directories put the count at roughly 400 to 500 machines. The floor uses a ticket system, so you can move between machines freely.
Table games are not listed on the casino's current official page. Older directory listings mentioned a few tables — blackjack, Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em and Three Card Poker — on limited evening and weekend hours, but that information is a few years old. If live tables are the point of your trip, call before you go.
There is no poker room, no bingo hall and no hotel.
Dining and the lounge
- Reel 'Em In Café — casual meals, including seafood, plus drinks
- The Oak Tree Lounge — a bar with local and regional live music and beer specials
The venue lists both as open Sunday to Thursday 11am to midnight and Friday and Saturday 11am to 2am.
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's own page agrees. The café and lounge close earlier, as above, and any table games would keep their own limited hours.
If you are visiting the Broken Bow Lake and Hochatown cabin area, this is a convenient short stop. For a hotel room, a pool or a bigger floor, the Choctaw Landing resort nearby is the more complete option. There is no lodging at this property.
