Winstar's New Room in Southern Oklahoma

Winstar Casino on I 35 just North of the Red River finally opened their new room on Monday Night. It is so nice you won't believe you are in a tent!!

Actually, you are right and wrong.

First you were right about how great the room looks. The room is large, huge in fact, it has 46 tables. It is also one of the very nicest card rooms I have seen and I have played in AC, Reno and of course Vegas. It has posh appoinments like wood paneling, chandeliers, 20 flat panel TV's, a new in room grill with much improved food. The room remains smoke free but there is a smoking lounge that is behind closed doors and a player waiting area with a TV and leather furniture.

There is a lot more room between the tables and there is a high limit room that is about 1/2 the size of the old main poker room with just 6 tables in it.

But you won't be waiting long with 46 tables.

The room had 41 tables running Saturday night (April 15) 41, just 5 short of capacity in the first week they had it open.

What were you wrong about?

The room is actually the "Poker Hall" and is located in the metal building between the large tent and the smaller one they put up to house Bingo.

This building is the original casino where it all started and they have expanded out from it.

Come visit, it is worth the trip and you will not believe how first class this room is.

I might stop in on my way to Houston this summer...
