Introduction to Oklahoma Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2019

Oklahoma slot machine casino gambling consists of over a hundred American Indian tribal casinos or travel centers as well as two pari-mutuel racinos with slot machines. Most casinos offer Class II competition-style gaming machines, although they can also legally offer Class III slot machines.

No minimum or maximum payout return limits are set in Oklahoma. Further, no payout return statistics are publicly available.

This post continues the weekly series Online Resource: A State-By-State Slot Machine Casino Gambling Series, an online resource dedicated to guiding slot machine casino gambling enthusiasts to success. Each weekly post reviews slots gambling in a single U.S. state, territory, or the federal district.

Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Oklahoma*

The minimum legal gambling age in Oklahoma depends upon the gambling activity:

  • Land-Based Casinos: 18
  • Poker Rooms: 18
  • Bingo: 16
  • Lottery: 18
  • Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

Oklahoma has the second largest American Indian population in the U.S., while California has the largest. Since 2009, Oklahoma has led the nation in the growth rate of tribal gaming. Oklahoma offers only tribal gaming.

In November 2004, Oklahoma residents approved a State-Tribal Gaming Act via referendum. This measure enacted a model tribal gaming compact, allowing tribes to use new gaming machines and card games.

Based on this model compact, 33 tribes have negotiated state-tribal compacts with Oklahoma. Many tribal casinos prefer to offer Class II competition-style electronic games rather than Class III Vegas-style slot machines.

Class II machines behave similarly to Class III games with only slight differences. For instance, Class II games have spinning reels for entertainment purposes only.

*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws apply to various forms of gambling. This information is not intended to provide legal advice.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in Oklahoma

It is legal to privately own a slot machine in the state of Oklahoma if it is 25 years old or older.

Gaming Control Board in Oklahoma

Oklahoma’s state-tribal compacts regulate tribal gaming in Oklahoma. However, the state of Oklahoma provides oversight under these compacts. This oversight role is the legal responsibility of the Gaming Compliance Unit within the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OEMS).

Based on the Oklahoma Gaming Compliance Unit Annual Report 2018, it is easy to see why Oklahoma casinos prefer offering Class II games. The reason? Tribal casinos have to pay the state 4% to 6% of revenue from Class III machines on a sliding scale.

The balance between Class II and Class III machines in Oklahoma continues to shift. The number of Class III machines has steadily grown since 2012, but Class II machines grew even faster. In 2015, 57% of Class II and III gaming machines were Class III games. In 2017, there were 41,395 Class III machines in Oklahoma.

Casinos in Oklahoma

There are over a hundred American Indian tribal casinos as well as two pari-mutuel wagering racinos in Oklahoma. Providing an accurate count of casinos is difficult. Why? Because many convenience stores and travel plazas identify themselves as casinos.

The largest casino in Oklahoma is the largest casino in the world. It is the WinStar World Casino and Resort having 8,200 gaming machines and 100 table games.

The second largest casino in Oklahoma is Riverwind Casino having 2,700 gaming machines and 27 table games.
