"GamblingResort.com thought it would be a great idea to travel around this beautiful state to take a first hand look at Indian casinos as some 25% of all Indian casinos in the United States are located here.

In fact, the Sooner State is host to more than 90 Indian casinos of various sizes, shapes and qualities.

Extensive information about Indian casinos in all states can be found here.

This casino information and travel site also rates venues on a “Four Ace” scale. The highest quality places receive a rating of “Four Aces.”

Automobile was the preferred mode of travel in this quest to visit as many places as possible within a week’s time. In the end, some 1,200 miles were logged by the road-weary Chevrolet SSR rental car used by the bloggers at GamblingResort.com.

These are the Indian tribes that own casinos in Oklahoma: Absentee Shawnee. Apache. Arapaho. Cherokee. Cheyenne. Chickasaw. Choctaw. Citizen Band Potawatomi. Comanche. Creek. Delaware. Eastern Shawnee. Fort Sill Apache. Iowa. Kaw. Kickapoo. Kiowa. Miami. Modoc. Osage. Otoe-Missouria. Ottawa. Pawnee. Peoria. Ponca. Quapaw. Sac and Fox. Wyandotte.

Finding some of the casinos on back-country roads on Indian land is no easy task. Google maps might point one in the general direction, but could not quite pin down some spots.

Many times it became necessary to get directions the old fashioned way: by asking a friendly Oklahoman."
