Oklahoma state law requires that the ante be 'paid' in order to have the right to play. I've never known Winstar or the other Choctaw casino in the Southwestern portion of the state to waive or pay the ante for the player. However, the Osage tribe and the Creek Tribes in the Northeastern portion of the state, specifically in Tulsa. routinely pay the ante for the player Sundays - Wednesdays. Additionally, the Quapaw tribe, who owns the Downstream Casino on the Oklahoma - Missouri border, pays the ante every day of the week. As an avid blackjack player, I'd never play at Windstar because of the ante and because each table has CSMs. However, I like playing double-deck in the Tulsa area at both the Creek & the Osage casinos on days with no ante.I hear Oklahoma has such raw deals that its better to just keep going and save your money for Vegas where you get more bang for your buck.
Have you ever bought a food item at a 7-Eleven?
Craps uses cards instead of dice. It suppose to reduce addiction. Well, government knows best.
That's not the reason. The true reason is that the state already knows that dice and roulette wheels are much more 'sinful' than cards.
OK has some very fancy casinos and some very plain ones. There are some casinos with an ante and bad games, there are some with no ante and great games. As the rest of the country has eroded paytables, OK generally hasn't followed suit. It's one of the only places left where a person could find 3CP and UTH with the best possible paytables. BJ rules aren't bad either, in houses with no ante. Winstar is pretty awesome. It's huge (like, Foxwoods big) and has multiple themes. But, it requires an ante everytime all the time. The poker room is crazy-busy, especially on weekends. Last time I was there, my friend spent the first 2 hours of our 3 hour visit just sitting on the list for a seat.
Casinos by Durant and by Wichita Falls (TX) are barely farther from Dallas and have better rules (like no ante...).
If poker is your only game, it's very easy to find action in Texas. Just find any fraternal lodge or firehouse and talk your way into their game.

I have heard a lot about Foxwoods. How does it compare to the high-end Vegas casinos?
Seriously? A 50 cent ante for Blackjack? That's ridiculous. I've never even heard of that. .
Does Winstar Casino Have Roulette Tables To Play
I'm not a blackjack expert but I was under the assumption that this type of blackjack was Class II. The house makes it's money off the 50 cent commission, but is not allowed to keep any of the winnings in the game itself. The money is returned to the players usually through promotions.
The first time I seen the 50 cent ante game was at Sandia in Albuquerque in 1995. It was an 8 deck game and anyone who made 4 blackjacks in a row won a $40,000 car.

You're right (of course, you knew that) about the Downstream. I forgot that they do not charge the player an ante. It's just so far from where I live (furthest part of the state), that I wouldn't consider driving there just to play blackjack. However, I still believe that (paying an ante per hand) to be the case at the Winstar. A phone call to someone in table games can confirm that easily.

I believe the closest OK casino to Wichita Falls, Texas, is the Kiowa casino, located north on I-44, just off of exit 1 in OK. Last time I was there 2 - 3 years ago, they charged the 50 cent ante per hand at blackjack and 3CP, and I assume all table games.
If they've changed that, I'd like to know, as I travel by there occasionally and would consider playing, so long as no ante was required.

Table games - 50 cents per hand ante. This fee is never waived at any time at this location.
6300 slot machines. I forget what class, but I know some or all are based on bingo patterns.
Nice roomy poker room. 10% up to max $5 rake with $1 bad beat drop also. $1 of any small blind is dropped before the deal so if you play 1-2 No Limit then the small blind would lose that dollar in a chop situation. (Their poker room is on the Bravo Live app if you want to see what games are spread.)
Actually has a bingo room that I don't know anything about and also an off track betting room if you like the horses.
Amazing poker. I believe this is the only place in America where people should play the game. No arm twisting by a bunch of crooks. When you hold the button, the pot is usually yours, you not facing seven freaks stealing your money.
I've heard these Southern Oklahoma casinos have amazing action. All that oil money coming up from Texas -- they are enormous gamblers. You can do very, very well down there.Does Winstar Casino Have Roulette Tables For Sale
Another poster already mentioned it, but I will reiterate. To my knowledge, all OK casinos (unless during a particular promotion, etc.) charge an ante per hand. That means you pay a fee for each table game hand you play. For example, if you want to play blackjack at $5 a hand, you pay a separate $.50 for each hand you play. Average 60 hands per hour = $30 you are paying separate and apart from winnings / losses. What a rip-off and is why I refuse to give OK any of my action - on principle!
If you're travelling west, hold out for New Mexico or Colorado, where no ante per hand is expected. Likewise, if travelling east, Louisiana does not charge an ante per hand.
OK is also one of those states that doesn't allow dice games - craps is played with several modified decks of cards - Lameo!!!
My advice - keep going, regardless of direction!
Best of luck!

I live within a couple of hours of several Mississippi casinos that offer good rules/conditions for a player like me. I'm not desperate enough to play bad conditions somewhere else. I was in Orlando this summer and drove over to the Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa to play one evening. I walked in and noticed that the Blackjack tables were all stocked with CSM's. I walked right out and drove back to Orlando without playing a hand.
I will be passing by the WinStar this November on a major midwestern road trip. I'm starting and ending in Dallas and will pass through Oklahoma. Even if the place had ideal rules/conditions, I wouldn't play for more than an hour or so before getting back on the road. As it is, from what people have said on this thread, I will probably just stop by and take a quick look around and then go on my way.
Anyone been to this casino on the Texas/Oklahoma border? If so, what do you think of it? I will be passing through the area in November and might stop by for a bit.
In terms of number of slot machines, WinStar is the largest casino in the world. That is the only attraction they have.
If you want to actually play at any tables or machines, go to other states for a real casino.
