The north casino has restaurants mainly along its perimeter.
Shops, restrooms, cash machines are along the perimeter of the south casino. I played “Princess Warriors” game machine at the south casino. My experience is that I transferred my $10 from my card to the machine and won $50.00 collectively on the penny slots from the same machine in less than 10 minutes total. Your first day using a Players Club card will give you $10.00 of free play. The casino has two wings, north and south. The Choctaw Casino has a hotel, convention center, event venue, food court, restaurants and gift shops. Denison and Sherman are both good midway cities to stop for gas and food. There are signs to use the left lane only for passing. Speed limit reaches 75 mph at some points but can drop to 60 without much notice. The only rest areas are at the State lines of Oklahoma and Texas which are both northbound and southbound on highway 75. The State welcomes you then you will see a sign, “Chickasaw Nation,” which is one of the largest civilized tribes in the country. The freeway condition greatly improved across the State line to Oklahoma with smooth clean pavement and no pot holes or bumps. The drive from the DFW metroplex to Oklahoma is quite scenic despite road construction near McKinney TX. For your convenience, I will break down travel, casino and Gilley’s. Today, I actually traveled to Choctaw Casino in Durant Oklahoma.
