Cherokee Casino Grove OK review

Oklahoma is home to well over 100 casinos and racinos. Many are designed according to the fully-fledged resort model, but there are also lower-key options such as this Grove casino located in a town with a population of just 5,000. It is owned and operated by Cherokee Nation Entertainment LLC and stands on a 24-acre site near Highway 59 at a place known locally as Tom Cat Corner. With 39,000 square feet of gaming floor, it is a substantial venue; without hotel amenities, its focus is on the casino that is open from 8 am every day, closing at 2 am and 3 am on Friday and Saturday. The minimum gambling age is 21 and it is one of 11 casinos owned by the Cherokee Nation.

Slots & casino games

Although there are no table, dice or lottery games and no Cherokee Casino Grove poker room, there are approximately 400 slot machines to choose from, many of which are familiar from the free slots found online. Popular slots include Spartacus Gladiator of Rome, Lazer Lock Ice Sapphire, Colossal Wizards, and Queen of the Wild II. The machines are connected to multi-level jackpot systems and are operated by smartcard.

Features and amenities

Aside from the extensive range of slot machines on the casino floor, there is a restaurant with an extensive menu of American favorites and regular entertainment from local performers and up-and-coming acts in the 1897 Bar. In the casino, there is a spacious lounge with seven large TV screens showing sporting events of all kinds.

Dining

The Grove Springs restaurant serves steaks, chicken, burgers and seafood from the grill, alongside soups, salads, sandwiches, sides and desserts.

Accommodation

There is no Cherokee Casino Grove hotel; however, other venues in the Cherokee Nation Group have accommodation, so you can stay at the Cherokee Casino hotels in West Siloam Springs and Roland or at the Hard Rock in Tulsa.

Promotions

The Cherokee Casino Grove holds regular promotions such as Payday Party events, $7,500 Thursday Thousands, and $5,000 Wednesday Windfalls.

Loyalty program

The One Star Rewards scheme is free to join and features four levels: vinyl, gold, platinum and multi-platinum. With just 200 slot points you can move to the second level. The more you earn, the higher you rise, with opportunities to win luxury holidays and huge cash prizes. Points can be earned and redeemed at any Cherokee Nation Entertainment venue.

This casino has only been open since 2017 but has established itself as a favorite destination for locals and visitors looking for gaming fun, good food, and a great night out. Relatively modest in size, it still has something for everyone.
