The hotel and pool, along with other amenities, will open on Friday. All of the Choctaw’s six other casinos and resorts in Oklahoma will open on Monday June 1 at 10 a.m.

The now-standard health and safety protocols for reopening are in place in Durant: disinfectant wipes and sanitation stations throughout the property; reduced capacity, including at slots and table games; acrylic panels installed at transaction areas; and mask aren’t mandatory, but suggested. Wellness checks will be required for all employees returning to work.
