All the 25 cent games are at least one notch below the $1 or 50 cent games on the progressive banks

Choctaw started in September combining all their casinos (8 of then spread out over south east, OK) so that one card could be used in any of them instead of separate cards for each casino. Unknown how this may eventually affect ongoing bounce back cash. They also changed their point structure. Instead of $20 in for 1 point at VP it is now $2 in for 1 point, but this change does not affect the rate. It used to take 100 points for $1 in point play, but now it is 1000 points for $1 in point play. The rate is still .05%. It has a North Casino and a South casino (they are connected). The North casino has the most number of progressive VP machines arranged on the outside wall of the high limit area. The different banks have about 16 machines each. On one side there is a JOB bank where the royal, SF and 4 of a kinds are all progressive. Only the $1 has 9/6 jacks. The .50 and .25 denominations are 9/5. The DDB bank on the same side as JOB is 9/5 with royal and the 4 of a kinds all progressive. The other side of the high limit area has a multi-game bank where there is JOB (9/6), BPD (9/6), NSUD (16/10), BP (8/5), DB (9/7)and DDB (9/6). The royal is progressive in all of them. These are the paytables at $1 and .50. The .25 game have lower returns. Also on the other side is a DB bank with 9/7 at $1 and .50 with the royal and 4 of a kinds all progressive. There is a bar between the North and South casinos by the swimming pool. It is not open all the time. It has 10 multi-game machines with a progressive royal at least FP at the $1 level. The South casino has the area they call "The District". The District is a non-smoking area with a bowling alley, movie theater, laser tag, slot machines and a variety of restaurants. The bar in there has 10 multi-game machines with FP and a progressive royal. There are other VP machines scattered around the casino. Never counted all of them lately, since I am only interested in the progressive ones, but I would not be surprised that there is close to 150 VP machines in the casino. The Durant casino has continued to expand from a couple of tents with only slot machines in the early 2000's to a very large casino. It varies but they have about 4000 total machines, 2 hotel towers and a couple of motels. I think it was 2004 when casinos could have table games in Oklahoma. I don't play table games since they charge a .50 cent ante to make a bet at the table games. Choctaw Durant and Winstar in Thackerville are the closest 2 casino the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Winstar advertises itself as the world biggest casino. I do not know how they determine that, but it has about 7000 total machines. It is very large. I have not been there for a few years, but it did not have as many progressive VP machines as Durant. Choctaw Durant may have as many, if not more, progressive (full pay) VP machines as any casino in the US.

All total the casino has 128 VP machines as of this date. Many of them have progressive royals.

The 18 machines are also progressive full pay at 50 level

The 9/5 DDB game is progressive for Royal and all 4 of a kind combinations

All total there are 46 machines on walls on the outside walls around the high limit area. 10 of the machines are JOB 9/6 progressive Royal, SF and 4 of a kind for $1. They are also progressive for 25 cents and 50 cents, but the pay table is 7/5 and 8/5. 18 machines with the 6 games that are progressive for $1 just for the royal. 18 machines that have the DDB progressive $1 and the royal and all four of kinds are progressive. also progressive for 25 cents and 50 cents, but the game is really bad.

The machines in the old part of the casino in front of the stage have been removed.

The new casino portion has 10 machine with FP JOB and the Royal, SF and 4 of a kind are progressive.

New cash back rate effective 5/10, $10.00 to get a point, 100 points = $1 = .1% --- 15 machines against wall right of stage DDB (9/6, 98.98%), $1, progressive for royal and 4 ACEs, 4 Aces with kicker, Four 2-4 and Four 2-4 with kicker, (9/5) paytable at 25/50. Also the machines have 9/6 JOB, but not progressive--- 8 machines right of stage, Progressive, The same games as the other 8 progressive machines previously reported in Jan 2009 are still there.

The bank of 8 machines in front of the stage are progressive royal. At the $1 level they have 9/6 JOB and White Hot Aces (99.57) and BP 8/5 (99.17), 9/6 DB, 9/6 DDB and (98.9) DW. The pay schedule at 25/50 cent level is not good JOB was 8/5 and it was probably best of the bunch. They have .2% cash back so the progressive machines can be a good play at the $1 level. They actually have quite a few VP machines all of them are slant tops. I didn't count them, but there is probably close to 50 machines. The majority of them are in the wing with the stage and the poker room. I looked at a few of the non-progressive machines at the $1 level. The JOB varied some had 9/6 others had 8/6. So if you are going to play it would be at the progressive bank. The casino did have a bank of 8 upright machines last fall. I can't find them. It is possible they moved them to the Bingo casino next door (shuttles go back and forth). If they did move them over there, one machine (at the $1 level) in the bank had 10/6 DDB where the SF is cut to 40 (a 99.9 game).

They now have a card system. $5 in is 1 point, so $500 is 100 points. Cashback is $1 per 100 points which comes to .2%. I don't know about mailouts, since I just signed up for a card. They did have a 10/6 DDB game where the SF was reduced to 40 (a 99.9 game), but I could not find the one machine that it used to be on.

They now have 9/6 JOB progressive at the $1 level. It is 8/5 at the 25/50 cent level. 8 machines in front of stage. I was there 12/27.

The new machines just outside the poker room have 8/5 JoB in $0.25 and $0.50 which improved to 8/6 at $1. The double bonus was 9/6 for all denoms I believe.
