In 2010, the Oklahoma City Region recorded the second highest growth rate of the seven NIGC regions. During 2010, the region generated $1.6 billion in gaming revenues, which was an increase of 4.9%, or $73.4 million, when compared to 2009.

• The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes are constructing a new casino in Hammon, Oklahoma. This will be the tribes’ fifth casino. • The Chickasaw Nation will be adding a new hotel tower to its WinStar World Casino. The new hotel tower will add 500 upscale guest rooms and is expected to be completed by the summer 2013. The Nation is also developing a new casino, The Salt Creek Casino, which will be located in Grady County on a 190 acre site. In the state of Texas, only the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas is authorized to operate a casino. The tribe’s Lucky Eagle Casino, located along the Rio Grande, 150 miles southwest of San Antonio, is limited to Class II gaming. In June 2011, the tribe announced that it would expand its facility and build a 250 room hotel. The $90 million improvement project is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2013. The expansion comes amidst continued debate on the expansion of commercial gaming in Texas.

In 2010, the Oklahoma City Region’s 51 casinos, operated by 19 tribes (18 in Western Oklahoma and 1 in Texas), represented 12.1% of all casino operations; however, the region only generated 6.0% of the total Indian gaming revenues. Within Oklahoma, the tribes contribute to the state a portion of Class III gaming revenue for the exclusive right to offer gaming. In 2010, the three tribes located within the Oklahoma City Region which contributed the most state revenue contributions were the Chickasaw Nation ($33.3 million), Citizen Potawatomi ($5.5 million), and Otoe-Missouria ($5.0 million). When examining the state contribution data, growth is anticipated to continue in the years to come. In 2011, state contributions from tribes in the Oklahoma City Region increased by 4.8%. This high level of growth can be attributed to the continued development and expansion of Class III gaming facilities and the limited competition in neighboring states. Notable new facilities in the region for 2011 and developments for the future include the following: • The Red River Casino, owned by the Comanche Nation, underwent expansion and renovation during 2011 including a new restaurant. • The Otoe-Missouria tribe is currently completing a renovation project to the 7-Clans Paradise Casino in Red Rock. The renovation is expected to be completed in March 2012 and will include 24,000 square-feet of gaming floor.
