When I pulled up to this casino I did a double take. I hadn't done any research before my arrival. This is one big casino/hotel. Thackerville, Oklahoma is 80 miles up the interstate from Dallas/Fort Worth, the target market. It is about a mile and a half from one end of the facility to the other. This is a very modern casino. Sections are named after famous towns around the world. They have 7400 machines and bill themselves as the largest casino in the world. See the link for the map of the casino.

What I found doesn't interest me much but it might interest some of you. The London section is in the upper right next to the hotel on the map. There is a slot club booth sitting right there. You get $25 freeplay for signing up for the card. You will find a circular bar in the middle of the casino floor next to the slot club booth. There are 18 bartop machines that have video poker progressives in 50 cent and $1 denoms. You have your choice of 5 games but they are all on the same .5% meter:
9/6 Jacks
8/5 Bonus
9/7 Double
9/6 Double Double
NSUD
When I was there the $1 royal was at $4100 and the 50 cent royal was at $2540. So the value bet was the 50 cent NSUD with the $2540 royal.
The card is pretty stingy. It takes a $30 wager to get 1 point; and 100 points to get 1 rewards dollar. That's like a third of a tenth of a percent. For the slots it takes a $10 wager to get a point.
The Madrid section has the same bartop progressive setup with a dozen machines so you have your choice of which bank to play.
There are many restaurants to choose from which you can peruse on their website. I took a snapshot of their buffet prices. If you are 50 or older and have the slot card you get a free breakfast buffet on Wednesdays and Thursdays. See the link for the rest of their prices:

The hotel rates run from $99 midweek to $169-$249 weekends. Plus their is a $10.70 resort fee. If you are driving you can get a much better hotel deal at Ardmore, 30 miles up the interstate.
For a complete list of their amenities you can view their website.
