A visit to the Cherokee Casino at least once a year is a tradition for many Sallisaw citizens. Whether you’re an avid gambler or not, a trip to this casino is an exciting time for all. Here are a few things you should know to plan a great hour or two at the Cherokee Casino.
The Casino
The Cherokee Casino is one of Sallisaw’s claims to fame, attracting visitors from all around Oklahoma and the surrounding states. The Cherokee’s most obvious draws are the many games gamblers can play. If you’re interested in electronic games, you’ll find plenty to play here. From classic reel slots to video poker, you’re sure to find something that fits your style here. There are over 250 games to choose from. You’ll also find an off-track betting station here if you want to sit down with a drink and watch some races.
Be sure to sign up for the One Star Rewards Club program that gives you special deals when you visit. Swipe your card to track the points you earn with each visit. You may also be able to play special kiosk games for a chance to win cash prizes and gift items. The casino holds special events throughout the year where you can enter for a chance to win everything from cars and riding lawnmowers to ceramic measuring cups and more.
The Food
To stay fueled during your casino adventure, be sure to take advantage of the dining options the Cherokee Casino offers. Head to the Back 40 Bar & Grill to find great American bar-style lunch and dinner options that are sure to hit the spot for any appetite. Try one of the sandwiches, such as the Ribeye Philly cheesesteak, the Reuben, or the spicy chicken sandwich. If you’re in the mood for burgers, try the barbecue-topped Oklahoma Burger or the West Coast Burger with chipotle sauce, bacon, and avocado. For dinner, choose the fried catfish on Friday or the country-fried chicken tenders and gravy.
Be sure to check in with the restaurant about the deals they have throughout the week and year. You just might find a deal — such as $10 half-rack rib Mondays — that will make you pay a visit to the casino and never touch a slot machine.
Entertainment
You don’t have to spend your whole time at Cherokee Casino gambling. Take your winnings (or the rest of your pride) to the bar portion of the Back 40 restaurant to enjoy some live music and dancing that take to the stage many weekends. You never know what kind of music you’ll find: 70s hits, country duos, and more entertain guests who want the party to continue into the night.
Whether you’re giving yourself some quality “me time” or heading out with friends or family, spending a weekend day at the Cherokee Casino in Sallisaw is a sure-fire way to find a good time. Plan your weekend out so that you can enjoy yourself safely at the casino.
