Negative: They Charge an 'Ante' of.50c per hand of blackjack. So if you're a $5 blackjack player you're going to loose 10% every hand, and that's 100% guaranteed! The casino is a mile and a half longand it is mostly 'new' slot machinesthe kind you need a manual and a PHD in accounting to figure out WHY you won or lost. In all Oklahoma Casinos THERE IS AN 'ANTE'!!!!! Unless they are running a promotion, you will be force by state law to pay an ante to the casino on every hand. The antes are typically 25 cents to 50 cents but you are paying that on every hand, win or lose. The payout on blackjack is typically only 6/5 in Oklahoma casinos as well.

Many Oklahoma casinos do not charge an ante. You might want to check the ones in your area to see if any offer ante-free play either all the time or under certain conditions (sometimes, if your bet is more than $x, or if you use a players card, or if it's Tuesday...).
It depends on how much you bet. if you're betting $5, the $0.50 ante adds 10% to the house edge. If you're betting $100, it adds 0.5% to the house edge.
It makes it enough for you to start thinking of saving up the money altogether and driving out of Oklahoma to get a better deal.How much does the $0.50 fee per hand 'ante' that Oklahoma casinos charge (you lose it win or lose) affect house edge?
Hands per hour divided by two. That's the obscene price to 'rent' that chair every hour. Don't do it!

I recommend you don't do either one.I would drive a stake through my penis before I would pay $0.50 to play each round.

Lmao..ouch!!!

While I don't object quite as vehemently as Keyser (:-)), I do strongly agree that you avoid playing at casinos that charge this ridiculous fee. That's, what, $30 dollars you're already behind for an hour of play at an average BJ table (assuming 60 hands per hour)?! No thanks. In my experience, many Oklahoma casinos charge this fee and I plain old refuse to play there (Oklahoma) on principle! Go east (Louisiana) or west (New Mexico) for fairer gaming, if possible.
One member mentioned that you can check ahead of time whether the particular casino you are looking at charges the ante. That's good advice as you may find some exceptions, but I still refuse to go to any of those places, again on principle.
Oklahoma seems to have some pretty peculiar gambling laws - they also don't have regular craps games played solely with dice. Gotta play with cards and cards determine the outcome of the 'roll.' Takes the fun out of craps, in my opinion.
Anybody have any inisight into whether Oklahoma has considered revising its rules to be more closely aligned with the rest of the gambling world?

Oklahoma is very closely aligned with California...does that count? They're also pretty close to Minnesota.

I wish Oklahoma's handling of the ante was more uniform. Places that charge it to customers are among the worst places to play in the country. But, places that do not charge it to customers are among the best places to play. UTH generally has 9/7 trips, 3CP generally has 6/4 pair plus, blackjack rules are solid average to above-average. But, finding a blackjack game with a 0.4ish% HE is only good if there isn't also a $0.50/hand fee.I think Kansas Star is the closest non-Oklahoma casino to the state. It's run by asshats, and the rules are worse than in OK, but there's no ante.
My memory of the situation within OK is fading, but I know Downstream waived the ante with a players card and bet of at least $10. I think Kiowa had no fee no matter what. and one other casino had what were basically ante happy-hours where there was no ante from 4-7 on some days.

WinStar World Casino and Resort is an American tribal casino and hotel located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, near the Oklahoma–Texas state line. It is owned and operated by the Chickasaw Nation. The casino opened as the WinStar Casinos in 2004, and was expanded (with a 395-room hotel tower) and renamed WinStar World Casino in 2009; its 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of casino floor made it the world's largest casino.[2] In August 2013, WinStar Resorts completed a major expansion project, which added a new 1000-room second hotel tower that was divided into two phases; this also added a new casino that is attached to the tower. As a result of the completion of this expansion, the casino overtook Foxwoods Resort Casino to become the largest casino in the United States and one of the largest in the world based on gaming floor space. WinStar has 8,500 electronic games, a 55-table poker room, 100 total table games, Racer's off-track betting,[3] high limit room, keno, and bingo.[4]
