Does Winstar Casino Have Roulette Tables
I guess it's easier to rebuild after a tornado.
WinStar is the closest casino to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, at 70 miles, and right on I-35. They also have the RiverWind Casino just on the south bank of the Canadian River in Norman, which happens to be the south edge of the Oklahoma City metro area on I-35. The casino area reportedly offers more than 7,000 machines and almost 100 table games, including crowd-pleasers and traditional favorites like Blackjack and roulette.
If that's the case, I understand. If not WOW!
Why do they take an ante?
I believe it was an agreement with the state and that all antes went directly there. Casinos have waived the ante upon presentation of a player's card or as a promotion but they still have pay the state.

so the state gets ante and casinos take the HA?so the state gets ante and casinos take the HA?
Another story was that all antes collected were to be returned to players in the form of promotions. What could go wrong there?
No one has ever recalled being given anything under those conditions.

Winstar is a great casino with several thousand slot machines and many different table games. They do charge the 50 cents per hand on table games which is a bit annoying since it is in no way an Oklahoma law or required by the state. The money does NOT go to the state for education as you will be told by the people at the casino. There are several casinos in Oklahoma, mainly around Oklahoma City, that do not charge this ante. The ante is nothing more than pure profit for the casinos in Oklahoma. Supposedly it pays for the various promotions offered by the casinos...
Supposedly it pays for the various promotions offered by the casinos. If they actually do use it for various promotions, that's a very good thing. If the state actually required them to do so. I'm all for it.Does Winstar Casino Have Roulette Tables 2020
Card games (poker, texas hold'em etc) and table games (blackjack, 3 card poker, ultimate texas hold'em, pai gow etc) in Oklahoma indian casinos are compacted games, and are the only games approved for play in the state at this time, that's why we don't have dice or roulet games etc as those are true class III games not covered in the compact agreement.
Compacted gaming means the tribe has signed a gaming compact with the state in which they pay from between 4% to 20% of their gross net depending on amount made from compacted card/table games and slot machines (aka class III slots , non server based electronic instant bingo style bingo games), (class II slots are server based electronic bonanza style bingo games and are not compacted games).
So compacted indian casino table/card games are not true class III games in the classic Vegas casino style in which the patron is playing for the house's money,
But instead they are player backed games, in which the chips you see in the table tray belongs to the players (it's what the players have lost durning the course of play),
Hence is the reason you see the posted 'player's pool amount' somewhere on the casino floor in a prominent location; (if you've never seen it, then ask the pitboss next time what the player's pool amount is for that day).
Since the amount in a player's pool is not the casino's funds, it constitutes a liability to the casino and has to be returned to the players through promos, daily play, tournements, comps etc to the table/card players,
The casino is allowed to take 10% of the total pool amount for maintenece fees, expenses, advertizing etc.
So, to answer your question, the $.50/hand commission is what the house makes from the play of cards/table games, with that they pay their dealers wages, pit bosses/floor workers wages, uniforms etc. and if they've dealt enough hands to cover that, then the rest is profit.'
