Hotel Capacity And Guest Amenities Lead The Plan

The biggest change comes on the hotel side. Choctaw Casino & Resort Pocola plans to add a seven story tower with 130 guest rooms, including premium suites. The resort will also upgrade 118 current hotel rooms with new furnishings, lighting, flooring, and bathroom features.

Guests will also get a resort style pool with private cabanas and an outdoor bar. A full service spa, 24 hour fitness center, and new coffee and tea bar will add more non gaming options to the property.

General Manager Christy Chaser said:

“We’re excited to share our latest expansion and renovation project with our guests and the community. This investment not only transforms our property by doubling our hotel capacity and introducing contemporary, elevated amenities, but also reflects our ongoing commitment to the people and businesses here.”

Casino Floor And Dining Areas Also Get Upgrades

The project reaches beyond the hotel. Choctaw Casino & Resort Pocola will refresh the casino floor, registration areas, and restrooms with new lighting and finishes. The poker room, off track betting area, and rewards club will also move into upgraded spaces.

Restaurants and bars across the property will get new branding, updated menus, and more craft cocktail options. The resort already features a large casino floor, several dining venues, a hotel, and more than 7,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton said the project will deepen the resort role in LeFlore County.

“Choctaw has long been a proud part of this region, growing alongside the community and contributing to its vitality and success,” he said.

Batton added:

“As the largest employer in LeFlore County and the second largest resort in the Choctaw Casinos & Resort portfolio, Choctaw – Pocola plays a vital role in driving economic growth and opportunity in this region. This investment will allow us to welcome more guests while delivering an even higher level of hospitality and resort experience.”

Choctaw Casino & Resort Pocola opened in 1994 as a bingo hall and has grown into a major gaming and entertainment destination for Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.

Tutor Perini Construction and JCJ Architecture will work on the development. An official ceremony to begin construction is expected later in the fall.
