DURANT — The Choctaw Nation plans to break ground this spring on a major expansion of its Durant casino and resort property that will more than double the number of guest rooms and create 1,000 jobs.

The gaming floor will be expanded and 1,000 guest rooms will be added to the 776 rooms that are currently available, said Kristina Humenesky, director of public relations for the Choctaw Casino and Resort.

Plans also include adding amenities such as new pools, a lazy river, parking garage retail space, a conference center and entertainment and food and beverage options, tribal officials said.

The casino and resort property currently has about 2,800 employees. It is located along U.S. 75 in Durant, about a 10-minute drive north of the Oklahoma-Texas border.

Humenesky declined to reveal the estimated cost of the project, but said more information should be provided at the ground breaking which is expected to take place in late spring 2019. The project is expected to take about 24 months to complete.

“More than 30 years ago our tribe had the vision to begin this expedition by purchasing the 50 acres that the resort resides on today,” said Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Chief Gary Batton. “We are elated to continue to grow with our community and improve the lives of our tribal and community members.'

This will be the fourth expansion project since the original casino opened in 2006, officials said.
