Oklahoma Tribes Extend Casino Closures

Oklahoma casinos operated by the Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw and Muscogee (Creek) nations will remain shuttered at least until May 15, tribal officials said, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 130 casinos owned by Oklahoma's 35-plus tribes closed in March and will reopen according to the determination of each tribal government. Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby (l.) said the nation’s travel plaza’s will remain open.
