Native Lights Casino

 

This casino opened in July of 2006 as J. H. said it is 15 minutes closer to Wichita, than the Southwind Casino in Newkirk. 

 

From the highway the building looks moderately sized.  Tiny by Las Vegas standards, Medium to big compared to other Oklahoma Casino’s.  It is new, modern, clean and will, on that basis alone, steal customers away from the Kaw casino.

I wanted to let you know about some changes for Native Lights Casino. As of Oct. 1, they no longer offer any type of poker. I asked about the sudden departure, and they just told me it would be at least a few months if ever. No reasons given. Odd, but that's what they are sticking by. Just thought I would share that with fellow players before making that hour drive. (Kaw has taken up the slack and usually has 3-5 tables going. )

Native Lights casino is a very small casino.  They have 2 poker tables.  1 4-8 limit table that is hard to get a game going on and the other is of course 1-2 no limit which at times will be running on both tables.  You can usually find the 1-2 NL game going at all hours of the night.  I know of one person that played there 30 hours straight.  As far as stealing customers from Kaw, they certainly didn't steal me.  Kaw has their new expanded poker room with more tables.  They usually get the 1-2 NL game started first and the 3-6 game gets going most of the time a little later in the evening.  Starting this week they have nightly multi-table tournaments.  $30 buy-in for most other than a few $50 buy-in and one $100 buy-in tourney.  They only setback Kaw has against Native Lights is the fact that they don't play 24/7.  They play 4p.m.- 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and open at 2 instead of 4 on Saturday and Sunday.

I passed the new Tonkawa Casino called Native Lights. It is just a couple of miles into Oklahoma, south of Arkansas City. It looks like it's ready to open. A police car was blocking the entrance so no one could drive into it. In the Kaw Casino, the patrons told me they are having a hard time finding water... we'll see. The metal building is huge. It will take alot of patrons away from KAW.

It would take 15 minutes off of the drive from Wichita.
