Casinos in Shawnee

Shawnee sits on Interstate 40 east of Oklahoma City, and five casinos run by four different tribes are spread around it. The Citizen Potawatomi Nation owns the two with hotels: Grand Casino Hotel & Resort at exit 178, a resort with a hotel tower of 14 stories, a poker room, a spa and an event center, and FireLake Casino, which opened in 2025 beside the new FireLake Hotel. The Black Hawk Casino (Sac and Fox Nation, at exit 186), Kickapoo Casino Shawnee (Kickapoo Tribe) and Thunderbird Casino Shawnee (Absentee Shawnee Tribe) are smaller local casinos without the resort extras.

How the ranking works. Venues are ordered by their Google rating, weighted by how many people left one: every rating is blended with a neutral 4.0 as if the venue had 200 more reviews at 4.0, so a 4.6 from thousands of reviews ranks above a 5.0 from a dozen. Sponsorship has no effect on the order. Ratings last checked October 2026.
