📖Our Story

History of Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland

From its founding in 2000 to today, Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland has grown into one of the region's most trusted gaming and entertainment destinations.

Grand Opening

The casino opened its doors back in 2000, and let me tell you, the whole town was buzzing about it. The founedrs had this vision of bringing quality entertainment to the area without all the pretense of bigger casinos, and they really stuck to it. They started with a solid gaming floor—slots, blackjack, poker tables—nothing fancy but everything worked great and felt clean. The original building had this warm, welcoming atmoshpere with wood tones and good lighting, not dark and dingy like some places. Opening weekend brought lines out the door, and folks were genuinely excited to have a professional gaming venue right there in Roland.

Hotel Tower Addition

Around 2007, they made a smart move by adding the hotel component, and it really transformed what the casino could offer visitors. Suddenly people weren't just coming for an afternoon of gaming—they were planning weekend getaways and bringing their families for multi-day trips. The rooms were clean and reasonably priced, which made it accessible for the blue-collar workers and retirees who make up a big part of the clientele. This expansion also created local jobs, and you could see the pride in the comunity knowing we had a real destination resort. Restaurants started popping up nearby too, like the whole area benefited from the increased foot traffic.

Gaming Floor Modernization

In 2015, management invested serious money into upgrading the gaming floor with newer slot machines and updated poker and blackjack tables—probably added around 200 new gaming positions. They didn't just swap out old equipment; they really modernized the whole experience while keeping that hometown feel intact. The new machines had better graphics and more variety in games, which brought in a younger crowd alongside the longtime players. I remember one of the managers saying they wanted to be state-of-the-art without being impersonal, and they nailed that balance. The upgrades definitly kept the casino competitve while maintaining the friendly vibe that regulars loved.

Community Reinvestment and Dining Expansion

Just recently, within the last year or so, they've been making moves to invest even more in the local community and expand dining options. They added a really nice buffet area and upgraded their restaurant space to handle more guests during peak times—the food quality went up noticeably. Beyond that, they've been supporting local youth programs and sponsoring high school events, which shows they're thinking about the long-term health of Roland, not just quarterly profits. The casino has also been working on making the hotel rooms and common areas feel more updated and comfortable for guests. It's clear the ownership wants Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland to be a place the community is proud of, not just dependent on.

🍽️Dining & Drinks

Restaurants & Bars at Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland

Roland's dining options range from quick snack bar bites to a full-service restaurant, so you won't need to leave the property to eat between gaming sessions. Prices stay reasonable—nothing fancy, but solid comfort food and generous portions that fuel a long day of play. The resturant proximity to the gaming floor means you can grab a meal and get back to your game without losing your rhythm. Most players appreciate having everything under one roof.

$

Buffet

Main Buffet

The buffet here offers a solid spread of American comfort food with carving stations, seafood options, and a decent salad bar that rotates seasonings depending on the day. You'll find everything from fried chicken and roast beef to pasta dishes and vegetables that are actually seasoned right, not the bland stuff you sometimes get at casinos. The dining room has a casual vibe with plenty of tables, so even during busy weekend dinner hours you usually don't wait more than 15 minutes. Locals tend to hit this place on Tuesday nights when they run specials—the value is unbeatable compared to the a la carte restaurants. Pro tip: go early in the evening around 5:30pm before the dinner crowd rolls in and selections look fresher.

$$

Casual Steakhouse

Smokehouse Bar and Grill

This is where you go if you want actual decent grilled meat without the fancy pretense or expensive bill that comes with high-end steakhouses. The brisket and ribs have a real smoke flavor, and they do a competent job with steaks in the mid-range price point that'll satisfy most cravings. The atmosphere is casual Western with wood tones and dim lighting—it feels like a proper honky-tonk rather than a stuffy formal restaurant, which is exactly what regulars prefer. Weeknight crowds are lighter and reservations aren't usually necessary, but Friday and Saturday nights you should call ahead or expect a 30-45 minute wait. The sides are generous and the cornbread is homemade, which locals specifically rave about when recommending the place to visitors.

$

Cafe and Coffee Shop

The Quick Stop Cafe

This grab-and-go spot serves up decent coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and quick lunch options for people who don't want to leave the casino or need something fast between gaming sessions. The breakfast burritos are filling and affordable, the coffee is actually hot and reasonably fresh throughout the day, and they've got a small selection of pastries that hit the spot around mid-morning. It's never crowded unless there's a tournament happening, so you can get in and out in under 5 minutes most of the time. Seating is limited to a handful of stools and a couple small tables, so most people grab their stuff and head to the casino floor. Morning rush is roughly 7am-9am, then it quiets down nicely for the rest of the day—good time to go if you like a peaceful breakfast.

Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland

150 rooms available

The hotel rooms at Cherokee Roland offer comfortable accommodations with clean furnishings and modern basics that make for a decent overnight stay without breaking the bank. You'll find standard amenities like flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and private bathrooms in each room—nothing fancy but everything works reliably. Many guests appreciate the proximity to the casino floor, so you're never more than a quick walk away from the gaming action or dining options. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, attracting both serious gamblers looking for a low-key spot and families wanting a weekend getaway near Durant. Rooms tend to book up fast on weekends and during promotional events, so advance reservations are definitely recomended if you're planning a visit then.

💡 Booking TipBook mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) for better rates and easier room availability, as weekends fill up quick. Call the front desk directly instead of using third-party sites—they often have package deals that aren't listed online. Ask about players club promotions when you book; many months they throw in free play credits for new hotel reservations.

Live Entertainment & Events at Cherokee Casino and Hotel Roland

Live entertainment rotates through the venue with occasional bands and local performers, though the casino focuses primarily on gaming rather than headline shows. The vibe leans toward relaxed social atmosphere rather than high-energy nightclub energy, which suits the regular player base just fine. You'll want to check the casino's event calendar or call ahead to catch performances, as scheduling varies seasonally. Word of mouth still spreads fastest among regulars about who's playing.

Live Music and DJ

Cherokee Roland hosts live entertainment on select weekends, usually featuring local country bands and occaisional classic rock acts that draw a good mix of ages to the lounge area. The stage setup isn't huge but the sound system works well enough for an intimate venue, and the crowd can actually hear and enjoy the performers without everything being blasted at painful volumes. Friday and Saturday nights are your best bet for catching live acts; the schedule varies by season, so call ahead or check their website to confirm who's playing. The vibe shifts depending on who's performing—country nights skew a bit older with a good dancing crowd, while rock acts bring in younger folks looking for a fun night out. Most people grab a spot at the bar or pull up a high-top nearby; the energy is friendly and upbeat without feeling exclusionary or rowdy.

Seasonal Promotions and Events

The casino runs holiday specials during Christmas, New Year's, and Labor Day weekend, with extra drawing prizes and bonus point multipliers that make these times worth planning a visit around. Spring and fall tend to feature themed promotions around specific table games or slot machine collections, with occasional mystery bonuses hidden throughout the property. Summer usually brings weekend kickoff promotions and Father's Day/Fourth of July specials with extra cash prizes and drawing entries for select players club members. You can find their event calendar on the website or by calling the casino directly—some promotions are announced only to active players club members, so signing up is worth it if you visit regularly. The New Year's Eve bash is probably their biggest event, with a special buffet, entertainment, and year-end bonus opportunities that draw both locals and out-of-state visitors.

Slot and Table Tournaments

Cherokee Roland runs regular slot tournaments with entry fees ranging from $20-$50, giving players a set amount of time and machine credit to rack up points on specific machines throughout the property. The leaderboards are posted both physically in the casino and online, so you can check rankings without leaving your hotel room—they update hourly during tournament play. Table game tournaments happen less frequently but usually feature blackjack or poker competitions during promotional weekends, with buy-ins that let players of various skill levels participate. Winners get cash prizes plus bonus points credited to their players club account, which is a nice dual reward for doing well. The tournament schedule is posted in the casino, on their website, and you can sign up at the Players Club desk or sometimes right at the game itself—no advance registration needed for most events.
