DURANT, OK – As part of an ongoing refresh, Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant’s Grand Casino will transition to a non-smoking environment, making the casino one of the largest non-smoking casino floors in the U.S.
The Grand Casino’s update began in January 2026 and will be completed in six phases with a target completion date of late spring 2026. The updates include new carpet, walkways and lighting to give the casino a modern look. During the refresh, guests will be directed to use different pathways to navigate the gaming floor. Games will also move throughout the process as different areas are being worked on, including table games shifting to the south side of the Grand Casino floor.
Over the coming months, as each phase is completed, the Grand Casino will transition to a non-smoking environment. The first remodeled phase reopened on Feb. 13. Once all phases are complete, there will be 5,400 slots and 83 table games located in non-smoking areas.
The update comes two years after the completion of the Grand Tower’s refresh, which included updates to all 329 guest rooms and 18 suites.
