Kiowa casino opens doors

DEVOL, Oklahoma -- As reported by the Times Record News: "In true Las Vegas fashion - complete with celebrity impersonators, showgirls and Playboy Playmates - the sparkling Kiowa Casino threw open its doors Wednesday to a rush of people in pursuit of filling their pockets with cash.

"As quickly as the doors to the new gaming facility opened, a massive crowd of gamblers pushed and shoved their way in, filling virtually every slot machine and most card tables on the 63,000-square-foot gaming floor within minutes.

"Hundreds more were stacked up at the entry - and a 3-mile-long line of vehicles slowly navigated the two-lane state highway in hopes of finding a parking place. One early arrival said the highway was packed two hours before the opening.

"...The casino, a multimillion project, boasts more than 900 slot machines. It has about two dozen tables of blackjack, Spanish 21 and three-card poker and has a 10-table poker room, showcasing No Limit Texas Hold 'Em and other poker games.

"...The casino will hold a fireworks 'extravaganza' Sunday at dark."
