But in order to do that you have to have connectivity and communications.” - Mike Essig, Ph.D., Senior Director of IT for Choctaw Casinos. “All of our properties are together on one happy network. They were determined to find an alternative.
When Choctaw Casinos of Oklahoma built a casino in Wilburton, a small town in eastern Oklahoma, they discovered that no connection was available. While building the network they found that their current provider could not provide connectivity or was unreasonably expensive. At the time, they were committed to a reasonably priced, high-bandwidth solution provider. The Choctaw Casinos IT Team was tasked with building a data network that connected all of their casinos to their headquarters in Durant, Oklahoma. Locations include Durant, Grant, Pocola, McAlester, Stringtown, Stigler, Broken Bow, Idabel, Atoka, Wilburton, Poteau, and coming soon Antlers and Heavener. Choctaw Casinos’ is located in Southeastern Oklahoma, operating 8 casinos and 11 Travel Plaza casino too’s. Choctaw Casino Fiber to Business Implemented for Choctaw Casino by Dobson FiberĬhoctaw Casinos’ mission is to create an extraordinary experience for each guest, provide a fun and fulfilling environment for their associates, and add value to the Choctaw Nation and communities.
