Black Gold Casino is a Native American gaming syndicate operated and owned by the Chickasaw Nation in the state of Oklahoma.
[1] The casino establishment offers provisions by the adjoining Chickasaw Travel Stop (CTS) providing travel necessities and a cultural native Chickasaw smokeshop.
The casino architectural signage is illustrative of the early 20th century wooden drilling rig derrick once populating the south central Oklahoma landscape.
The black gold commodity was discovered in luxuriant abundance at the Healdton and Hewitt oilfields in Carter County, Oklahoma during the 1910s.
[3][4] The Healdton Oil Field Bunk House was built in 1923 as housing for boomchasers or wildcatter workers employed at the oil field lease sites.
