I am planning a big road trip for early May, as I have not been out and around hitting casinos for a long time, except for trips to Las Vegas and vicinity and three day weekends around here. I haven't been down to the state of Mississippi since '95, I figured that would be my main target. So far (and my plans are still in he middle of being fomed) I will be driving down through Indianapolis to the boats along the south edge of Indiana (where I have never been) on to Casino Azatar in SE Missouri, and down to Tunica, Lula, Greenville and Vicksburg, then east to Philadelphi, MS. That will be followed by a swing down to the Gulf Coast, and a trip into Louisiana for a sweep through there. Once I finish in Louisiana, I have to plan my route as I come back north, and hopefully I will have a chance to hit Missouri (both west and east) and maybe the indian casinos in the NE corner of Kansas. I have not been to the western half of Iowa in so long... But I fear I may draw out my trip too far and too long.

As I was checking stuff out, in wondering how to get from Western Louisiana to the places in Missouri, I happened to notice the listings in the Chipguide (a great place to get links to current casino web sites) the listings for Oklahoma Bingo Casinos and how they have slot machines. (How many -- hard to judge from what they say intheir web sites and the American Casino Guide, my other good info source, doesn't even list any gaming in Oklahoma.) One site - which I give you a link to - even mentions a VIP Players Club and shows a sample card. Anybody ever seen these? Are they regular plastic player's cards? If so, I would be tempted to swing up through Tulsa if I was going from Shreveport to Kansas City. (Shreveport - Tulsa - Kansas City is not that bad a route, anyway.) The Cherokee Casino near Tulsa also mentions a player's Club in their web site. Before I make my plans about my trip, does anybody know anything about these Oklahoma locations and their player's clubs?
