To pay special tribute to this, the casino’s main entrance features two oil derricks that represent the roots of the oil industry in the area. The oil boom is especially significant to the community of Ramona because the area’s first commercial oil well was drilled there even before Oklahoma became a state. To complete the project, products and expertise were supplied by Selser Schaefer Architects, Abbco Roofing, PAC-CLAD Petersen Aluminum and Valspar.
When Cherokee Nation Entertainment set out to build a new casino in Ramona, Oklahoma, it wanted an environment that both reflected the historic importance of oil drilling in the area and projected a sense of liveliness and fun that would help attract visitors.Ĭasino planners approved a design for a 10,000-square foot building that used 20,000 square feet of metal panels to create a curved exterior that represents the fluidity of oil and creates a vibrant, standout appearance from the nearby highway.
