DURANT, Okla. (Oct. 29, 2025) – On Wednesday night, Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant unveiled its newest gaming room featuring Huff N’ Puff, Mr. Money Bags and The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold™. The room is a collaboration between the resort, Aristocrat, Light & Wonder, and the Gaming Capital Group (GCG) to bring guests their favorite games in one space.

The gaming room, located in the Link Casino, boasts 104 games. Games in the room include The Hunt for the Secret Kingdom™, Hot Red Ruby Rakes in Riches™, Mr. Money Bags Makes a Mint™, HUFF N’ PUFF HIGHRISE™ and HUFF N’ EVEN MORE PUFF™.

“At GCG, our mission is to remain the very best partner to our gaming manufacturers and tribal partners,” said Melissa Cox, vice president of marketing and customer relations at GCG. “We were pleased to help successfully launch this gaming space at Choctaw Resort – Durant.”

One of the most popular game families, The Hunt for Neptune’s Gold™ follows a unique, comic book-like storyline where players follow character Jewel on her underwater quest at the bottom of the ocean. The game includes player-favorite Red Screen Free Spins where players can win up to 50,000 credits, as well as a diamond hunt for a pick ‘em bonus and a mine field that offers a mine selection credit bonus.

“Players across Oklahoma have a deep connection to our legacy VGT brands by Aristocrat Gaming, and the new Hunt for Neptune’s Gold-themed gaming space at Choctaw Resort – Durant brings that legacy to life in a bold new way,” said Kurt Gissane, chief revenue officer for Aristocrat Gaming. “With beloved characters like Jewel, Ruby, and Mr. Money Bags alongside the latest hits from Aristocrat, we’re thrilled to offer guests a dynamic gaming experience in one vibrant destination.”

HUFF N’ PUFF – WE’VE HAD ENUFF™ is taking over the COSMIC™ UPRIGHTcabinet in a twist on a fan favorite. The latest installment introduces the persistence feature, where players collect hard hats to build up reel frames and prep for the wolf’s next big blow. Buzzsaws activate the wheel feature, unleashing free games with taller reels, powerful upgrades, and high-energy action.

“We love how energetic and excited Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant is about this product and their players,” said Mike Owen, vice president of sales for Light & Wonder. “It’s great to be able to work with the resort and watch players light up, lean in, and escape into the experience; that’s what makes it so exciting.”

All four companies celebrated the opening of the gaming room with a ribbon cutting, mascots from Huff N’ Puff and Hunt for Neptune’s Gold, and free t-shirts.

“We are so excited to work with GCG, Aristocrat, and Light & Wonder to give guests an experiential room full of their favorite games,” said Erica Kosemund, executive director of brand and partnerships for Choctaw Casinos & Resorts. “This wouldn’t have been possible without their involvement, and we’re thrilled to continue working with them to provide our guests the best experiences possible.”
