Your Starting Point Is Fixed; the Casino's Coordinates Are Not
The straight-line distance from Oklahoma City to Devol, Oklahoma, the city where Kiowa Casino is documented, is 106.8 miles. That figure is a great-circle measurement between city centers, not a road distance. Road distance is always longer, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time for any route.
If you are searching from a phone or asking a voice assistant, the phrase "from me" cannot be resolved to a coordinate. The venue's position is fixed; your position is not. The useful move is to compare your own location against the reference cities documented below, then measure the remaining gap yourself.
What the Location Record Shows
Kiowa Casino is documented in the Wikipedia list of casinos for Oklahoma as a Native American venue in Devol, Cotton County, Oklahoma. The list records the city, county, state, and type, and nothing else. The city of Devol has published coordinates of 34.19527778 north latitude and 98.58833333 west longitude. The property itself does not have a separate published coordinate in the source used here.
Because the coordinate belongs to the city, every distance in this article is measured from the city center of Devol, not from the casino building. A venue can sit anywhere within or near a small incorporated place, so the final mile or two between the city reference point and the parking lot is not captured by these figures.
Documented Straight-Line Distances from Devol, Oklahoma
The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance from Devol is available in the source data. All values are straight-line measurements, not driving distances. None of these numbers should be read as a road trip length.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma City | 106.8 | great-circle |
| Denton, TX | 107.7 | great-circle |
| Arlington, TX | 133.2 | great-circle |
| Dallas | 141.7 | great-circle |
| Tulsa | 200.8 | great-circle |
| Shreveport | 301.5 | great-circle |
| San Antonio | 329.6 | great-circle |
| San Antonio, Texas | 329.6 | great-circle |
| Houston | 360.1 | great-circle |
| Houston, Texas | 360.1 | great-circle |
| Topeka, Kansas | 370.8 | great-circle |
| Kansas City | 405.2 | great-circle |
If the city you are starting from is not in this table, this article cannot measure that specific pair. Do not estimate it from the nearest listed city. Instead, take Devol's coordinates and your own starting coordinates, and use any mapping tool to compute the great-circle distance yourself.
Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge
A great-circle line is the shortest path along the surface of a sphere between two points. It ignores everything on the ground. Road distance is built from the actual network of highways, county roads, and local streets that connect two places, and that network almost never follows the great-circle line.
Several factors push road miles above straight-line miles. Terrain forces roads around hills, ridges, or floodplains rather than through them. Water bodies require bridges or detours to a crossing point. Road networks follow historical settlement patterns, property lines, and county boundaries. Crossing a state line can add distance if the direct path would require a road that does not exist at the border.
For a venue in southwestern Oklahoma, the practical effect is that a trip from Dallas or Oklahoma City will involve a route that bends around or through a series of small towns rather than cutting across open country in a straight line. The difference between the great-circle number and the odometer reading is not a fixed percentage; it depends entirely on the specific origin and the available road segments.
Where Devol Sits in the Region
Devol is in Cotton County, in the southwestern part of Oklahoma. The coordinates place it south and west of Oklahoma City, and north and west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Relative to Tulsa, Devol is southwest. Relative to Houston, Devol is northwest, and relative to Kansas City, Devol is south and west.
Those directional statements are supported by the coordinate pairs alone. Oklahoma City sits northeast of Devol; Dallas sits southeast; Tulsa sits northeast at a greater distance; Houston sits southeast at a still greater distance; Kansas City sits northeast. The straight-line figures in the table give the scale of those relationships, but the compass direction is the only safe spatial claim beyond the numbers themselves.
How to Measure from Your Own Starting Point
If the keyword that brought you here includes "me" or "my location," this article cannot guess your city. Guessing a starting point would produce a false distance and a false sense of how far away the venue is. The correct method is to treat the venue's documented city coordinates as the fixed anchor and your own position as the variable.
Take the Devol coordinates, 34.19527778 north and 98.58833333 west, and compare them with your own coordinates or the name of your city. Any mapping service can compute a great-circle distance between two coordinate pairs. For road distance, use a routing tool and read the route length it returns. Do not convert the straight-line number into a driving estimate by adding a percentage; the two measurements are not related by a constant.
What to Confirm Before You Go
This article documents only the city, county, state, and venue type. It does not document the property's building footprint, entrance location, parking layout, or any facility figure such as machine count, table count, or floor area. Publicly published reference sources can be revised as properties are rebuilt or expanded, so treat the location record as a point-in-time snapshot.
Before traveling, confirm the venue's current operating status, entry requirements, and any access restrictions through the property's own published channels. The venue's own website or guest services line is the authoritative source for hours, policies, and any temporary changes. Do not rely on a third-party listing for same-day decisions.
