The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, the sole shareholder of S&K Gaming, recently announced a .4 million expansion at a new facility that will replace the Gray Wolf Peak Casino in Evaro, Montana will begin next year. In a press release, the tribe stated, “With this expansion, western Montana will receive better access to high quality gaming entertainment with payouts that regularly reach higher than 0,000,” adding the project will be the tribe’s “largest gaming expansion in history.”
The new 40,000 square foot facility will offer more gaming machines than the current casino, plus a 70-room hotel, spa, RV park, convenience store and an Eagle Bank outlet shopping center. Communications Director Robert McDonald noted, “This will add more than 140 job opportunities for people, which includes tribal members, people from other tribes or people from any walk of life. They hire anyone and everyone from who’s qualified.”
McDonald added, “Three feasibility studies have supported expansion at Gray Wolf to capture millions in untapped revenue.”
Gray Wolf gaming proceeds provide tribal services such as elder care, education, family support, cultural activities, language preservation and other essential services.
The tribe also announced a $4.6 million renovation at S&K Gaming’s KwaTaqNuk Resort in Polson, Montana is planned for 2015.
