The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians’ Seven Feathers Casino Resort is celebrating 25 years of gaming in Canyonville, Oregon.
The casino started as a bingo hall. Today the facilities, open 24/7, has hundreds of slots machines, gaming tables, a 300-room hotel, bars, dining, a convention center, and large RV park.
The casino is an engine that generates revenues for the tribal government to fund schools, housing and health care and creates well-paying jobs for the tribe and community. It also attracts a million tourists a year.
The tribe pays the state government 6 percent on casino profits and makes awards to non-profits in the seven nearest counties, having donated $16 million to non-profits over the past two decades.
