Ground will be broken later this spring for the Golden Mesa Casino in Guymon, Oklahoma. The 42,000 square foot entertainment facility will be the first of its type in the Oklahoma Panhandle and is expected to have an annual economic impact of $33.8 million for Texas County, officials said.
The tribe and its partner, Global Gaming Solutions, recently took an important step toward making the casino a reality by signing a deed placing 107 acres into federal trust. At the signing ceremony at the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Anadarko, Shawnee Chief Ron Sparkman said, “Today signifies an important advancement toward a project that will have a strong, positive economic impact on Texas County. We appreciate the Bureau’s discernment and care throughout this process. Along with our partners at Global Gaming Solutions, we look forward with great anticipation to becoming a member of the Panhandle community.”
Global Gaming Solutions Chief Executive Officer Skip Seeley added, “We are pleased to complete this next phase in the process of bringing the Golden Mesa Casino project to fruition. We look forward to beginning construction and to bringing new jobs and economic diversification to the Oklahoma Panhandle.”
