The property is operated by the Eastern Shoshone Tribe of the Wind River Reservation. Business Council Chairman Vernon Hill said, “This has been a difficult process for the Eastern Shoshone Business Council but we will do everything we can to bring back these jobs once the casino stabilizes.”
Casino advisors RTC Gaming Consulting made the recommendations to the tribe after studying its operations. The goal is to increase revenue and lower costs, plus use part of the savings toward marketing.
Opened in 2007, the had a $30-million upgrade in 2015, adding a hotel, restaurants and additional gaming area.
