The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe of Washington says its new casino is doing better than expected.
The 7,000-square-foot Elwha River Casino features 120 electronic gaming machines, a snack bar and gift shop. It opened in March and the tribe is already adding more machines to the facility.
"Things are going better than projected, especially since we are in a remote location,” marketing manager Joni Eades told Indian Country Today.
The tribe hopes to expand the casino but is waiting on the Bureau of Indian Affairs to approve a land-into-trust application for another site.
“If it becomes available sooner we certainly will be willing to move sooner,” Eades told ICT. “We’re filling up this footprint rather quickly.”
