The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its main gaming facility.

The Oneida Casino opened in December 1993 with slot machines and blackjack tables. Additional table games were added under a Class III gaming compact in 2003.

"Twenty years ago I was a sitting councilman here and watching this all unfold in front of us which was amazing," tribal member Ernie Stevens Jr. said at a ceremony yesterday, WBAY-TV reported.

The tribe completed a $28 million expansion of the facility last month.
