The Navajo Nation sees $80 million in revenues at its four gaming facilities, Indian Country Today reported.

The tribe operates Class II and Class III facilities in New Mexico and Arizona. The flagship operation, Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort in Arizona, turns two years old in May.

“We did have our challenges at Twin Arrows, but I was able to report to our new Navajo Council that we broke even in 2014, and are looking optimistically at 2015,” Derrick Watchman, a tribal member who serves as CEO of the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise, told ICT.

Watchman said he continues to look for growth opportunities for the tribe.
