The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana continue work on a $21.1 million casino.

The tribe is building an entirely new Gray Wolf Peak Casino in Evaro. The facility will feature 10,000 square-feet of gaming space, between 300 to 400 gaming machines, a restaurant, a private dining area, a deli and an outdoor patio dining area, The Char-Koosta News reports.

The paper previously reported that the casino will open in late October or early November. S&K Gaming, the tribe's gaming arm, has been tightening its belts ahead of the launch.

S&K has decided to stop offering free play at its facilities, the paper reported. And the board of directors declined to sponsor this year's INFR Flathead River Rodeo due to money concerns.

"Our decision was based on the profit/loss statement," Troy Felsman, a council member who sits on the S&K board, said at a meeting, The Char-Koosta News reported.
