The new gambling venue is expected to generate approximately 1,000 new permanent jobs once fully operational. A community representative said that plans could be expanded to include a hotel.Ĭonstruction is projected to take between a year and a half and two years. The new facility is expected to cost more than $100 million and to feature all of the new games allowed under the recently inked compact, including new table games and sports betting. The tribe currently operates gambling venues at Wild Horse Pass, which is currently undergoing a $143 million expansion, and Lone Butte in Chandler and Vee Quiva in Laveen.
Gila River Indian Community has revealed plans to develop its new casino on community trust land south of Gilbert Road and Hunt Highway, south of the City of Chandler. The Gila River Indian Community is set to build its fourth casino in Arizona after the state signed a historic compact with local tribes in April to pave the way for at least four new Las Vegas-style gambling venues and legal sports betting.
