When complete in November, the sportsbook is anticipated to be a significant draw to the casino, Marzotto said. The Spokane Tribe received federal approval last month that allows sports wagering on tribal grounds. It’s in the process of hiring more staff and finalizing a partnership with “an industry-leading sportsbook partner” to bring sports betting to the casino, Marzotto said. However, not all of the casino’s new amenities will open Monday.
The casino will be reopening its craps table in late November, Marzotto said. The casino added more than 300 new slot machines and six table games. The expansion “allows us to spread out and give more amenities to players.” “The overall feedback has been people like us and appreciate the safety measures we did with COVID, but a complaint was we were just too small,” said Christopher Marzotto, marketing director of Spokane Tribe Casino. The Spokane Tribe broke ground on the project, which cost more than $30 million, last year. It brings a larger nonsmoking gaming area, dedicated poker room, new dining option and sports betting area. The Spokane Tribe Casino on Monday is unveiling its expansion, which doubles the size of its casino floor with 20,000-square feet of additional gaming space.
The Spokane Tribe has completed the second phase in its plan to develop a hotel-casino property in Airway Heights.
