Casinos coming to Wind River Reservation in Wyoming

Friday, April 21, 2006  

Two casinos, and possibly more, are on the way on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.

The Northern Arapaho Tribe and the Eastern Shoshone Tribe share the reservation. Both are moving forward with plans for Class III facilities after the Arapahos won a critical court case that affirmed the right to offer "the full gamut" of Class III games.

The Arapahos began work on a $10 million facility after winning the case and gaining Class III approval from the Interior Department. The Shoshones just signed a compact with the state and could be opening more than one casino.
