Monday, June 18, 2007  

The Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe are ready to open new casinos on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming.

The Eastern Shoshone Tribe is about two weeks away from finishing construction of its first casino. The Shoshone Rose is expected to open in mid-August with 100 Class III machines and is making plans for an even larger facility.

The Northern Arapaho Tribe hopes to open the $22.5 million Wind River Casino by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the tribe has added Class III machines to its existing bingo hall.

The two tribes share the Wind River Reservation.
