Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe wants Class III compact
Thursday, July 3, 2008

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe is planning to open a Class II facility but would eventually like to negotiate a Class III compact with South Dakota, the tribe's construction manager said.

The tribe plans a $6 million to $7 million resort with a hunting theme, a casino and a boat dock on Lake Oahe. The facility would open by 2009, construction manager John Hunt said.

The tribe is the only one in the state without a casino. Other tribes have Class III compacts but are limited to 250 slot machines while non-Indian operators have installed over 8,500.
