Cherokee Nation debuts expansion of casino



The Cherokee Nation debuted a big expansion of its casino in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma, near the Arkansas border.

The gaming floor now stretches more than 200,000 square-feet. That's a lot bigger than the small bingo hall that opened on the site in 1993.

"I feel like I'm not even in the same world anymore," Mark Smith told The Benton County Record after seeing the new place.

The tribe is spending $125 million on the facility, which is creating 500 new jobs.
