The Gila River Indian Community of Arizona will be opening its new casino on November 20.
The 120,000 square-foot Lone Butte Casino will feature 850 slot machines, 24 blackjack tables and a 750-seat bingo hall. There's also an outdoor courtyard, entertainment areas, a bar and six eateries.
The facility won't be smoke free but the tribe spent more than $500,000 an advanced air filtration system. Customers were complaining about the smell of smoke, an executive said.
