Leaders of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians approved plans for a casino away from the tribe's main reservation.

The tribe plans a 27,000 square-foot facility near Sandersville, in Jones County. The site is about 80 miles from tribal headquarters in Philadelphia, where the tribe operates two casinos.

The casino would offer between 500-700 slot machines
