The Yankton Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota broke ground on a $10 million casino expansion project.
The Fort Randall Casino and Hotel will be expanded in three phases.
The first phase includes a new gaming floor, an improved ventilation system and more gaming machines and gaming tables.
"The larger casino will mean more jobs, and the construction will also bring jobs to the area," Chairwoman Karen Archambeau said at the groundbreaking, The Yankton Press and Dakotan reported. "This project will really help our people with our high unemployment rate of 70 to 80 percent. This helps tremendously with self-esteem for our people."
The tribe received a loan from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota.
