Indian Gaming

The Jena Band of Choctaw Indians in Louisiana will open its Class II gaming facility on Wednesday.

The tribe broke ground on the Jena Choctaw Pines Casino in May 2012. The 46,000-square-foot facility will feature more than 700 gaming devices, poker tables, a sports bar and a buffet.

Class III gaming is legal in Louisiana but Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has not agreed to enter negotiations.
