Kickapoo Tribe ready to debut expansion of casino in Texas

Friday, March 29, 2013  

The Kickapoo Tribe of Texas will be unveiling a major casino expansion this spring.

The tribe is more than doubling the size of the gaming floor at the Lucky Eagle Casino. The tribe is also adding a 249-room hotel to the facility.

"The current facility was not large enough," general manager Robin Miller told KXAN-TV. "It's a very exciting time for both the tribe and the casino with the expansion."

The casino only offers Class II games. The state has refused to negotiate a Class III gaming compact.
