The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is hosting a grand opening this Saturday for a $60 million casino expansion project.
The Choctaw Casino in Pocola is getting more slot machines, table games and restaurants. A hotel is also on the works and is due to open in May 2013. “I just can’t wait,” marketing director Arlene Alleman told 5 News. It’s just really a beautiful casino. I think that people will really be surprised at just how luxurious it is.” The tribe is adding more than 350 jobs with the expansion of the casino. Pocola is a few miles from the Arkansas border.
