The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington will debut a $43 million casino next Wednesday.

The tribe broke ground on the 12 Tribes Resort and Casino in May 2014. The facility will feature a 56,000 square-foot gaming floor with 500 electronic gaming machines and table games, two lounges, two restaurants and an 80-room hotel with meeting space and an indoor/outdoor pool.

“It’s a beautiful casino,” Randy Williams, the tribe's director of corporate gaming, told The Omak Chronicle. “We think it’s the nicest looking in the state. We hope everyone else will be happy with it.”

The casino draws its name from the 12 tribes on the Colville Reservation -- Colville, Nespelem, Sanpoil, Lakes or Sinixt, Palus, Wenatchi, Chelan, Entiat, Methow, southern Okanagan, Sinkiuse-Columbia, and the Nez Perce of Chief Joseph's Band.
