The Wind River Casino in Riverton, Wyoming, last month held the grand opening for a new, larger casino (45,000 square feet) that capped 20 years of expansion of a facility that started with a bingo hall. The 8,000-member Northern Arapaho Tribe owns and operates the casino, which is seen as not only an economic boon to the tribe, but also a source of job training for members who will be perceived as more employable for having worked there. It is the tribe?s effort to compete in Wyoming?s tourist trade. The casino has 750 slot machines and eight gaming tables, meeting space, several restaurants and retail shops. One of the restaurants serves prime beef raised on a ranch owned by the tribe.
