Ilani Casino Resort welcomes over 8,000 visitors per day
According to the information published by The Columbian, officials reported a ‘high volumes’ of visitors since the 368,000 sq ft complex from the Cowlitz Indian Tribe opened on April 24.
“We’ve certainly experienced high volumes,” Fox-LaRose said. “It’s an indicator that there is definitely awareness and curiosity out there in the community.”
Gambling figures might also be worth noting: 3,000 jackpots have been hit at the slot machines since opening and one blackjack player won $65,000.
“There’s a lot of winners,” she said. “A lot of happy people. It’s been a great experience these past few weeks.”
The casino is still on track to open its 17,000-square-foot event center and concert venue in the fall. A hotel is still in the plans, though that is about two years away.
Because Ilani is the closest casino to most of Portland, it’s expected to draw attention from Oregon gamblers. Howver, it’s still too early to tell how Ilani will impact the Oregon Lottery and the cash it flows into the state coffers.
