The Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise said the new resort will be placed north of the current gaming facility. Once completed, the current casino will be used as a warehouse.
CEO of the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprises, Andy Asselin, said the development should take close to two years to complete, around 20 months, and have a price tag of $400 million. The current casino will continue to operate as construction begins.
The new gaming venue will be 75,000 square feet in size which will be more than twice the size of the 35,000-square foot facility being used today. Table games will be on offer including pokerand blackjack, along with slot machines.
The Desert Diamond Casino is a Class 2 venue offering only bingo-style slot games. There are no table games at this venue as the tribe was not given a Class 3 gaming license by the state.
