The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes celebrated the grand opening of the 400 Horses Casino in Polson, a new venture by S&K Gaming that tribal leaders are calling a milestone in the tribe's economic growth. The casino is named in honor of Chief Alexander, also known as Chief 400 Horses, and features over 300 slot machines, a bar, and a restaurant overlooking Flathead Lake. S&K Gaming CEO Byron Miller emphasized that the project represents a broader investment in the community's future, stating, "It's not about gaming — it's another asset for the tribe to generate revenue to support membership and provide support back to the tribes." The casino brings more than 70 jobs to the area and is expected to generate over $1 million in revenue for CSKT tribal members, with additional donations supporting reservation organizations like fire departments and local charities. Miller noted that the casino's success is part of a larger expansion plan, as S&K Gaming continues to grow its presence in the region.
