The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and S&K Gaming celebrated the grand opening of the new 400 Horses Casino in Polson, Montana, on May 5 alongside the Indian Gaming Association, according to Yogonet. Tribal officials described the project as a major investment in economic development, job creation and tribal sovereignty through tribal gaming.
Located near Highway 83 and the Polson Airport, the 35,000-square-foot facility includes nearly 300 gaming machines, outdoor patio areas overlooking Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains, and the “371” restaurant, named after the deepest point of Flathead Lake. Yogonet reported that casino and gaming operations support more than 200 jobs in the community, with additional seasonal positions created each summer. Tribal officials also said the casino includes cultural and educational exhibits highlighting the history and traditions of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
