The 26,000-square-foot casino offers 599 slot machines and nine live tables, a restaurant, a bar, and a total of 74 hotel rooms. The company noted a 50% increase in gaming positions with the full resort now open compared to the temporary casino location.

Haitzmann and Hoetzinger said the casino now has a proper gaming floor, restaurant, bar, hotel rooms, and RV park.
