The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe is scheduled to open its new temporary casino facility this summer on its existing tribal reservation land in Leggett. The temporary casino will be open 24 hours a day and feature 300 electronic bingo machines for guests to enjoy. The new facility will also offer a 24-hour deli, a fountain drink station, a player’s club, and approximately 300 parking spaces.
“This temporary facility will provide a positive economic impact for Polk County, surrounding communities and for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe. The temporary casino will create 110 new jobs, strengthen local partnership, and establish a foundation for long-term tourism growth,” Tribal Council Chairman Ricky Sylestine said.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on June 18 to celebrate the new Naskila Casino Resort facility which will be located across from where the temporary casino will be located.
The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe owns and operates Naskila Casino and Ischoopa Travel Center located on its tribal reservation land on US Hwy. 190 Park Road 56 between Livingston and Woodville. Since its opening in 2016, Naskila Casino has offered its guests Class II bingo machines, a smoking and non-smoking gaming area, Timbers Grille Restaurant and Café Itto Si, a player’s club, fountain drink stations and a gift shop. Ischoopa Travel Center has a 12-bay fuel station including diesel, a convenience store, a 24-hour deli and offers its guests 81 Class II bingo machines.
