Gila River Indian Community is planning to build a new $100 million casino south of Chandler. The tribe operates three other casinos in Arizona: Wild Horse Pass, Lone Butte in Chandler and Vee Quiva in Laveen. Arizona signed a compact with local tribes in April to pave the way for at least four new Las Vegas-style gambling venues and legal sports betting.

Gila River Indian Community Governor Stephen Roe Lewis said in a statement that their fourth casino is “historic news” for the community. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and the state’s tribes in April signed an agreement that marked the biggest update and expansion of gambling in the State in many years. Chandler residents have responded with concerns about the new Gila river Indian community casino. The Tohono O‘odham Nation has said it could build a metro area facility near Loop 303 and Northern Parkway in West Valley.
