It features 600 electronic gaming machines, seven poker tables, six table games and a 24-hour diner, and employs 320 people. The new casino hotel will replace the tribe’s 50,000 square foot Cherokee Casino Roland operation, which opened in 1990. The resort-style hotel will feature 120 rooms, plus convention space. The casino will offer 850 electronic games, table games and a poker room, as well as a café and buffet. Expected to be completed this summer, the project, located about a five-minute drive from the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, will add 100 new jobs. The Cherokee Nation topped off a project in Roland, Oklahoma, where it is building a 170,000 square foot, million addition at the Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland. An $80 million expansion of the Cherokee Casino & Hotel Roland will bring more than 800 gaming machines and 120 rooms, along with another 100 jobs.
