Riverwind Casino Rendering
Construction crews are on target to complete Chickasaw Nation’s Riverwind Casino, the state’s largest casino, by the end of August.
Two large electronic billboards were recently installed high atop a soaring façade over the north entrance.
"We’re about 80% complete on over all construction," said Brad Fortner, Chief Development Officer for Chickasaw Enterprises. "We will start moving furniture into the back offices soon and begin installing computers and electronic games the following week."
onstruction began in July, 2005 on the 219,000 square foot facility. Fortner says good weather and hard work by all construction crews and Chickasaw Enterprises employees have been the major factors for keeping the project on track.
"For a facility of this size, this is a very quick turnaround with regard to construction. It’s really unprecedented and we’ve been very pleased with how this project has been progressing," said Fortner.
Riverwind will set a new standard of style for Oklahoma casinos as its dual themes of water and wind reflect the essence of Oklahoma through the timeless elements that have defined our home for centuries.
