• Arizona Casino Wars: Tribes battle over new gaming facility in the Phoenix area The dispute arose after the tribe announced the casino way back in January 2009. The state refused to certify the new facility for Class III games even though numerous court rulings supported the tribe's right to engage in gaming at the site in Glendale, a suburb in the West Valley of Phoenix.
• Twin Arrows Casino Resort is known for the lavish resort amenities, including, casino, luxury guest rooms, gourmet dining, culturally infused casual dining, a fitness center, heated indoor pool and more than 11,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space.

Arizona has some of the most lenient laws when it comes to casino gambling in the US. Today, there are more than 20 land-based gambling venues spread throughout the state. Lawmakers are now considering plans for a new casino in Tucson to be constructed.

There are already three casinos in this southern Arizona city. A prominent Native American tribe here is working with the state to open their own gaming establishment here. Let’s look at whether or not this will actually happen.

Arizona’s Laws on Casino Gambling

Arizona has taken a pro-gambling stance over the years. In 1988, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was passed that allows Native American Tribes to operate casinos on their land. A legal battle ensued with Arizona’s governor and was settled by 1992.

By 2003, many of these gaming venues began operating in the state. Initially, each Arizona casino was operated by tribes. Today, there are multiple commercials casinos here that are run by major companies including Caesars Entertainment.

The state has been open to allowing more casino operations. Lawmakers here have also begun to embrace the sports betting industry. Bill SB 1158 allows Native American tribes to offer sports betting odds inside land-based casinos.

Bill 1158 is still being considered. Based on multiple reports, sports gambling will become fully regulated here by 2020.

This week, another Arizona tribe began pushing for a new casino in Tucson. It’s an exciting development for gambling fans in this city.

Plans Set for a New Casino in Tucson

The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is working hard to open a casino venue. Tribal leaders are working with city officials to open a brand new casino property near West Grant Road and Interstate 10. The 14.38-acre property will be on tribal land and will be fully run by the Pascua Tribe.

This tribe has also set plans for a hotel, retail center, and housing development. A small section of this land will be used for cultural and ceremonial purposes.

Assistant City Manager Albert Elias is confirming that the Pascua Yaqui Tribe is pushing for this new casino. The plans set forth and deal with city officials is the first step in getting this gambling establishment up and running.

Elias claims that city leaders are interested in learning more about the plans, and how a new casino in Tucson will affect the local community. The matter will be discussed at a City Council meeting on Tuesday.

“There won’t be a vote, but an opportunity to learn more,” Elias said. “From a land-use point of view, it’s a great location and a very valuable piece of real estate.”

Is Online Casino Gambling Regulated in Arizona?

Not at the moment. Lawmakers in Arizona have shown no willingness to regulate the state’s internet casino market. Fortunately, there are still a huge number of amazing online casinos in Arizona available to players.

These internet casino sites offer hundreds of different slots, table games, and poker gambling options. Major US sites including Bovada Casino and Mybookie.ag operate here and provide a range of amazing casino gaming options.

It’s unclear if Arizona will regulate internet casino gambling in the future. As of now, no specific bills have been presented to open this industry. If the new casino in Arizona is officially opened, it will only provide land-based gambling options.

A number of states are beginning to allow online casino gaming. Many of these states, including Nevada and New Jersey, are profiting massively as a result. It wouldn’t be a major surprise to see Arizona’s online casino market opened within the next few years.

We will have to wait until Tuesday to hear how Tucson city officials feel about this new casino. Make sure to stay tuned for updates on the situation!

HISTORY

The Tohono O'odham Nation had thousands of acres of their land in the San Lucy District ruined by continuous flooding caused by federal construction of the Painted Rock Dam. To compensate the Nation the U.S. Congress passed the Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Act (Public Law 99-503). The law authorizes the Nation to buy unincorporated lands in Pima, Pinal, or Maricopa counties as replacement reservation lands. It also directs the U.S. Interior Department to transfer the replacement land into federal trust.

In 2003 the Nation purchased 135 acres of unincorporated land near Glendale, Arizona, as replacement land for the purpose economic and community development. The Nation asked the Secretary of the Interior to take into trust allowing them to build a casino per the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). Lawsuits challenged the qualifications of these 135 acres as replacement land. The tribe has won 19 lawsuits, and expects to win two more in 2016.

The grand opening of the first construction phase was celebrated December 20, 2015.

The second phase of construction will add an all-new, permanent casino. It will be over twice the size and offer table games and bingo in addition to slot machines. Five new restaurants will be added in this phase. Opening date is end of 2019.

Construction progress on Desert Diamond West Valley Casino

September 19, 2018

The Desert Diamond West Valley Casino recently held a topping off ceremony for the construction of the new gaming venue. The casino is owned by the Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE). Placing the final steel beam into place is a major mile stone for the project as it nears the completion.

The project will cost $400 million to complete. 1,500 people have been contracted to work on the construction of the new casino. When the gaming venue opens 1,600 people will be employed to work there.

Located on 54 acres of tribal land it is close to Peoria and Glendale. The casino project will complement the other entertainment options and sporting events in the area.

The casino floor will be 75,000 square feet. There will be Class III gaming offered. This includes poker, blackjack, slot machines, and live bingo. The casino will also offer a total of five options for dining.

Plans were first announced in January 29, 2009 by the Tohono O'odham Nation. Legal battles and lawsuits were filed shortly after the project was announced. In December of 2015 the tribe was able to open the temporary casino building to the public. Construction began on the new casino building in December of last year. The interim gaming facility has continued to be in operation while the construction has continued on the new building. There are currently 600 people employed at the casino.

The end of next year is when the soft opening of the new Desert Diamond West Valley casino location is scheduled to open.
