The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is celebrating the sixth anniversary of the Prairie Flower Casino, which Nov. 1, 2018.
While the slots are rolling in the original space, work crews are busy constructing the expansion, growing the casino from its current 7,000 square feet to 70,000 square feet.
“[We had] 200 machines and it’s going to 600 slot machines,” said Ernie Dellaverson, the casino’s general manager. “From no electronic table games to games like craps and blackjack.”
Dellaverson told 6 News there will be two restaurants in the new space, including a sports bar with a sportsbook. And since all of this is technically in Iowa — situated in Carter Lake — unlike Nebraska casinos, guests will be able to gamble on Husker games here.
