The works on Catawba Two Kings Casino in North Carolina are in progress, and the visitors will soon be able to enjoy an enhanced gaming experience on new live table games.
Additional table games for the temporary casino:
It is expected that the changes will be conducted by this summer, and the casino will get 12 new live table games. At the moment, it features various playing options such as 1,000 slot machines and electronic table games, as well as a popular retail sportsbook and a restaurant available to visitors.
Among the new games the players will be able to enjoy are craps, roulette, mini-baccarat, blackjack, Mississippi stud poker, and three-card poker.
But that’s not all – in order to make the playing experience as smooth as possible, the casino will see new prefabricated modular structures that will be located in the venue. The Catawba Nation Gaming Authority will operate all of them.
The work on upgrading the temporary casino began in February and will last until summer. However, the exact date of launching new table games is still unknown.
As The Star reports, Brian Harris, a Chief of Catawba Nation, said: “We’re very excited to be adding live table games to expand our gaming and entertainment offerings at Catawba Two Kings Casino. By adding live table games, we are giving our loyal patrons something many have asked for and also anticipate drawing Charlotte residents and visitors to the region who have not yet been to the casino.”
A free dealer school will also be opened on March 25 in Kings Mountain. The school will last until June 14, and it will be followed by recruitment fairs in various locations in the country. The school and overall recruitment process is supported by Delaware North, Catawba Nation’s consultant and one of the leading hospitality and entertainment companies.
It is expected that the casino will see 120 new employees on top of the 280 that currently work there. Kathy George, a President of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, said: “While we want to attract experienced dealers to our team and are offering bonuses and relocation packages for those who qualify and are hired, it’s also a top objective to add local residents who may be new to gaming but are seeking a good-paying job. Our free dealer school will prepare people for new careers in the casino industry.”
Works on the permanent site:
The development of the temporary casino is a part of the plan for the construction of the permanent casino resort. The timeframe for the permanent casino is still unknown, but it is known that it will be adjacent to the temporary casino. The tribe already purchased the parking lot and the land near the temporary property, which was approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission. All details about the construction of the permanent casino will be published later this year.
The nation also worked on two infrastructure projects – the size of the Dixon School Road Bridge was doubled and new sewer lines were installed.
Apart from table games, the casino plans to operate mobile sports betting in the state, and the process of choosing its new partner is in progress. In the meantime, the tribe’s retail sportsbook remains popular among the residents, since it’s the closest to Charlotte of all three sportsbooks in the state.
