Future Chin'an Gaming Hall (permanent casino)

Chin'an Gaming Hall

The Eklutna Tribe opened a temporary facility for the Chin'an Gaming Hall on January 20, 2025. The gaming facility consists of five modular units attached together as one building atop a wooden block foundation and a gravel pad. The temporary facility will continue to operate while the permanent facility is under construction.

Additional information about gaming and food services at the temporary casino have not yet been disclosed.

History

Prior to 2023 Alaska Natives were not regulated under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which governs Native American gaming casinos. Instead, the Alaska Gaming Commission regulated Alaska gaming. That changed in November 2023, when a legal decision allowed the federal government to take land into trust for Alaska Natives with gaming facilities located off-site from Native villages or communities.

As a result, the National Indian Gaming Commission inside the U.S. Department of Interior granted federal approval for the Eklutna Tribe to build the Chin'an Gaming Hall on new land near the Birchwood Airport.

Construction work continues on temporary casino (Jan. 19, 2025)
