Kwataqnuk Casino relocation is approved by Polson, MT

August 27, 2023

Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes plan to separate its casino and resort operations at the current Kwataqnuk Resort & Casino by moving the casino to a new 79-acre site in Polson City. The new Kwataqnuk casino will be a standalone, 25,000-square-foot structure with an RV park, a visitors center, and low-cost residential housing.

Last week the city commission approved the annexation of the 79 acres to allow the new casino to connect to municipal water and sewage services. The land is tribal-owned land located across the Flathead River on the western side of Polson City. It is north of the Polson Airport and south of the intersection of Highway 922 and Irvine Flats Road.

"Moving the casino we have now out of the resort allows the resort to focus on family-friendly things. Moving the casino to the outskirts of town also allows us to focus on the casino as a business instead of a resort amenity."

- Daniel Hansen, CEO of S&K Gaming

After the casino relocates, the Kwataqnuk Resort will develop as a family-friendly destination. There are currently 100 guestrooms, two restaurants, and 5,000 square feet of meeting space. Guests enjoy summer water sports and winter skiing. The resort hosts the annual "Rock the Dock" summer outdoor concert series and plans to add more family-friendly attractions in the future.

New Casino is planned for Polson, Montana

May 16, 2022

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are working with the City of Polson to build a new casino. The tribe is seeking city annexation of 79-acres of its land on the west side to allow water service needed for construction.

On May 2 the City Commission unanimously approved a resolution of intent annex the land. There will now be a 20-day public comment period with a final vote expected in June. If approved, the construction of the casino could begin later this year.

A spokesman for the tribes told the city commission:

"Right now, the gaming establishment needs to get the construction on the ground. So our biggest priority is to get the entire property annexed, get an agreement for city water services, and then we'll come back to you with future requests for sewer."

- Bryon Miller, S&K Gaming CEO

Along with sewer service, the tribes and the city will need to negotiate agreements for law enforcement, fire protection and road maintenance.
