Spokane Tribe Casino Expansion Plans for 2026

The Spokane Tribe Casino is moving ahead with a major expansion that will add new gaming floors, more table games, and an expanded hotel block. Construction crews began site work in late 2025 and crews expect the first phase to open in mid-2026.

Planners say the project will increase the total gaming footprint by roughly 40 percent and will include a new high-limit slot room, a 10-table poker pit, and a sports-betting lounge. The tribe also plans to add 120 hotel rooms and a second restaurant to meet rising demand from visitors driving in from Spokane and Coeur d’Alene.

Timeline and Construction Phases

Phase one focuses on the casino floor and will finish in the third quarter of 2026. Phase two covers the hotel tower and is scheduled for early 2027. Builders are using modular construction to shorten downtime for current guests.
