$42.4 Million In Tribal Gaming Contributions for Q1, FY 2024

The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) just announced $42,400,105 in tribal gaming contributions will be going to the Arizona Benefits Fund for the first quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. This amount represents an approximate 2% increase when compared to the same quarter of FY 2023.

“Tribal gaming remains integral to the future success of Arizona, with over $1.8 billion contributed to the Arizona Benefits Fund since its inception,” said Jackie Johnson, Cabinet Executive Officer, ADG. “Not only do tribal gaming dollars go directly to tribal communities, they contribute to educational improvement, healthcare services, tourism, wildlife conservation, and more for both the state and its tribal communities.”

The Arizona Benefits Fund receives 88% of the tribal gaming contributions, providing significant dollars to support instructional improvement in schools, trauma and emergency care, tourism, and wildlife conservation throughout the state.

Per the Arizona Tribal-State Gaming Compact, Tribes with casinos also contribute a percentage of their Class III gross gaming revenue to cities, towns, and counties. Total tribal contributions to the Arizona Benefits Fund in addition to cities, towns, and counties in the state has amounted to nearly $2.1 billion since FY 2004. Currently, there are 25 Class III casinos in Arizona, which ADG regulates in partnership with the Arizona tribes.

Established by the Arizona State Legislature in 1995, the ADG is the state regulatory agency for tribal gaming along with racing and pari-mutuel/simulcast wagering, event wagering/ fantasy sports and unarmed combat sports. For more info about ADG, please visit their website at Gaming.AZ.gov. $

Desert Diamond Casinos Hosts Ceremony To Top Off Steelwork On New Facility Near Loop 303 & Northern Parkway

Recently, the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE) held a topping off ceremony for the construction of its new Desert Diamond Casino facility located near Loop 303 & Northern Parkway. The event marks a major milestone in construction as TOGE begins to close out the final sequence of steel for the new $450 million casino.

TOGE broke ground on the project in April 2023, with a 19month construction timeline. The new facility will feature a 184,000 square-foot casino floor with 900 Class III slot machines, poker room, retail sportsbook, and table games including blackjack, craps, roulette, and baccarat, as well as dining and other amenities.

JCJ Architecture led the design of the new Desert Diamond Casino, which will eventually expand to include a hotel, conference center, an outdoor pool and recreational amenities, and an amphitheater and event lawn space. Construction is being headed by the Hunt / Penta Joint Venture as general contractor and will create over 5,500 construction jobs. Once completed, the full-scale facility will employ more than 1,000 people.

Verlon Jose, Chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation said, “Today is a major milestone for the Tohono O’odham Nation. We have come a long way in building a more prosperous future for our people and the West Valley, but just like this new casino, we still have much further to go. The Nation will continue to work closely with our friends and partners in the region for the benefit of all our communities.”

Mike Bean, CEO of the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise said, “We are very proud of what has been accomplished so far by our construction team. It will be a beautiful, first-class facility that complements the fastest-growing region of the Phoenix Valley. We are moving quickly to complete this economic development project that is creating opportunity for the West Valley and the Tohono O’odham Nation.”

Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, with their three locations in Southern Arizona (Tucson, Sahuarita, and Why) and one in the West Valley near Glendale, AZ, is owned and operated by the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, an enterprise of the Tohono O’odham Nation.
