Tribal Casinos Games of chance have long been part of tribal culture, a way to share wealth and assets. Today tribal nations welcome visitors to their casino resorts, which provide more than 10,000 jobs and generate millions of dollars in tax revenue and charitable contributions every year. Across the state, gaming thrills are just part of these fun-filled entertainment centers: Slots, table games, poker tournaments and sports wagering provide Vegas-style action, while stylish hotels, music and comedy acts, spas, swimming pools, golf courses, festivals, arcades, and other activities delight the whole family. Come by for a day or make a casino resort your hub for a destination vacation. From river valleys to high mountains, the Coast to the Columbia Plateau, tribes invite you to experience their hospitality and all that their region has to offer.
CHINOOK WINDS CASINO RESORT Lincoln City
INDIAN HEAD CASINO Warm Springs
Steps from the beach with a backdrop of the boundless Pacific, the Chinook Winds Casino Resort makes the most of its incomparable oceanfront setting in Lincoln City. Diners enjoy spectacular views from the Rogue River Steakhouse atop the casino and from Chinook’s Seafood Grill, where the oyster bar serves up seafood sourced from the waters right outside the window — just two of seven dining options at this full-service resort owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. Guests at the Chinook Winds Hotel wake up to the sights and sounds of the ocean, and are right in the heart of a 24-hour entertainment hub. Gaming action includes live-action table games, over a thousand video and reel slots, sports wagering, poker rooms, bingo, and keno. Live shows at the convention center feature headlining performing artists like Clint Black, as well as comedy acts, expos and festivals. Golfers delight in the nearby Chinook Winds Golf Resort, a challenging 18-hole course that winds among grand old-growth trees and rich wetlands. Kids get their own entertainment areas at the Play Palace and the Games Galore Arcade. The allure of the Pacific, of course, entertains guests of every age. ChinookWindsCasino.com; 888-244-6665
