US.- Comanche Nation Entertainment has announced a multi-phase expansion of the Comanche Red River Hotel Casino and Comanche Nation Casino in Southwest Oklahoma.
Construction will begin at Comanche Red River Hotel Casino with a new event centre to host concerts, conferences and community events. It will also add approximately 150 additional slot machines, 15 table games, new bar and food service areas and non-gaming attractions including an arcade and virtual golf suites. The event centre will have seating for 500 to 750 people.
CEO Steven Doyle said: “This capital improvement marks a strategic milestone for Comanche Nation Entertainment. It gives us room to grow in a smart and sustainable way—creating more value for our guests, our team members and most importantly, Comanche Nation. Expanding our hotel room capacity and building an event center creates a stronger foundation for long-term profitability. It helps us capture more overnight visitors, extend play time on the casino floor and bring in new audiences for live events and entertainment.”
In February, Comanche Cache Casino celebrated its reopening after a year of renovations. The venue, which temporarily closed in February 2024, now has an expanded gaming floor and new amenities. The gaming floor features over 300 slot machines, and there’s a new open-air veranda, a convenience store and a gas station.
