Investigation at Two Kings Casino about to conclude
The Two Kings Casino, located on Catawba tribal territory in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, continues to operate under the Indian Gaming Act (IGRA). Despite some speculations, the casino is not currently under investigation for breaching the IGRA.
The casino, operated by the Catawba Indian Nation, opened a temporary facility in 2021 and plans to open the permanent casino resort in March 2026. The temporary casino offers 500 slot machines, which will be increased to 1000 by December.
The Two Kings Casino received all necessary federal approvals, including the U.S. Department of Interior's approval in March 2020, and signed a gaming compact with North Carolina in January 2021, allowing Class III gaming. The casino operates under the regulations set by the Indian Gaming Act, ensuring a regulated environment for its operations.
The investigation, if any, aimed to determine if the Catawba Tribe has a proprietary interest in the Two Kings Casino and if they obtained approval for the construction and operation of the casino. However, no updates or timelines regarding investigations or legal actions against Two Kings Casino are found in the sources from 2025, indicating no major regulatory issues at this time.
The new casino, once completed, will require a significant workforce for staffing and will offer venues for tourists to enjoy. It will also contribute to the state's economy, with the state expected to receive taxes from the new casino. The new casino will provide another spot for casino fans to visit, further boosting the local tourism industry.
If the investigation finds that the Catawba tribe has breached any regulations, they will be punished accordingly, ensuring the integrity of the IGRA and the operations of tribal casinos. The Indian Gaming Act is in place to help regulate the operations of tribal casinos and maintain fairness and transparency in the gaming industry.
