Tere are no commercial casinos in the state of Idaho but 10 tribal casinos are currently open. Te Shoshone-Bannock Tribes own and operate three gaming properties – the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel in Pocatello which opened in 2019 and has 900 slots and bingo, 150 room hotel and five restaurants, Sage Hill Casino and Travel Center with 100 slots and Bannock Peak Casino and Truck Stop in Pocatello with 60 slots. Te tribe has plans to open a fourth casino in Mountain Home which is off tribal lands which is possible via the ‘land-in-trust’ special permission process. Te tribe has been planning the casino for more than a decade and bought the 157 acre plot of land in early 2020. Te $311m 500,000sq.ft casino will include 2,000 slots, a 250 room hotel, six restaurants, event centre and bowling, theatre and arcade area and horse racing track. Te tribe discussed a joint venture with the Sho- shone Paiute tribe but negotiations have been unsuccessful and both tribes are now pushing ahead with individual plans. Tis is Paiute’s first casino proposal, also in Mountain Home, but despite a letter of intent nothing further has hap- pened to date. Te Paiute tribe says it has its eye on a plot and has been trying to pursue a casino in Mountain Home since the 1990s and declined a joint venture as establishing their own casino would offer more economic opportunities to tribal members and be a boost for their community which suffers high poverty rates. Idaho falls under the Portland region of tribal casinos (which also includes Alaska, Washington and Oregon) which saw total gaming revenues in 2023 of $4.5bn with a total of 53 operations across the four states.
