THE ASK
The Port Gamble S’Klallum Tribe wanted to expand its existing gaming facility and offer the very latest in gaming technology. After careful consideration of a wide range of building solutions, the tribe liked the idea of accelerating the design and construction of the new facility by utilizing a Sprung concept and hiring FFKR Architects and Lonestar Construction.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
Featuring a specially designed, curved Sprung structure and an adjacent entertainment pavilion, the New Point Casino took just nine months to complete. The grand opening was held in May 2012.
Among the many attractive features of the New Point Casino is a showcase of S’Klallam art, which is displayed with specially designed graphic panels around the perimeter of the Sprung structures. In addition to over 500 games, the Point Casino has an upscale restaurant, two more casual dining choices, and an event center that can seat up to 760 people.
At 52,000 square feet, the new Point Casino is more than twice the size of its predecessor; the old casino is now converted into offices.
