Construction has begun on the Naskila Casino Resort in Leggett, a 685,000-square-foot project from the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas that is expected to open in late 2028, according to sponsored content published by Port Arthur News.
The tribe broke ground on the resort in June. The article says it will be one of the largest regional venues of its kind when finished.
What the resort is planned to include
The resort is planned to feature more than 300 hotel rooms, dining, a pool, conference facilities and other amenities. At launch, it plans to include about 3,400 electronic bingo machines and roughly 35,000 square feet of flexible event and conference space. It also plans a grand ballroom, bars, lounges and restaurants.
In the meantime, Naskila Casino Leggett operates as a temporary 24-hour facility at the future resort site. It has 300 electronic bingo machines, dedicated smoking and non-smoking areas, 24-hour dining and the Seven Feathers Players Club.
Tribal gaming in Texas
The tribe has operated Naskila Casino in Livingston for 10 years. The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe is one of three Texas tribes that operate casinos, along with the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas and the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo.
The article says the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed in 2022 that tribal gaming is tied to federal law rather than state law.
Most games at Naskila Casino and Naskila Casino Leggett are electronic bingo. Traditional slots, blackjack and roulette require a tribal-state agreement, which Texas has not entered.
