Construction on the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska’s Prairie Flower casino in Carter Lake, Iowa is moving along on schedule, and the casino will soon start filling out the remaining available jobs. Ponca Tribe chairman Larry Wright Junior says they recently had a job fair for tribal members to fill some spots.
The casino expects to have around 100 employees. Wright says another issue they will discuss is whether members of the tribe receive some sort of payment from the casino proceeds.
The Ponca Tribe has some 43-hundred members in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The 95-hundred square foot casino with 200 slot machines is expected to open sometime in late October.
