The casino has been a dream of the Catawba Nation for a decade, and even though it's not quite complete, there is still a lot to celebrate during the first weeks of the pre-launch facility's opening. Throughout the first weeks of its opening, the Catawba Two Kings Casino has seen over 100,000 guests come through the front doors. With over 500 slot machines to choose from, guests can win big and have fun. There have been dozens of jackpots won since the casino's opening, including several $10,000 cashouts and even one guest going home with a $75,000 jackpot! Popular games like Panda Magic and Golden Cen- tury seem to be crowd favorites for casino guests. The Community and Busi- ness Impact of the Casino. The Catawba Two Kings Ca- sino has had a positive im- pact on the community. Kings Mountain officials have com- mented that since its opening, the casino has brought in more crowds and revenue for local businesses, including shops and restaurants. The casino is also participating as a sponsor for Kings Mountain city events and activities, helping draw in more attendees from other areas. Kings Mountain mayor Scott Neisler commented, "They have really shown they want to be a part of the com- munity in a positive way." It's not just the area of Kings Mountain that is seeing positive trends since the open- ing of the casino. Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority and Catawba Nation citizen, ex- plained "The opportunities are endless for the next genera- tion." Mike Ulizio, president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority commented, "The casino will help increase re- sources available for the Ca- tawba Nation to improve their quality of life." In addition to adding an en- tertaining, profitable attraction to the area, the Catawba Two Kings Casino is responsible for providing jobs to 235 employ- ees thus far. In April 2020, the Catawba Nation's unemploy- ment rate was 13.8 percent. However, this number is pre- dicted to shrink as the growing Catawba Two Kings Casino creates jobs for Catawba citizens, as well as the Kings Mountain community. Ninety of the 235 employees are Kings Mountain residents, and 34 are Catawba Citizens. What to know before you go.

If you work up an appetite during your gameplay, there is a lim- ited food and beverage menu available for guests. As of now, no alcohol is available for pur- chase. Plan to visit in the after- noon. According to Mike Ulizio, president of the Catawba Na- tion Gaming Authority, "The casino certainly sees larger crowds during the day but is attracting a good number of players during the night and early morning." If you're look- ing to avoid the crowds due to social distancing or just to pre- vent waiting for a certain ma- chine, consider visiting in the afternoon. Times for specific promotions vary, and guests should sign up for emails through the Lucky North Club to learn more about them. Stay safe while you play.
