Overview: On Dec. 20, a Broken Arrow city planning official confirmed that the Kialegee Tribal Town was planning to build a gaming establishment in the city and call it the Red Clay Casino.
The federally recognized tribe plans to open a temporary facility in March that would consist of about eight to 12 prefabricated buildings with slot machines. The tribe plans to build a permanent casino building that would be complete around the beginning of 2013.
The land is at the southwest corner of South Olive Avenue (129th East Avenue) and West Florence Street (111th Street), just north of the Creek Turnpike.
This announcement came to a surprise to Broken Arrow residents, resulting in public meetings, protests and a legal battle.
