First Phase of $1.2 B Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort
The Catawba Indians will build two additional casinos in North Carolina and have already identified the sites, Chief Brian Harris announces Wednesday during celebrations for the opening of the first phase of the $1.2 billion Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort in Kings Mountain.
Two More Casinos Planned
“We got two more casinos to build in this state, and goddamn we’re going to build them,” Harris announces to 500 tribal members and guests at the ribbon cutting for the resort, located off Interstate 85, 35 miles west of Charlotte.
Harris declined to disclose the sites when asked by The Charlotte Observer, saying negotiations are ongoing. “We’ve identified the locations. We’re in preliminary negotiations right now. And once those come to fruition, when we come to deal, we’ll make an announcement,” he said.
The tribe’s existing Kings Mountain casino, known as the introductory phase, currently features 1,350 slot machines, 36 electronic table games, 22 traditional table games, a 68‑seat restaurant, an 18‑seat bar, sports betting kiosks, and a player rewards desk. It operates 24/7.
The full resort is expected to open in spring 2027, with 4,300 slot machines, 100 live table games, 11 restaurants, 11 bars, and a 24‑story hotel with 385 rooms. Officials say the project will create 2,200 permanent jobs.
