'This place took care of us for generations and generations,' said Coeur d'Alene Tribal Council Chairman Chief Allan. WORLEY - Long before it became the destination that it is today, the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel was a bingo hall.Īnd long before the bingo hall, it was a sprawling, open expanse of land long used by the Coeur d'Alene people.
The bingo hall employed 93 people, many who had never worked, and has continued to be a source of pride, revenue, self-sufficiency and stability for the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and its community. The Coeur d'Alene Tribal Bingo hall that opened just outside of Worley in March of 1993 enticed visitors with high-stakes games with payouts of $1,000.
