What Spirit Mountain Casino does

Spirit Mountain Casino is an integrated gaming, lodging, and entertainment resort operated by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon through its corporate entity, Spirit Mountain Gaming, Inc. (SMGI). Located on the tribe's 9,811-acre reservation in Grand Ronde, Oregon, approximately 65 miles southwest of Portland and 30 miles from Salem, the property opened in 1995 following the tribe's 1983 federal restoration and the 1993 Oregon tribal-state gaming compact. The 90,000 square foot gaming floor holds nearly 2,000 slot machines and a full suite of Las Vegas-style table games, augmented by Keno and Oregon's largest BetMGM-powered sportsbook (launched August 2020).

The resort is structured as a multi-vertical destination: 254 hotel rooms across Standard ($109/night), Premium ($159/night), and Premium Suite ($259/night) tiers; eight food and beverage outlets spanning upscale (Amoré), casual (Rock Creek Grill, Mountain View Sports Bar), Tex-Mex (Jalapeño's), and quick-service (Sips Coffee & Tea Bar, 10 Barrel Hop Yard) formats; a 1,600-2,000 seat Event Center hosting concerts, comedy, corporate events, and weddings; an RV park with cottages; and a four-tier Coyote Club loyalty program (Member, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond). Revenue is generated transactionally across gaming (slots, tables, sportsbook wagers), recurring hotel/RV stays, and F&B sales.

The business is supported by a captive regional customer base from Portland, Salem, the Oregon Coast, and Eugene, with public transit access via Pacific Crest Bus Lines Route 60X. Core technology partners include BetMGM (sportsbook platform, integrated with Coyote Club accounts) and Aristocrat Gaming (slot machine portfolio, including the NFL Super Bowl Jackpots and Buffalo Grand brands). The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde mandates that 6% of casino revenue be donated to the Spirit Mountain Community Fund, which has distributed over $92.8M to nonprofits across 11 Oregon counties since 1997.
