S&K Gaming LLC

What S&K Gaming LLC does

S&K Gaming, LLC is a privately held tribal gaming and hospitality management company established in 2006 by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes — comprising the Bitterroot Salish, Upper Pend d'Oreille, and Kootenai peoples — to consolidate oversight of general gaming operations on the Flathead Reservation. The company, headquartered at 219 1st St East in Polson, Montana, manages four wholly owned properties in northwestern Montana along US Highway 93 between Missoula and the Canadian border: Gray Wolf Peak Casino (Class II gaming, 20 miles north of Missoula), KwaTaqNuk Resort and Casino (Flathead Lake lodging, casino, conference, and wedding facilities), Big Arm Resort and Casino (Flathead Lake lakefront resort and gaming), and S&K Polson Bay Marina (waterfront services). Operations are regulated by the Tribal Gaming Commission under sovereign-nation authority rather than under a state gaming compact, which permits Class II gaming machines with million-dollar progressive jackpots compared with an $800 jackpot cap applied to Montana state-licensed facilities.
