Casinos in and around metro Phoenix are starting to roll out Las Vegas-style gambling options now permitted under Arizona’s new tribal gaming compact.

On Friday, Gila River Hotels & Casinos – Wild Horse Pass in Chandler will officially debut craps, baccarat and roulette, according to a Wednesday press release. Gila River’s other casinos, Lone Butte in Chandler and Vee Quiva in the West Valley, plan to add those games in the coming weeks.

“This is truly a historic moment in our 27-year history that will benefit both the Gila River Indian Community and the state by providing additional jobs and tourism, as well as increased opportunities to support the community,” Gila River Hotels & Casinos CEO Kenneth Manuel said in the release.
