Hundreds of drivers lined Kings Mountain Boulevard for Wednesday morning’s opening of the first phase of the Catawba Indians’ $1.25 billion Catawba Two Kings Casino.
“We knew it was going to be busy,” Jasmine Cheek of Charlotte said about why she and her spouse, Subia King, joined the line at 8:40 a.m. for the 10 a.m. opening. “I mean, people are going to come from all over, to come to this new opening. So, you know, we have to be here. We love gambling. Only way to put it, we love it.”
The casino is off Interstate 85 exit 5, about 35 miles west of Charlotte.
