The total economic benefit of Naskila Casino continues to grow, with the facility injecting $212 million into the Polk County economy in 2022, according to a new report commissioned by the Texas Forest Country Partnership.
The study by the economic analysis firm TXP found that Naskila — the electronic bingo facility run by the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas on its Reservation near Livingston — is responsible for 825 permanent local jobs with a collective payroll of $22.5 million, including 400 jobs at the casino.
“This economic impact and these jobs would simply not exist without Naskila. Because 95 percent of Naskila’s customers come from outside of Polk County, and more than 80 percent come from outside the region, Naskila is an economic engine that benefits every stakeholder in the region,” the study says.
