Lake Ozark could end up with two casinos, if the Osage Indians and a group of private investors have their way.

The investment group known as Osage River Gaming and Conventions (ORGC) has decided to try again to change the Missouri constitution, after a failed attempt to do so in 2024. They hope to build a casino near the Osage River on Highway 54.

“Yes, we are getting the band back together,” Andy Prewitt confirmed to LakeExpo. Prewitt is among the group’s investors. “[We] secured Miller County’s support on Monday [Nov. 3] and are on the Lake Ozark agenda for next Wednesday’s city council meeting (Nov 12),” he said.
