The Catawbas and Delaware North, the tribe’s operating partner on the project, gave a tour of construction progress on June 17. An introductory phase of the casino resort is on track for a March opening, project leaders said. That phase will include 1,350 slot machines, 22 table games, a 40-seat restaurant, a bar and sports-betting kiosks.
