Spirit Mountain Casino is a Native American casino located in Grand Ronde, Oregon, United StatesonOregon Route 18. It is operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, and was created to "enhance economic self-sufficiency opportunities for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, its members and surrounding communities; to promote economic diversification by the Tribes: to support a variety of housing, educational and cultural programs under the direction of Tribal Council".[1] It is the state's busiest tourist attraction, drawing three million visitors a year.[2]
The casino's amenities include a 254-room hotel, 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2) of gaming floors, five restaurants, live entertainment and other special events. Games include 2,000 slot machines, blackjack, pai gow poker, roulette, and keno.
Six percent of the profits from the casino goes to the Spirit Mountain Community Fund (SMCF) and are in turn donated to organizations in western Oregon, an area which includes eleven counties: Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington, Tillamook, Lincoln, Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Benton, Linn, and Lane.[3] Since 1998, the SMCF has also funded the Mark O. Hatfield Fellowship to enable a Native American to serve as a staff member to a member of the U.S. Congressional Delegation from Oregon.[4]
