For 30 years, Chinook Winds Casino Resort has been the primary economic driver of the Siletz Tribe, providing steady jobs to hundreds of local residents and tribal members, while delivering a multifaceted entertainment experience for our guests.
Beyond its economic contributions, Chinook Winds reinvests in the community through fundraising, monetary donations and support of local charities. Chinook Winds has remained a pillar of strength for the community and its team members ensuring the economy stayed afloat even in tough times.
As we celebrate 30 years of success, Chinook Winds is focused on the future, investing back into the property with structural upgrades and acquisitions of cutting-edge technology that will fuel the business for years to come. Along with our current offerings of over 950 slot machines, 16 table games, keno, sports wagering, bingo, our childcare center, seven food venues, our new floor bar, lobby bar, arcade, 1,300-seat entertainment hall, 240+ room hotel, our 18 hole golf course and fitness center; we are proud to say we offer gaming and entertainment that is “Better at the Beach.”
This year’s milestone celebration is a testament to what the team and tribe have accomplished thus far and will foster a sense of pride, loyalty and optimism among the team members, guests, and tribal members.
The focus of our gaming enterprise this year is to continue to ensure that our slot offering is aligned with the market demand so we can offer our guests their favorite titles. Part of our strategy for achieving this is to utilize industry metrics. We use data such as analyzing the slot manufacturer market share when we make slot purchasing decisions for the property. We also keep a close eye on which titles are consistently in the top 20 nationwide. Our player development team has been invaluable by sharing feedback from our guests regarding the titles
they want to play.
Another area of importance for us in 2025 is to update the facility by making significant improvements to the property’s appearance. We recently completed a bar remodel and will expand the scope of this project to update the casino floor. We are in the midst of remodeling the exterior of the casino with a modern, clean design. We are proud to have incorporated tribal designs, which are very specific to the Siletz Tribe and which celebrate the tribal heritage here at the Oregon coast. The tribe is also investing in remodeling and updating the exterior of the hotel, which will result in a beautiful and inviting experience for our guests.
We will continue to invest in our team members. The Siletz Tribe has been very generous in allowing management to offer a huge array of programs and team appreciation events. Many of our team members are tribal, from the Siletz Tribe, as well as other tribes from Oregon and other states. We are very proud of our protégé program, which is our tribal team member development initiative. Many members of our director team have graduated from this program and have achieved tremendous professional success, both here in our organization, as well as at other properties. All of our team members are part of the Lincoln City community, and we strive to provide a welcoming environment for all, and to provide opportunities for growth, both personal and professional.
