The Wind River Casino in Riverton, Wyoming, is working to comply with regulations in order to be able to offer high-stakes blackjack. According to Jim Conrad, general manager, the process has been delayed due to rules for lighting and security cameras since the casino already has blackjack dealers.

“Plans are to initially offer four blackjack tables, with a variety of allowable bets. The minimum bet likely will be $3, and the maximum bet $500”, Conrad said. "You always have to have a table for the guy that wants to play a $100 hand.”

The Wind River Casino currently offers electronic bingo and slot machines and there are plans to construct a new building. It nets about $3 million a year for the Northern Arapaho Tribe, which expects earnings to increase when the blackjack tables open.
