Wind River Hotel & Casino is Wyoming's largest tribal resort, owned and operated by the Northern Arapaho Tribe about two miles south of downtown Riverton on Highway 789. The 25,000-square-foot gaming floor holds roughly 800 slot and video poker machines, ten live table games including blackjack, craps, and roulette, a Texas Hold'Em poker table, and a Buffalo Sportsbook for legal sports wagering. The 90-room smoke-free hotel, three dining outlets — Red Willow restaurant, Ceenokuu Cafe, and the Sportsbook bar — a gift shop featuring Northern Arapaho artisan work, and a Cultural Experience Room distinguish it as a full-service destination on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
New visitors can ask at the counter about enrolling in the tribal loyalty program to earn rewards on slot play during each visit. Sign up at the players club desk before your first session — points are not retroactive.
789 Casino & Smokeshop is a compact Northern Arapaho-owned gaming and convenience stop located on Highway 789 approximately one mile north of Wind River Hotel & Casino. The facility offers classic reel and video slot machines across its gaming floors in a no-frills neighborhood format, making it a practical choice for locals and highway travelers who want quick access to gaming without the full resort experience. The adjoining smokeshop adds a convenience retail element that draws regular traffic along the US-789 corridor. The property runs 24 hours daily and sits entirely within the Wind River Indian Reservation in Fremont County, Wyoming.
Riverton sits in the heart of Fremont County at the geographic center of Wyoming, surrounded by the Wind River Indian Reservation — the only federally recognized tribal land in the state and the exclusive source of legal casino gaming in Wyoming. For residents and visitors coming from Casper, Lander, or the mountain corridors leading toward Yellowstone and Grand Teton, the two tribal gaming properties near Riverton represent the most accessible casino options anywhere in the state.
Wyoming does not license commercial or card-room casinos. There are no racetracks with slot machines and no state lottery-linked gaming machines of the type found in neighboring states. The only legal casino-style gambling in Wyoming exists on the Wind River Indian Reservation, operated under federal tribal gaming compacts by the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and the Northern Arapaho Tribe. Riverton, located just off the reservation’s eastern boundary, is the primary population center and service hub for both tribes, making it the natural anchor point for casino visitors coming from outside the region.
Wind River Hotel & Casino operates the Wind River Rewards Club as its loyalty program. Enrollment is free at any rewards desk on the property or through the casino’s website. Members earn points on slot play and table game wagers that can be redeemed for free play credits, meal vouchers, hotel stays, and entries into drawings and promotional events. The program includes an Eagle tier with enhanced comp benefits for frequent visitors. Promotions rotate regularly and are posted on the casino’s website and social media channels, with point multiplier days and seasonal drawings among the recurring offers.
Wind River Hotel & Casino is located at 180 Red Wolf Place, just off Highway 789 approximately two miles south of downtown Riverton. From Casper (roughly 120 miles east), take US-26 West through Shoshoni and follow signs toward Riverton; the casino appears on the right before reaching the main commercial district. From Lander (about 25 miles south), take US-789 North directly to the property. From Jackson Hole (approximately 150 miles west via US-26/US-287), the casino is a straightforward drive through the Wind River Canyon.
Both properties offer free surface parking with easy access from the highway. Wind River Hotel & Casino additionally offers valet service and dedicated motorcoach parking on the east side of the building.
Riverton is a city of approximately 10,000 residents and functions as the commercial hub of Fremont County. The downtown corridor along Main Street offers local restaurants, a farmers market on summer weekends, and independent retail shops. Major chain retailers — Walmart, Home Depot, and several national fast-food brands — are clustered along Federal Boulevard and the US-789 commercial strip. The Wind River Hotel & Casino is largely self-contained for dining and lodging, but visitors staying off-property will find a range of chain hotels within five miles, including national brands along Federal Boulevard.
Outdoor recreation is a significant draw for the wider region. The Wind River Range, one of Wyoming’s most spectacular mountain ranges, begins roughly 40 miles to the southwest and offers world-class backpacking, fishing, and climbing. Boysen State Park and Boysen Reservoir, about 20 miles north toward Shoshoni, provide boating, camping, and fishing with easy day-trip access from Riverton. Yellowstone National Park is approximately three hours northwest via US-26 and US-287 through Dubois. For visitors combining a gaming stop with broader Wyoming travel, Riverton makes a practical overnight base on the route between Casper and the park gateways.
