Kings Mountain Casino Project Expands Gaming Floor
As reported by The Charlotte Observer, a large crowd of hundreds gathered on Kings Mountain Boulevard Wednesday morning prior to the opening of the Catawba Two Kings Casino’s first phase.
This new preliminary gaming venue takes the place of the temporary casino that has been running on the location since July 2021. Additionally, it provides the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority with an expanded configuration as building work continues on the permanent resort.
Included in the first phase are 1,350 slot machines, 36 electronic table games, and 22 live table games. Patrons can also enjoy a 68-seat restaurant, an 18-seat bar, sports betting kiosks, and a player rewards desk. This expansion introduces an additional 250 slot machines and eight table games over the previous temporary facility.
Parking facilities were also enhanced for the opening, offering guests two levels of parking within the complex.
Trent Troxel, Vice President of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, stated that the full resort is still scheduled for completion in spring 2027. Upon finishing, the project will span approximately 2 million square feet and feature a 24-story hotel containing 385 rooms.
The completed Catawba Two Kings Casino is designed to offer 4,300{0} slot machines, 100 table games, 11 dining establishments, 11 bars, a players lounge, 2,700 underground parking spots, and 800 ground-level parking spaces. The dining options will feature a steakhouse, an Italian eatery, a marketplace, a café, and a grab-and-go counter.
Building work on the permanent resort commenced following a groundbreaking ceremony in June 2024. In October 2025, construction crews installed the final structural beam atop the casino during a topping-out celebration.
According to tribal officials, the project has already generated hundreds of construction positions. Once finished, the resort is projected to provide employment for roughly 2,200 local residents and members of the Catawba Nation, creating fresh job prospects in an area that has long suffered from the downturn in the textile industry.
