Casinos and Gambling in Oregon

Years ago skeptics told of the demise of the gaming industry, saying it was overbuilt and unsustainable.  Of course, they were wrong.  Casinos are hotter than ever, and they are everywhere.  For better or worse, more and more people are looking to the neon lights of a casino when searching for a little fun.  Las Vegas has been among the fastest growing American cities for years, and American Indian gaming halls are popping up all over the place.  The secret to having fun when gambling is to not spend more than you are willing to lose.  If you can stick to this seemingly simple premise, you can have good fun with gambling.  

If you are traveling in Southern Oregon and happen to be looking for a place to spend a little rest time (and money) or if you are looking for a fun destination in and of itself, Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort is worth checking into.  Located in the small community of Canyonville, Seven Feathers is owned and operated by the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.  It has 147 guest rooms, more than 1,000 gaming machines, over 20 tables, keno, and poker.  Four restaurants can keep you well fed in between gambling runs.  Seven Feathers does a good job at drawing some top notch entertainment.  check out sevenfeathers.com for more info.  

Cross the Cascade Mountains to the east and you might come across the Kla-Mo-Ya Casino in the small town of Chiloquin on Highway 97.  It has 325 slots, six tables, and two restaurants.  It is situated just north of the Klamath Falls area, and provides a good rest stop along the way north.  Look at klamoya.com.
