Shoshone-Paiutes Plan: Mountain Home Casino

The Shoshone-Paiute has wanted to build its own casino for several decades but has not found the right opportunity to do so. In 2021 the tribe considered a 50/50 partnership with the Fort Hall Business Council to build a Mountain Home casino, but the tribe rejected that deal in favor of 100% ownership.

The Shoshone-Paiute is considering to buy land for a casino on I-84 off Exit 95 near Wingers Restaurant. A description of the casino has not been announced; however, the tribe is partnering with JTC Gaming LLC on developing plans for a casino.
