Million Dollar Elm Casino. 73 N City View Rd, Ponca City, OK 74604. Claim this business. PERRY – Construction is now underway for the new Fancy Dance Casino to be placed north of Perry, according to Ponca Enterprise Gaming, a subsidiary of the Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. In May 2019, Ponca Enterprise Gaming made the announcement that the casino will be located at the intersection of Interstate 35 and US-412/Cimarron Turnpike in Noble County.

The Ponca Tribe is getting closer to rejoining the Indian gaming industry after a long absence. Construction on the Fancy Dance Casino began in May, The Enid News reported. Work on the 10,000 square-foot facility, featuring nearly 290 electronic gaming machines, is scheduled to take about nine months, so expect an opening in early 2020. “The new Fancy Dance Casino will be a source of revenue and stable employment for the Ponca Tribe and residents for years to come,” Ric Lonsinger, the chief executive officer of Ponca Enterprise Gaming, said in a news release posted on the tribe's website. The tribe's two prior casinos had to be shut down in 2002 and 2003, respectively, due to regulatory issues. In both situations, the National Indian Gaming Commission raised issues about the operations at the facilities. The tribe is now working with an experienced partner. Global Gaming Solutions, a subsidiary of the Chickasaw Nation, which operates more than two dozen casinos across Oklahoma, is helping develop Fancy Dance. “The expertise Global Gaming Solutions brings to the Fancy Dance Casino ensures future patrons will have the best possible experience when they visit,” said Lonsinger. “We’re happy to have the opportunity to work with leading industry experts, and we look forward to providing a top-notch entertainment experience to residents and visitors.” Fancy Dance Casino will be located near the intersection of two major interstates east of Enid. Details about the project first emerged about a year ago. Construction underway for Ponca casino near Perry (The Enid News September 9, 2019) SA-PTO Settlement Agreement (May 13, 2013)

We are going to bring our hotels online after we open, and we can determine the demand. No food service at this time but we will offer pre-packaged beverage service.

“I anticipate these coming back as soon as further public restrictions are lifted. Guests 65 and older will be recommended to shelter in place per the state and CDC recommendations. Guests will enter the facilities at their own risk as this virus is not going away and we will all be on safety protocols until further notice,” he said.

The reopening will be guided by a 13-page “Health & Sanitation Program” that closely monitors government policy changes, CDC guidelines, government mandates and public health advancements, he said. Casino management will continue to make changes as necessary or appropriate to the protocols as they monitor the casinos.
