Construction is underway with an opening set for next year

The Ponca Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is investing $20m into an expansion at its Fancy Dance Casino in Oklahoma, which will see an expanded gaming floor with an extra 500 electronic games and a sports bar.

The new sports bar, called Buffalo Post 38, will offer a full-service bar and a menu offering smash burgers, wings, and the FDC Kickin’ Chicken Sandwich. The bar will serve signature cocktails, as well as bottled and draft beer.

Rodney Fourkiller, CEO of Ponca Enterprise Gaming, said: “Fancy Dance Casino is proud to make this significant investment in our property that will continue to benefit the Ponca people. This expansion allows us to provide our guests with more gaming choices, a new dining experience, and an exciting place to gather. Buffalo Post 38 will bring something new to Fancy Dance Casino while continuing our tradition of hospitality and entertainment.”

“This endeavor shows the forward-thinking mindset of the Ponca Enterprise Gaming Board, Ponca Business Committee, and the leadership of Fancy Dance Casino,” said Travis Thomas, General Manager. “It also conveys a belief in our team and the product we provide on a consistent basis. That trust isn’t something we take for granted and we’re excited to maximize the return on the tribe’s investment.”

Bergman Walls & Associates conceived the project. Connect Advisors, FSA Advisory Group, Bank of Oklahoma, and Nabholz are additional project partners.
