Operated by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), the 49,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) facility broke ground on June 12, 2017, and opened to the public on December 21, 2018, after a formal opening ceremony on the 20th. Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young was in attendance for both events.

The facility is situated on land owned by the Little Pine First Nation, who holds the municipal service agreement with the city of Lloydminster. A consortium known as the Border Tribal Council (which includes the Beardy's, Canoe Lake, Lucky Man, Onion Lake, Pelican Lake, and Poundmaker nations among others) is the landlord and facility developer of the property, which is leased to the SIGA as operator.
