Nation Tribe: Coquille Indian Tribe

2355 South Pacific Highway
Medford, OR 97501

(541) 779-1501

The Coquille Indian Tribe wants to build a casino in Medford Oregon and name it 'The Cedars at Bear Creek'. The location would be in the southern part of Medford along the east side of Highway 99.

The Medford casino would be the second casino owned by the Coquille Indian Tribe. The Tribe owns and operates The Mill Casino Hotel in North Bend, Oregon.

Progress Report

In 2012 the Tribe purchased Roxy Ann Bowling Lanes and the old Kim's Restaurant which totals 2.42 acres. This land acquisition was submitted to the U.S. Interior Department to determine if it qualifies as a building site for a tribal casino.

In 2017 the Interior Department found the Tribe has the right to build a casino on that land once it is transferred into federal trust.

The Coquille tribe then applied the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs to place the land into federal trust. This is a multi-step process that is proceeding and a final decision is expected soon.

Construction Plan

The Medford casino would reconstruct the Roxy Ann Lanes as shown in the following two illustrations. The top picture is Roxy Ann Lanes and the bottom picture is the new casino with a northwestern theme.

Medford casino application rejected by BIA

June 15, 2020

The Medford casino project is dead. The Coquille Indian Tribe, which owns The Mill Casino Hotel in North Bend, had plans to build a second casino in Medford to be named The Cedars at Bear Creek.

Planning began in 2012 and proceeded with filing an application filed with the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to transfer 2.42 acres of land in south Medford into federal trust for the purpose of building a Class II gaming casino.

On May 27 Coquille tribal leaders received letter of rejection from the BIA. The letter was written by the principal deputy assistant secretary for Indian Affairs, John Tahsuda, who explained the application for the Medford casino is denied.

Coquille Tribal Chairman Brenda Meade was upset by the decision and said:

'By ending the normal, fact-based process for making trust land decisions, Tahsuda has silenced the many people in the community who are supporting our efforts. He also is denying our local officials the opportunity to express their growing appreciation for the tribe's work in the community and their interest in pursuing economic development on this property. They all were promised that their voices would be heard every step of the way.'

The Coquille Tribal Council will consider the options and decide what steps the tribe should take next.

Proposed Medford Casino Opposed

September 24, 2013

Much opposition has been given to the proposed Medford casino. The Coquille Indian Tribe wants to open an additional casino. This has many speaking out against it.

As of now there are nine casinos in Oregon. All of them are tribal owned. At North Bend, on Central Oregon's coast, the Coquille own their casino. They want to transform a bowling alley in Medford into their second casino location.

The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians own a casino north of Medford. Their fear is the new casino would hurt their business.

Medford is 165 miles away from the Coquille casino in North Bend. The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs has been asked by the tribe to put property in Medford into a land trust. If approved the Medford property would be considered part of the tribe's reservation land. Therefore allowing for the development of a casino.

Currently the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 allows for tribes to developed casinos in locations where they choose. On September 19 there was a hearing by a congressional panel about the proposed casino location. It was advised that certain portions of the gaming act should be rewritten to discourage tribes from being able to build casino so far from their tribal land.
