Cliff Castle Casino in Camp Verde, Arizona has unveiled a new smoke-friendly gaming parlor spanning 5,345 sq ft and offering 140 new slot machines as well as updated electronic table game (ETG) titles.
The property held a grand opening event for the new smoke-friendly space, featuring a ribbon cutting ceremony with GM Chris McGahey.
“This new gaming parlor represents much more than an expansion — it’s a reflection of where Cliff Castle Casino is headed,” McGahey said.
“We are investing in premium experiences, modern technology, and thoughtful design to better serve our guests. It’s an incredibly exciting time for the property, and this opening is just one example of how we’re elevating our gaming floor.”
The new gaming parlor addition increases Cliff Castle Casino’s offerings to more than 800 slot machines and table games, with the property currently owned and operated by the Yavapai-Apache Nation Tribe.
Cliff Castle Casino stated the new parlor “seamlessly blends” into the property’s “broader vision” of modernizing operations and casino offerings while providing guests with “choice, comfort and premium amenities.”
The property also shared that it will continue working with gaming suppliers and slot manufacturers to ensure the new smoke-friendly parlor’s offerings remain up-to-date with newly released titles.
In November 2025, Gate City Casino, currently owned and operated by Delaware North, officially introduced New Hampshire's first-ever Aristocrat Lounge, as well as 300 new video lottery terminals (VLTs) to its gaming floor.
The transition to VLTs was said to be made possible by recently passed legislation in New Hampshire, helping to govern the state's charitable gaming program and also introduce a new revenue-sharing system for operators.
