  The tribe, which opened a convention center and a 250-room hotel in 2004, wants to make its Indio facility more of an overall tourist destination and not something dependent solely on gaming, said Paul Ryan, general manager of the East Valley Tourism & Development Authority.The authority is a tribal entity, overseen by a five-member board, that manages the casino.
  
  The golf course is the first to be built by a Coachella Valley gaming tribe in conjunction with a casino, Ryan said.

  "This is going to be significant because it's going to involve the whole casino, not just part of it," Ryan said."That's a little unusual, but the casino was built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and over time it's become dated.We want to bring the casino up to the same standard as the hotel and convention center."
  
  The renovation, which will start in early July, will include construction of a circular bar on the casino's main floor and installation of software in the casino's 1,956 slot machines that will make it easier for casino officials to track a player's progress and know when a player is eligible for a prize.
  
  That technology, called Bally iView, won't be used to track suspected cheats, Ryan said
  
  "We already have enough integrity-tracking systems in place," he said. . "We want to raise the level of accuracy and be able to reward people quickly when they've won something."
  
  Software will also be installed at the casino's 40 table games; similar to Bally iView, that technology will track the work of dealers and pit bosses to make certain that winners are paid quickly.
  
  "It will take a lot of errors out of the game," Ryan said.
  ...
  The 95,0000-square-foot casino will be enlarged to 112,000 square feet to allow for wider aisles and an improved layout of the facility's slot machines, Ryan said.
  
  Those changes, along with the golf course opening March 25, will help give the Cabazon tribe a tourist destination, meaning a place where people will be inclined to stay more than a day or two.
  
  About 70% of Fantasy Springs Resort Casino's business comes from people who live within 25 miles of Indio; people in that demographic typically spend $50 to $100 a day at the casino.
  
  The destination demographic - visitors who live more than 100 miles from Indio - spend an average of $300 a day, Ryan said.
  
  "This renovation is crucial for us, no question about it, because we have to be more than just a gaming operation," he said.
  ...
  Tribal officials are also considering building a 500-room hotel next to the golf course, although that project is still "several years away, at least," Ryan said.

  Ryan: The golf course turned out better than imagined. If you were to talk to us a month before Eagle Falls opened and said a year from now, you're the first choice of Playboy, you're the first choice of Fox, we probably would not have believed it ourselves.
  
  GNM: How did Fantasy Springs entice you to come west, away from your New Jersey roots with a tremendous track record? Ryan: I always joke that I had to leave Atlantic City for the mayor to really become mayor. [laughter] I really did it for that purpose to let him take over.
  ...
  Ryan: Any [gaming] company I've ever worked for has been committed to creating an entertainment experience and creating value.
  ...
  Ryan: I hope we are. There are people that are always trying to tell that story. I know here in this property just in the two to three years I've been here, there have been many times we've told a player that we will not deal to you; we will not take your action. We will exclude people because we feel it's in their best interest not to be here.
  
  GNM: How do you tell when a customer has crossed that line and his or her behavior is in the realm of addiction? Ryan: We review the customers on a weekly basis. We'll see some customers that start to have patterns. I had one recently, the casino manager was talking about a player and he said he was getting very nervous about the player and that it was becoming a problem, so we stopped dealing to the person.
  ...
  Ryan: Our business model is better served being this way.
