RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) - The Northern Arapaho Tribe reports that its casino operations and associated businesses are now the largest employer in Fremont County.

The tribe issued a release on Tuesday saying the casino operations now employ 560 workers and plans to add more.

The relocated and expanded Little Wind Casino at Ethete marked its grand opening on April 4, bringing its employment there to 60 workers. That put total casino employment ahead of the Riverton school district, which employs 520 workers.
