Bear Claw Casino & Hotel is a small casino located on the White Bear First Nations near Moose Mountain Provincial Park and Carlyle, Saskatchewan, Canada. The 2,800 m2 (30,000 sq ft) facility includes a casino (with 132 slot machines and 4 table games), lounge and restaurant, a 35 room hotel, and stalls for campers.[1][2][3]

The Casino was the first casino in Saskatchewan operated by a native group to open in the province in 1993; at that time, it was caught up in a legal battle between the local first nations group and the province over jurisdiction.[4] Originally, the casino opened in 1993 in the club house of the White Bear Golf Course. It moved into its current location in 1996.[5]

In 2010, the 35-room hotel was fully renovated when taken over by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority and joined to the Casino facility.[6] After reopening in June 2010, this became the first hotel operated by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority.
