The National Indian Gaming Commission ordered the Coushatta Tribal Gaming Commission to suspend the license of Todd Stewart, who was general manager of the Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder. Those claims were later confirmed through an accounting firm’s audit of the casino, the letter said. The Coushatta Casino Resort broke ground on a new $150 million hotel in March 2024. According to the letter from federal regulators, the Coushatta Tribal Gaming Commission must issue a hearing notice for Stewart’s potential license revocation and notify regulators of its decision within 45 days. Members of the tribe’s gaming commission could not be reached for comment.
