The casino initially was evacuated<\/a> at about 7:30 p.m. (CT) Friday after a man threatened to kill himself during the phone call. Guests were ordered to leave.<\/p>\n

The gaming property was searched by local police. No bomb was found.<\/p>\n

As a precaution, the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission<\/a> also directed its officers to undertake a second search at the casino.<\/p>\n

No Bomb Found<\/h2>\n

Neither an explosive device nor a suicidal man were located. No one suffered injuries.<\/p>\n

\n

We don\u2019t believe there is a credible threat currently at the casino,\u201d Nancy Chartrand, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City Police Department, told the Kansas City Star<\/em> news outlet on Friday night.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The unidentified caller had told a 911 dispatcher that he was going to die by suicide. He also claimed there was an explosive device in a casino restroom, according to the Star<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As of Saturday, the caller had not been apprehended by local police. No word if he was identified by authorities.<\/p>\n

Casino Resumes Some Operations<\/h2>\n

Nisqually Red Wind Casino, located in Olympia, Wash., was forced to temporarily close this week after what it called a \u201ccybersecurity<\/a> incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

It shuttered on Thursday and resumed some operations at noon on Friday. These include slot machines, table games, Keno, and sports betting. Only limited food and drinks were being served.<\/p>\n

But ATMs, signups for new club accounts, check cashing, credit card and debit transactions, enrollment kiosks, and some rewards were yet to be working as of Friday, the Olympian <\/em>news outlet reported.<\/p>\n

There were no details released on the incident. Nor did the casino reveal if any personal information belonging to customers was stolen by cyber criminals.<\/p>\n

\n

We truly appreciate your patience as we work hard behind the scenes to get all services back up and running for you,\u201d the casino said in a Friday post. \u201cWe hope to see you soon, and we truly hope that your luck is better than ours has been this past couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tribal casino has a 46,000-square foot gaming floor. It provides more than 1,670 slot machines and a high limit room. Table games include blackjack, Pai-Gow, roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold \u2019em, craps, and baccarat.<\/p>\n

The casino is located on the Nisqually Reservation. It is about 26 miles south of Tacoma, Wash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
