The casino will add approximately 144,000 square feet, 2,000 new slot machines, a new poker room and a new high-limit area. A new five-storey hotel wing will have over 200 rooms, a 28,000 square-foot rooftop restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for 480 guests and a 3,500-seat theater.
California Nations Indian Gaming Association adds members
The California Nations Indian Gaming Association (CNIGA) has added two more tribes to its membership. Joining CNIGA are the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians and the Big Valley Band of Pomo. With these new additions, the CNIGA has grown from 34 tribes in late 2019 to 50.
Of the CNIGA tribes, forty-four are gaming tribes, giving the organisation nearly 70 per cent of all gaming tribes in California. The Alturas Indian Rancheria, Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono Indians, the Colusa Rancheria, the Karuk Tribe, and the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation joined CNIGA in February. The latter four tribes are former CNIGA members.
