US.- In an agreement with the state of California, Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino has been allowed to expand and nearly double its slots offering. The 25-year Tribal-State Gaming Compact signed between Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians authorises the operation of 3,500 gaming devices.

The casino currently offers 2,000 slot machines, 40 tables games, seven restaurants and 400 hotel rooms.

Tribal Chairwoman Claudia Gonzales said: “Throughout the negotiations the Tribal Council worked tirelessly to protect our sovereignty, and this new compact will provide for the expansion of our gaming business.

“After years of tough negotiations, we reached an agreement that will ensure Chukchansi Gold remains the premier gaming resort in the region.”

The new compact comes after years of negotiations between the Tribe and the state.
