In addition, there will be a hotel and convention center. When it opens, the venues are slated to have not only the 12-table poker room, but also 2,000 slot machines, more than 80 table games, and 12 distinct dining options. Sky River Casino will be the seventh tribal casino in the Sacramento region, though it will be the closest casino to both Sacramento and the South Bay Area.

That followed the land having been placed in federal trust in February 2017 and then-Governor Jerry Brown and the Tribe signing a Gaming Compact, the California State Senate and Assembly then unanimously ratified that compact. The $400 million casino project, which is being built on 35.9 acres of land west of Hwy 99, was approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) back in 2019. The new casino is scheduled to open in the second half of 2022 and PokerNews has confirmed there are plans for a 12-table poker room. Other than that a fun evening.Earlier this week, the Wilton Rancheria tribe and Boyd Gaming broke ground on Sky River Casino in Elk Grove, California. The clientele resembles that of a lower end nursing home with a smattering of Walmart customers and a few low-lifes that look like they were extras in the Godfather movie. We were told to come casual, and we did, but even in jeans, polo shirt and sweaters we felt overdressed, so know that any elegance here is misplaced.

The ShIpyard bar in the middle is nice, and an escape from the sadness in the general area. There's places to get food upstairs, a Dunkin' Donuts, and a Sbarro pizza place. Never mind, we thought, lets go for it, but waiting over 30 mins to get near one was too much for me and we headed to the automated roulette table where the wait was slightly less.

Upstairs (non-smoking) we went to find a mass of slot machines, all of two operational Roulette tables and about 6 Blackjack tables with between a $10 - $15 minimum. Entering from the South Entrance one is confronted by the stench of cigarette smoke. Came here with low expectations, as we just wanted to have fun.
