Chicken Ranch Casino Resort

Chicken Ranch Casino Resort

Chicken Ranch Casino Resort opened July 15, 2024 adjacent to the original Chicken Ranch Casino, which has operated since 1985. The official grand opening was celebrated Nov. 9, 2024.

The new Chicken Ranch Casino Resort is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills in the town of Jamestown, California. The distance is an hour from Yosemite National Park and two hours from San Francisco International Airiport.

Chicken Ranch Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians.

History
The original Chicken Ranch Casino opened as a bingo hall in 1985. The bingo hall became a casino when slot machines were added in 2000. A major renovation project in 2011 added more slot machines and a restaurant. In May 2019 the casino expanded to 600 slot machines, 9 table games, and a 900-seat bingo hall. Today the original casino operates as the only smoking area on the property.

Name Origin
The name "Chicken Ranch" was branded on the Me-Wuk Indians living in the Sierra Nevada foothills by the federal government in 1908.

"Obviously, they couldn't write down what our name was. They said you live on Chicken Ranch Road, so here's your name: Chicken Ranch Rancheria."

- Lloyd Mathiesen, Tribal Chairperson

The Chicken Ranch Band of Me-Wuk Indians were federally recognized in 1985. Their reservation is 2.85-acres of land in Tuolumne County, and their population was 164 in the 2010 Census.

All-New Chicken Ranch Casino & Resort planned for 2024

February 1, 2021

Last week the Chicken Ranch Rancheria Me-Wuk Indians of California announced plans to replace the Chicken Ranch Casino with an all-new casino, hotel and conference center. Construction will begin this summer and finish in 2024

.

The new Chicken Ranch Casino & Resort will be built downhill from the current casino, which will remain open throughout the construction period.

"We've taken a careful and calculated strategy in growing our business to meet the needs of our guests throughout the region with the thrill and escape of gaming and great food. But the idea of a resort was always in the back of our minds. We've all seen the tourist and transient dollars pass through our community over the years. It just makes sense to offer those people the opportunity to stay awhile."
