Sycuan Casino was opened in 1983 by the Sycuan Tribe as an Indian bingo hall. Business was profitable and the bingo hall was expanded in 1990 to 1,500-seat bingo parlor in a 68,000 square-foot building. It included 35 poker tables and 20 seats for off-track betting.
To attract more customers the Sycuan Tribe purchased Singing Hills in 2001. With that acquisition Sycuan became a casino, a golf course anad a 120-room hotel. There were two resaurants and a shuttle bus to connect the properties.
In 2011, Sycuan Casino completed a $27 million renovation of the casino expanding the buffet and adding a sports bar. At that time Sycuan had grown to 305,000 square feet.
Sycuan Casino became the "Sycuan Casino Resort" on March 27, 2019 when a $260 expansion project was completed and opened to the public.
The 2019 expansion added a 12-story hotel tower with 300 rooms, spa and sauna, adult pool, cabanas area, lazy river and 42,000 square feet for new meeting space. It also added a new 60,000-square-foot non-smoking gaming floor and ten new restaurants and bars.
