The North Fork Mono Casino, located near Highway 99 in Madera County, California, is scheduled to open to the public on October 28, 2026, concluding a project that took more than 25 years for the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians. The casino was developed and will be managed by Las Vegas-based Station Casinos. Tribal Vice Chairman Fred Beihn described the opening as surreal and a dream come true, noting the casino will support many tribal programs beyond gaming. General Manager Mark Ward highlighted the property's unique design with lighter colors and floor-to-ceiling windows. The casino honors the tribe through elements like the restaurant name "Kopia," which means coffee in the Mono language. It will offer eight dining options, including a partnership with Eddie's Bakery, four bars, over 2,000 slot machines, and 40 table games.
