North Fork Mono Casino opened in Madera, California, featuring over 2,400 slot machines and 40 table games after decades of legal delays.Summary
The North Fork Mono Casino officially opened on Tuesday in Madera, California, offering more than 2,400 slot machines and 40 table games. Managed by Station Casinos LLC in partnership with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, the approximately $750 million resort includes a High Limit Room with 138 slots and 10 table games, eight dining venues, and four bars. Amenities draw on local tribal heritage, with bars named after significant landmarks and a flagship steakhouse offering farm-to-table cuisine. The project follows decades of tribal efforts slowed by state and federal lawsuits, and a pending federal lawsuit from the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians seeks to suspend operations. Tribal treasurer Maryann McGovran said the casino will generate revenue for social services and for the City and County of Madera. Future phases include a hotel, parking garage, entertainment centre, and conference centre, with timing dependent on the federal litigation outcome.
