Casino Information

The Miwok Indian Tribe on the Shingle Springs Rancheria located just East of North Buckeye Rancheros is attempting to open a large, Nevada-style casino. Originally the casino was to be located on the South side of Hwy 50 at the Shingle Springs Dr. offramp. If this location is not approved, then the tribe will attempt to locate the casino on the Rancheria itself just North of Hwy 50 immediately adjacent to the North Buckeye Rancheros.
