On June 25, 1985, the Rumsey Band of the Wintun Indians opened a modest bingo hall on their Rancheria in Brooks, California. The popularity of Cache Creek Indian Bingo & Casino soared immediately and on October 7, 1993 the hall was expanded to include card games.
A second expansion began in 1996 and was opened in phases in 1998 and 1999. The bingo hall now had a 1,200 seat capacity and three new restaurants were opened, including China Camp and the150-seat buffet.
After California Governor Gray Davis signed the State Gaming Compact in 1999 the casino added slot machines and more table games, creating the most popular gaming facility in Northern California. The broad popularity of the casino meant only one thing - more expansion.
In 2002, the tribe announced plans to build a $200 million property, renamed Cache Creek Casino Resort, on land adjacent to the existing facility. Completed and opened in 2004, the resort now features eight new restaurants, the 600-seat Club 88, the 20,000 square-foot multi-purpose Event Center and 74,720 square feet of casino floor space. The 200 room hotel includes a lavish health spa and an 18-hole championship golf course is under construction.
Today Cache Creek Casino Resort has 2,600 slot machines, 111 table games and seating for 1,000 bingo players. It's the second largest private employer in Yolo County with more than 2,400 employees.
