Is California taking a bite out of Nevada gambling? The main thing California lacks in casino experiences is a central location where you can visit a variety of casinos in a day or several. Spectacular Las Vegas, a world mecca for gambling and entertainment, will do fine as it continues to grow, but has definitely been hit by the economy, gas prices, and their biggest client base--California--a 38 million population that can gamble in their own home state when the chips are down.

Since 1990, the California tribal casino industry has grown from a very small and insignificant industry to one with annual gross gaming revenues of about $7.5 billion per annum by 2009. Over this same period, Nevada's gaming revenues grew from approximately $5.0 billion in 1990 to $10.4 billion in 2009, having declined from a peak of $12.8 billion in 2007.

Northern Nevada destination resorts of Reno and South Lake Tahoe had experienced substantial slowdowns or contraction of their gaming industries since the advent of California tribal gaming in the early 1990s, as measured in a number of ways, including number of gaming devices, employment, and gross gaming revenues adjusted for inflation. Las Vegas experienced substantial real growth over this same period, until the Great Recession of 2007-2009, at which point it experienced a dramatic reversal of fortune.

California casinos permit gambling and gaming at Indian-owned casinos for adults age 21 and older. Among the casino superlatives are Pechanga in Temecula, a four diamond casino with the largest casino in the Western U.S. Another four diamond resort casino is Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez.

Below is a list of Indian tribes and casinos they own and operate along with hotels at or near the casinos. California is situated next to Nevada, the weekend playground for Californians and the nation. Las Vegas, Stateline and other casino cities are conveniently located nearby. If you like to stay and play in California, enjoy some of the great opportunities provided in California Casinos.
